Monster Tree Service is expanding in Maryland.

Business entrepreneur Ujval Alva has purchased the rights to a Monster Tree Service territory in Montgomery County, Md., covering Rockville, Gaithersburg, Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Germantown and surrounding areas.

“We are excited to offer our community a wide array of services, including tree and plant health care, landscaping, tree removal, emergency services and more,” Alva said.

Alva attended the University of Maryland while obtaining his master’s degree in mechanical engineering. He has worked in the telecommunications field.

“This franchise has a great potential for growth,” Alva said. “During the process, I saw Monster Tree Service as an opportunity to own a business with a potential for high revenue and growth in the Montgomery area. After talking to various people, I felt comfortable with the brand and the company culture. It is apparent that the leadership team is doing everything in their power to help the franchise to continue growing.”
