Bonding is a phrase that is often used incorrectly. It requires a third party to “insure” that a company is going to follow through on its obligations to the customer. In the tree care industry, a company must be insured. Not all tree companies are licensed and even fewer are certified arborists. As a Maryland Licensed tree expert, we are required to maintain liability and workers compensation insurance which we do.

Maryland does require at tree company to be licensed through the DNR. This license is commonly called a LTE (Licensed Tree Expert). Our LTE number is 1970.

Certification is a professional achievement. The industries top achievement comes from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Our certification number is MA-5045A.

We are available for appointments M-F 8:30am-4:00pm. *If you have a true tree emergency, like a tree on your house, call 443-800-4058 and we will see you regardless of the day or hour.

It important we meet in person to discuss your tree issue. Too often we have been called to a property to give a tree removal quote only to discover that the tree just needs pruning. Talking through this process and visualizing how the tree will look after pruning is better done face to face. Besides, we believe we are fun to talk with!

We listen. Then we talk through a couple options. We can give you a written quote on the spot. This process usually takes 15-30 min. A few days later we conduct a friendly follow-up phone call or email and can then schedule the work with an exact date.

No. We understand your busy schedule doesn’t always coincide with ours. And whether you watch us like a hawk or are 100 miles away, it makes no difference in the quality or commitment to your trees.

Full payment is due within 30 days upon completion. We do NOT accept credit cards. You can give us payment the same day the work is completed or we will mail you an invoice.

Yes! We love discounts as much as you do. Military and teachers are automatically 10% off. Todd: My wife is a teacher and I am an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran.

We knew you would click on this. We are an independent small group of adventurers who work together as an efficient team. We stick to our values. We work hard and have a spirited time doing it.

To begin with, we care about the planet. Trees are a key component in the way the planet functions, and Viking is in a position to directly impact this function.

We use a biodiesel blend fuel in our trucks and equipment. Our chainsaws use vegetable oil instead of conventional petroleum-based bar oil. We reuse 95% of the generated wood debris on our jobs for agricultural compost, landscape bedding and firewood. In 2019, we planted 500 native tree saplings as a volunteer effort for erosion and sediment control.
