Our Story
Built from the ground up, rooted in Southern Maryland
Founded with a passion for trees and a commitment to service, Southern Maryland Tree Service has been proudly serving homeowners, businesses, and municipalities for years. We started as a small, local operation focused on quality tree work—and have grown into a full-service company trusted throughout Prince George’s, Charles, Calvert, and Anne Arundel Counties. Our roots run deep in the Southern Maryland community, and every job we take on reflects that local pride.
Meet the Owner
Troy Proctor – A hands-on arborist with local roots
Southern Maryland Tree Service is led by Troy Proctor, a certified arborist with years of hands-on experience in tree care, equipment operation, and site safety. Troy brings a personal touch to every project—whether it’s removing a dangerous tree, grinding a stubborn stump, or designing a long-term care plan for residential or commercial properties. His mission is simple: deliver top-quality tree work that’s honest, safe, and professional.
Safety Is Everything
Strict standards, safe practices, peace of mind
We follow all ANSI Z133 and OSHA safety standards, and we take them seriously. Our team is fully trained in modern climbing techniques, rigging, and job site risk assessment. Whether we’re removing a large tree or performing a simple trim, we treat every property with the same care and attention to detail. Your safety—and ours—is always the top priority.
Locally Focused. Professionally Certified.
Credentials you can trust, service you can rely on
As a proud member of the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and with an ISA Certified Arborist on staff, we stay up to date with the best practices in arboriculture. But more importantly, we bring that knowledge to the local landscape—working in the neighborhoods we live in, and serving clients who trust us because of our reputation, not just our credentials.
