Unlicensed Tree Experts

A message from Denise Gill, County Police Community Coordinator

Maryland Law requires that anyone who does tree trimming work be licensed. Lately, quite a few people who solicit "tree" work have instead scammed unwitting homeowners out of thousands of dollars. Many of these persons who solicit tree work come from the Culpepper area of Virginia and often prey upon our senior citizens who live alone.

Should you need a tree care professional, please visit this web site, where you may enter a company name or a person's last name, and check for a license.

Please report all suspicious "tree" work activity to our non-emergency number, 301 279-8000.
