We are Chesa­peake Tree & Out­side Ser­vices, LLC (C.T.O.S.) and have over 47 years com­bined expe­ri­ence and knowl­edge in tree preser­va­tion and main­te­nance.  We have the equip­ment, expe­ri­enced arborists,  and some of the best grounds men around.   We under­stand the impor­tance of good tree care for safety and aes­thet­ics,  and we under­stand that a good clean up is essen­tial.  We offer yard/lot clear­ing of tall grasses or brush, shrubbery/bush  removal or trim­ming, and will cut your orna­men­tal grasses down when needed.

Over the years C.T.O.S. has noticed many home own­ers often over­look their trees think­ing a tree can take care of itself, how­ever, that is not the case. Proper prun­ing of a tree is good for allow­ing air and light to pen­e­trate to the trees crown as well as remov­ing all the dead­wood. Prun­ing allows strong dam­ag­ing winds to flow through the leaves and branches of your trees, by light­en­ing the load on the limbs, most often times, pre­vents break­age of those limbs.  Keep­ing your shrub­bery trimmed and shaped will add beauty to your home, and assists with man­ag­ing from over­growth over time.

Hav­ing a knowl­edge­able arborist check­ing your trees for infes­ta­tions and dis­eases can not only save your trees, but your neigh­bor­hood trees as well. He can per­form a test, if nec­es­sary, to see if the tree is hol­low inside before it falls in your yard, or worse yet, on your house.  He can check for Bore infes­ta­tion and other pests, and can check your shrub­bery for pow­dery mildew, all of which can be treated.

It goes with­out say­ing, the planet needs its trees, and the health­ier they are the bet­ter for the planet.  With­out our trees, there would be no “us”.
