We had a terrible incident last night, where a large tree from a neighbor's yard came crashing down during a windy thunderstorm - smashing through our fence, deck, and large back window of our home (thankfully it didn't seem to cause further damage to the house). We met with a Ballard representative named Paul the next morning, who worked with our neighbor and us to immediately start getting the tree and all debris removed, as well as addressing a hazardous large branch from a separate tree still hanging towards our house. Shortly after Paul left and agreements were in place, Nelson and his crew came out the same day and cleaned up EVERYTHING tree related. In such a stressful situation, it really meant a lot to us that Ballard was able to act so fast in helping us out with their services. The team was very professional and communicated well what steps they were taking during the removal process. Thank you!

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.

Ballard did great work setting up drainage and building up our sloping back yard. They also built a beautiful hardscape to protect it. Mr Ballard was honest in his dealings with us staying on track to get the job done and stayed with his quote. We wouldn’t hesitate to call on them again.

Ballard Enterprise completely cutdown 15 trees, grind the stumps, and trimmed over hanging trees that originated on my neighbors property back to the property line. Everyone at Ballard were courteous, friendly ,and helpful. I highly recommend Ballard, and I intend to use them in the spring for other landscaping needs.

We’d used Ballard Enterprises for tree service previously and were impressed with their professionalism and quality work. So, we decided to include them when we solicited bids to build a patio in our backyard. We had a couple of simple requirements: include our fire cauldron, build some raised beds for growing herbs and vegetables, and mesh functionally and esthetically with our house. Tim spent time looking at the property and consulting with us and provided us with a wonderful design with multiple pricing options. After selecting the design that matched our budget he involved us in every step of the process in selecting pavers, boulders and other materials. When it came time to build his crew was professional and gave special attention to every detail. The finished product far exceeded our expectations.

"Ballard Enterprises provided excellent service. They keep me in the loop every stop of the way. They were very friendly and personable. I wish I could afford them to come back and do some more work. They were great."

Upper Marlboro, MD Homeowner

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Ballard Enterprises is very professional and reasonably priced."

"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."

"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."
