Tree Pruning
Pruning is the removal of specific limbs/branches to benefit the whole tree. We have 8 trained arborists on staff that are experienced with the proper techniques to prune shade trees, ornamental trees, fruit trees and shrubs.

Young Tree Training Young tree training helps establish early form so that the tree develops into an attractive specimen.
Class I, II, III, and IV This type of pruning includes the removal of dead, dying, diseased, interfering, objectionable and weak branches as well as selective trimming to lessen wind resistance and to increase sunlight through the canopy, leaving the exterior size and shape of the tree.
Safety Pruning Safety pruning is the removal of selective large hazardous/dangerous limbs.
Fruit Pruning This specific way of pruning is tailored towards fruit production and accessibility.
Hedge and Shrub Pruning This type of pruning keeps hedges and shrubs looking their best, while giving them the ability to grow to their fullest capacity.
Cabling and Bracing Cables and rods are sometimes used to give structural support to multi-trunked trees. They give added strength to help support weak or damaged branches from high winds and storms.

Direct Root Fertilizing
Direct root fertilizing is the injection of fertilizer into the root zone of the tree or shrub. The injections are made from the base out to the drip line. Fertilizer promotes growth and helps the plant to naturally fight off insects and disease. It also helps the tree to recover if already damaged by insects, disease, winter damage and mechanical damage.
Bucket Truck Servicing
The two most common ways to prune or remove a tree is to climb it or use a bucket truck/aerial lift truck. Certain circumstances clearly call for one method over the other. Sometimes a combination would be the best way to do the job. An aerial lift or bucket truck provides a safe means from which to remove dangerous trees. We can not always put a climber in a rotten tree or a tree compromised after a storm.
Meet Our Team
Steve Keil
President and Founder of Keil Tree Experts
Meet Steve, the president and founder of Keil Tree Experts. Steve started Keil Tree as an ambitious young man, while attending Towson University.
He grew up in the Springlake neighborhood in Cockeysville and has prioritized serving his childhood community and surrounding areas. His
father was a veterinarian and passed his love of animals and nature on to him. Steve was able to utilize his love of nature through his work in
the tree care industry. Not every tree we are called to service will need to be removed, pruned, or care. Steve will always give his honest opinion on
the best way to proceed with the care of your tree. When he is not working, he can often be found working alongside Steve S. “Louie”, on the farm, propagating
trees.
Steven Keil
Sales Executive
Steven is the eldest son of the Keil Tree Family. After graduating from local Hereford High, he went to West Virginia University where he studied horticulture. He is a licensed International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Arborist, Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) member, and holds a pest applicator license with the MD Dept. of Agriculture. Steven has been a cornerstone to our team since 2006 and has been our primary sales representative since 2014. You are more than likely to meet him (and sometimes his 4 legged friend Jarvis) at some point in your services with us. The outdoors, as well as tree and insect identification have always been a big interest of his
and he is able to bring that knowledge to your backyard. When Steven is not working, he can usually be found in the woods foraging for mushrooms, woodworking, camping out with his friends, or with his beautiful wife Kristina and the newest addition to the Keil family, their baby Nora.
Jeremy Keil
Equipment Operator/Foreman
Jeremy, the youngest son of the Keil family, can often be found on site at the time of your large removals and technical jobs. He is a lifetime local of the Hereford Zone and has been a huge asset to our team since 2008. He is meticulous and conscientious making him an excellent equipment operator and team supervisor. Jeremy is adept at operating our skid loader, mini skid, and lifts and always takes care to make sure the job is done right. In addition to his machinery operating skills, he assists Steven in sales and will be happy to give you a quote for any additional work while he is on site. When Jeremy is not working, he can be found checking on his growing number of honey bee hives or spending time with his girlfriend Rachael and their precious one year old daughter Adaline.
