Maryland, the District and Virginia are defined by the Potomac River. It is the heart of our region. Naming the
company after our favorite river is our
way of showing our appreciation
for the river and the people and
communities that surround it.
From top to bottom, we enjoy the River: kayaking up north near Hancock, hiking Great Falls' Billy Goat Trail outside DC and fishing for stripped bass and perch near Point Lookout in Southern Maryland.

The District and Virginia do not have tree work licensing requirements or certifications so beware when a landscape crew or the neighborhood handyman says they'll perform tree work for you. Go with the professionals. Go with us.
The District and areas like Chevy Chase Village and the City of Takoma Park have tree work permit requirements. We will work with you to get the permit through the process.
