Mature-oak removals, storm response, trimming, mulch, and firewood, one local crew that owns every machine it runs.
A-1 Tree & Mulch provides the licensed tree removal Towson MD homeowners have trusted since 1988, from single-tree jobs starting at $250 to hazardous storm work, 24/7/365. Those figures are starting estimates: every tree and site is different, so your real price comes from a free on-site quote. Maryland Licensed Tree Expert #552, BBB A+. Call 443-831-1280.
Why Towson Homeowners Choose A-1
78% of Maryland's forested land, with 40% of it over 80 years old, per the Maryland State Archives. Towson's established neighborhoods grew up under exactly those older, heavier trees, graceful right up until rot, wind, or gravity turns one into a roof problem. Every tree A-1 removes is recycled into the mulch and firewood we deliver.
Emergency Tree Removal in Towson, Any Hour, Any Season
A red oak across the driveway at 2 a.m., a split silver maple resting on the gutter line, a widow-maker limb hanging over the swing set, emergencies are where A-1 Tree & Mulch has built its name in Towson. Because the crane, bucket truck, and chippers are ours rather than rented, the crew that answers the phone is the crew that rolls, 24/7/365.
After a storm we also prepare free insurance estimates, documenting the damage so your adjuster gets clean paperwork while the tree comes off the house safely.

About these prices: think of them like a mechanic's estimate. A good mechanic will not quote your exact repair until the car is up on the lift, and tree work is no different. Every tree, every site, and every access path varies, so the figures above are starting estimates, not final quotes, and your real number may differ. The price you approve after a free on-site walk-around is the price you pay.
A Leaning Tree Will Not Wait for Business Hours
Storm damage, hangers, splits, and root-plate lift get worse with every gust. Send a photo and the A-1 team will tell you honestly whether it can wait until morning.

Towson Tree Removal Questions, Answered
How much does it cost to remove a tree in MD?
In Maryland, A-1's tree removal pricing starts at $250 for small trees under 20 feet, runs $500–$1,500 for medium trees (20–40 ft), and $1,500–$2,800 for large trees (40–80 ft). Those are starting estimates, not final quotes: like a mechanic pricing a repair, the real number depends on the specific tree, its size, access, and risk. Hazardous or fallen trees are quoted only on-site, and every Towson estimate is free, written, and confirmed before work begins.
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree on my property in Maryland?
Maryland licenses tree-care companies through its Licensed Tree Expert program, A-1 Tree & Mulch holds license #552, and local rules for individual removals vary by jurisdiction. During your free on-site estimate the A-1 team flags anything that applies to your property before any cutting is scheduled.
What is the cheapest time of year for tree removal?
A-1 prices removals by size, access, and risk rather than by season, small trees start at $250 year-round, and hazardous or fallen trees are always quoted on-site. The free on-site estimate gives you a firm written number whenever you call, so the calendar matters far less than addressing a failing tree early.
