Adopted in 1945, the Maryland Tree Expert Law addresses tree care work done for compensation on private or public property in Maryland. The purpose of the law is to provide a layer of consumer protection by licensing qualified and insured tree care companies and individuals.

Anyone providing tree work must obtain a license. So why are there so many people willing to take your money without a license? That is an important question that you should consider before you hire some to perform tree care on your property. To be sure you're working with someone who skilled and professional, ask for their Tree Expert License Number and to see their license card.
