I had a huge diseased and dying tree in my front yard, and with every storm, huge branches would come crashing down in my and my neighbor’s front yards. So I decided to cut it down. Ballard provided a quick, reasonable estimate. When I asked for a rush job, they quoted an additional fee, and then put me on a payment plan to make the expense bearable. The day of, the crew arrived early, got started, worked throughout the day, cleaned up, and even left me and my neighbor’s enough firewood for the late fall! Highly recommend!

Juan and his team did a wonderful job landscaping our yard. They weeded the planters, edged and mulched, trimmed and pruned trees and shrubs. They also planted some new lavender and fertilized the apple tree they planted last year. I highly recommend Ballard for your landscaping needs.

The Ballard Enterprises team did an amazing job removing 7 trees from my property. Many of the trees were near a fence line and a shed, so the removal process was carefully planned out. Mission accomplished! I would definitely recommend Ballard Enterprises for your tree removal and stump grinding needs.

I would like to recommend Ballard Enterprises for their tree trimming service and the placement of a cable through a tree to prevent possible damage that could occur if a violent storm past through Maryland. The personnel from the arborist, Paul Fox, to the large onsite crew who performed the work on the trees to the office staff have all been a pleasure to work, are knowledgeable, polite and made this experience easy for us. Please choose Ballard Enterprises for your next project.

"Excellent service and quality work. I'm very pleased and would certainly work with them again."

"We are very pleased with the excellent work provided by the team at Ballard Enterprises. Arthur Balter recommended design solutions to address a drainage problem in our sloped backyard and to fix an erosion issue by our front mailbox. The landscape crew installed a swale in the backyard, placed river rock stones off the back patio and at the front mailbox, and restacked a stone wall. Arthur came by the day of the job to direct the landscape team and followed up with us afterwards to make sure we were satisfied with the job."

"We chose Ballard to do two projects. They didn't do work for the first project, and we appreciate them saying they wouldn't be able to do it. The second project involved them re-doing some work that another contractor did. I'd like to give a shout-out to the worker who did the estimate. He was friendly, professional, and responsive."

"Service was inconsistent - exceptional at times and other times required me to clean up afterwards. Costly for the size of my property (in comparison to service provided to larger properties). Payment process is seamless and concerns raised to the Management team were addressed quickly. Services for tree removal was exceptional and the guys wore the appropriate safety gear. The job to remove 2 trees on two separate occasions was done quickly and clean up afterwards was excellent! 10/10 would recommend!"

"They didn't do what they were paid to do. They haven't came back out to finish even though they claimed they would. They didn't check where the lines were, so they ripped up our cable. We lost phone, internet, and TV. It took us a week to get it back. They made the problem worse."

"They did an excellent job! They did a great job interpreting my vision and then delivering a wonderful landscape product."

Sheila S.

Lanham, MD

"I did recommend Ballard Enterprises to my HOA's management company and to a friend, both to my regret because the communication with the company was so poor at the time because two of the staff members were having health challenges--a situation that wasn't being communicated to me until very late in the relationship. As a result, my friend didn't use Ballard Enterprises for her tree work and I didn't use the company again. I hope the company owner has became aware of this communication problem and has taken care of it in the intervening years."

"I've noticed, after getting other estimates from other companies, that Ballard Enterprises prices are too high. That's the reason why we have decided not to go with them the last time we did the tress. They're charging too high compared to other bidders, for the same work. Ballard has a tendency to do things that aren't needing to be done. If I ask to just have dead tree limbs removed, on an otherwise healthy tree. Someone might say, well, you need to send those out. Which, would cost another $500-$1000. That's not what I am asking to be done, all I want are the dead limbs removed. It's okay to make suggestions. However, when they come back with the estimate, there are things listed that I have not asked to have done. That is disconcerting."

Severna Park, MD Homeowner

"Ballard Enterprises installed pavers and did some landscaping. After the paver installation, they throw down some grass seed on the slope of the backyard instead of installing sod. It resulted in rivers of mud ruining our grass. After being contacted, they installed sod without profit, which was appreciated. However, they had the gutter spout pointed onto the patio, which resulted in part of the patio caving in. The patio itself is great otherwise and the landscaping they did was excellent. However, I probably wouldn’t hire them again."

"First of all I appreciate the visit by the Arborist Paul Fox. He has been to 203 Cinnamon before with good recommendations. Then the two very hard workers (Jason and Melvin) did a great job on the massive cleanup left by the Winter Storm of January 2, 2022. We had 15 big Holly trees splintered from the wet, frozen snow that needed to be cut off at the tops and removed. Also a few dead trees cut down and removed (we live in the woods). This was a two day job."

JB M.

"Ballard does all of our landscaping work and they are outstanding."

Laurel, MD Homeowner

"The job took a while due to the winter weather, but Ballard did the work as promised. The job site was safe and no damage was done to the property. They left what I asked them to leave and removed what I asked them to remove. It was fascinating to watch the crew work and I'm happy with the results. I would recommend to friends and I am considering reaching out to Ballard for additional work."

"Ballard trimmed, removed dead branches, and cut down/removed an infested tree that was dying. They worked on 9 trees on our property. They performed the work during the winter season. The only reason we're not 100 percent satisfied is they left a few dead branches on a couple of our trees. We mentioned early in the site survey, how they would know what branches to remove and we were told it would be obvious to the workers. If they'd conducted a follow up and removed the remaining dead branches, we'd be more than satisfied. In fact that would exceed expectations."
