Trusted Tree Services in Kensington, MD
Rock Creek Tree, Turf & Landscape provides complete outdoor care for Kensington homeowners. From tackling overgrown trees, removing dead trees to planting new ones, we bring the skill and equipment to handle it all with ease. You’ll often see our crews around Kensington, caring for properties near Rock Creek Park and throughout its quiet residential streets. With years of local experience, we know how to keep trees in this community healthy, safe, and beautiful through every season.
Removing a tree is a big job and when it’s done wrong, it can put people and property at risk. That’s why our crews use the right equipment, proven techniques, and a careful approach to take down unwanted or dangerous trees of any size. From tight residential spaces to larger wooded lots, we make sure the job is done safely and cleanly. Homeowners in Kensington often call us for:
- Montgomery County properties outside the incorporated towns, where a permit is usually only needed for large disturbances or construction-related work
- Removals in tight backyards where the only access is a side gate or an alley
- Silver maples and tulip poplars that have outgrown a suburban front yard
- Dead, dying, or storm-damaged trees leaning toward the house, garage, or driveway
- Multi-stem trees that have started to lean since the last wet spring
Healthy, well-shaped trees don’t just happen — they need consistent care. Our pruning services focus on enhancing both the look and structure of your trees, keeping them safe, balanced, and thriving year after year. By removing weak branches and shaping growth, we help your landscape stay both beautiful and worry-free.
When severe weather brings trees crashing down, every minute matters. Our emergency crews are on call day and night to quickly clear hazards, protect your property, and restore safety to your home. With the right equipment and experience, we move fast so you’re not left waiting. We help with:
- Hazards found after the fact, once the water recedes and the damage is visible
- A tree on the house, garage, or car after a storm
- Trees or limbs tangled in the service drop — we coordinate with the utility before we cut
- Limbs hung up in the canopy that could come down on their own
- Overnight and weekend calls when a tree cannot wait until Monday

Post-storm hazard assessment on mature canopy over houses and driveways
- Species:
- Oak, maple and tulip poplar
After the recent storms that moved through Kensington, Chevy Chase View, and the Town of Kensington, a lot of homeowners are taking a second look at the trees around their homes. Large oaks, maples, and tulip poplars add tremendous value and beauty to our neighborhoods, but deadwood, overextended limbs, and structural defects can become a problem when high winds arrive.

Local knowledge · Town of Kensington + unincorporated county
The Town of Kensington is smaller than the Kensington ZIP code
The incorporated Town of Kensington covers a compact area around the historic center and the MARC station. The surrounding neighborhoods that carry a Kensington address — much of the area toward Wheaton and Garrett Park — are unincorporated Montgomery County. The town and the county are not the same permitting path, so we establish which one applies to your address before quoting. Kensington also has a dense, mature street-tree canopy, which usually means overhead-line coordination on removals.

More From Our Kensington Team
Preserve the life and beauty of your mature trees with expert care. Our service begins with a thorough evaluation by a Certified Arborist, who provides accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans to ensure your trees receive the support they need. Why this matters for Kensington homeowners:
- Storm-risk review of the trees closest to the house before hurricane season
- Deep-root feeding on trees stressed by construction, drought, or compacted soil
- A plan you can stage over a few seasons instead of doing everything at once
- A written assessment from a Certified Arborist before you spend money on removal
When unwanted stumps clutter your yard, our stump grinding service removes them cleanly and efficiently—down to 10–12 inches below ground level. This leaves you with a smooth, level surface that’s ready for new grass, planting, or landscape projects in Kensington. We’ll take care of all the cleanup, too: excess wood chips and soil are removed, so you’re left with a neat, safe, and usable space.
If you’re in Kensington and need help with trees, call the pros at Rock Creek. We’ll come by for a free on-site estimate and talk through the best solution for your property.
