Services
I hired DC Tree to help prune a large tree in my AU Park backyard that had limbs growing over the top of my roof. DC Tree did really good work, cleaned up the yard after his work, and gave me a fair price. This tree will need work again, and I plan on calling DC Tree to do more work. I've used Matt several times.

Matt Jones is the best. He knows a boatload about keeping trees alive and thriving, his prices are amazing for the level of expertise he possesses, and he cares deeply about the city and its green canopy.

I cannot recommend Matt enough for your tree pruning needs. He was extremely responsive to emails, flexible in scheduling, and knowledgable. He is also super passionate about what he does and cares a lot about these trees! His pricing is reasonable and he's just a really kind and great person to work with.

Matt was quick to respond to my request for a quote and kept in contact. He did great work on the overgrown trees in our front yard, and went above and beyond to make sure that nothing fell on cars that were parked nearby. His fee was very reasonable, and he also gave some good advice on dealing with those trees long-term. I highly recommend him, and will definitely be calling him next time we need anything done with our trees!

I was hoping that they would cut down the dead tree that is a danger to continue to have on our property. Unfortunately, Matt said he wasn't accepting work that you had to get a permit for due to the circumference of the tree. What a disappointment! If your in the DC area and you make your business here, I would think that you would be willing and able to do the job, get that permit and whatever else needs to be done. I'll find a company that is willing to go through the trouble we are paying them for.

After sending him a few pictures of our tree, Matt spent 15 minutes on the phone with me telling me about the tree and potential issues the tree may face in the future. This wasn't a paid service but Matt still spent time telling me about my specific situation and answered all of my questions. Highly recommend!!

Matt stopped by, gave an honest assessment, and potentially saved me $$$. His honesty and advice are much appreciated. His knowledge and professionalism are "top shelf."

Matt did a fantastic job pruning a dogwood tree in our backyard that has great sentimental value to us. He was timely, reasonably priced, personable, and took the time to explain to us how to handle the tree going forward.

Can't recommend Matt enough! He was responsive and did a great job pruning our Cherry Tree. Matt came out to our house for a consult, spent time examining the tree and knew exactly what to do. He spent time explaining the process and gave us tips on upkeep. Reasonable prices

Matt's prices were very reasonable, he was responsive to emails and showed up on time. He went the extra mile to point out some poison ivy on our property and took care to work around a broken fence. We had one dogwood removed and some other trees pruned.

I had contacted Matt after receiving a crazy proposal from a tree company based in Rockville. I basically needed 4 trees pruned and cleared from the housing structure. 2 of these trees were very large.

Matt's estimate was reasonable and he provided immediate times/dates to fulfill this request.

We had scheduled for a weekday after completing the estimated cost but a cancellation allowed him to come in during the weekend to complete the work.

Thank god he did because this past weekend we had a hellish wind storm. My neighbor thanked us for getting our trees trimmed - this probably saved

Highly recommend Matt and DC Tree. I contacted him to assess and trim dead branches from the cherry tree in our backyard. I chose him based on Yelp reviews and previous not-the-best experiences with other tree services, and am 100% happy and look forward to using him again.

I had a good feeling from the beginning when he responded in less than a day to my email. He was able to come to the house that same day and check out our tree. He gave us an estimate to trim some significant dead branches at the top, thin out others and try to get our tree healthy again. The estimate was $300, which seemed

I would give more stars if it were possible.

We found Matt on Yelp. He responded very quickly to my wife's phone call. We set up an appointment and he came on time to the appointment. Matt clearly knows a lot about trees as he explained our options plus taught us about our Catalpa.

Matt provided us with very reasonably priced options. We decided to have Matt trim the tree back off our decks and off our neighbors' properties. Matt and his team were true professionals. They cleaned up everything when they were done, including lots of things that were not attributable to their

I contacted DC Tree to trim a large tree extending over my roof line. The owner, Matt Jones (a certified arborist) came out to inspect and gave a quote. He only quoted me the necessary work (not additional work that he thought could be done years from now) and also included the price for hauling and disposal (my calls to other large outfits made that a separate price).

He came on the agreed day, and set up shop- he climbed the tree, cut off the problematic limbs, and made other needed trims. He and his crew took care to protect my house. When done, my backyard was spotless - no branches or debris

I used DC Tree twice, the first time to do some serious pruning of an enormous catalpa tree behind our rowhouse, and the second to remove a mid-size tree that was entangled in our utility lines.

The company's owner, Matt, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions. His work was meticulous. His rates were reasonable. He was punctual and responsible. And importantly to me, he was a D.C. resident, whose business is located in the District. As a Shaw resident, I like to support local businesses whenever I can. I highly recommend him.
