These guys did an amazing job. A lot of obstacles in there way and they didn't hit anything. Highly recommend. Incredible price! Very quick, very professional.
Easily the best tree trimming and removal experience we’ve ever had at our property, and we’ve had plenty. Easy communication, quick to answer calls and texts and gave clear information on what should be done and why. Price was the lower than other companies who quoted the same work, they showed up on time and…
Crew did a quick and excellent job of removing 2 trees. One tree was challenging as the branches overhung the house, but was no problem. Outstanding clean up after the work was completed. Highly recommended.
I contacted Busy Beaver Tree Service this weekend and it's Monday now, and the tree and all evidence of it is gone. Very fast and excellent service at a very reasonable price!
The guys took down 2 trees, one requiring a "cherry picker". They arrived on-time on the scheduled day and finished taking down the trees with stump removal in just short of 1 1/2 hours. They even cut some of the tree trunks up into sizes which I can use for woodturning. They completely cleaned up. There was zero…
Very professional- great communication, awesome job, cleanup was well beyond what I expected, showed concern for not damaging my lawn. Could not be more satisfied!
The best around. They show when they say they will, they are super responsive and come with an entire crew and knock out your job quick along with cleaning up every last piece of brush. I could not recommend them enough!
They were very efficient in taking our storm damaged tree down. When they left everything was completely cleaned up. They did everything they promised they would do. I was very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them.
I was Extremely impressed with their efficiency, coordination, communication, quality of work, fair prices, and professional service. I couldn’t believe how fast they were able to complete the job and how clean they left the surrounding areas. Strongly recommended. Thank you for the amazing job!!

These guys are great! We had 3 trees taken down in our backyard. They cleared out the debris, found the stumps and cleaned up in record time! Joe and his crew were very professional. Would highly recommend Busy Beaver!
We had Joe and his crew come out to my mom‘s house to remove 7 dead trees. Process was perfect. Our yard looked better than it did before they got there. They did everything in a professional manner. The crew worked hard and was well mannered. They even helped my mom bring in her groceries. Thank you Joe and crew.
100% Use this company for all your tree needs. I have had these guys out to my property twice to remove dead, damaged, and precarious trees. They may tell you they aren't the absolute cheapest option but of all the companies I've ever gotten quotes from, they are by a wide margin. They have never caused any damage…

I wish all businesses had this level of integrity and professionalism! Joe and his team were kind, knowledgeable, and made the process of removing 12 trees stress free. Finally can see the sunset from my house and couldn’t be happier =)
Most of the trees on our corner lot haven't been trimmed since they were planted 26 years ago. So we decided to give them the attention they deserved. But I doubt we could've hired a better crew than Busy Beaver Tree Care to do it. With minimal discussion beforehand, I watched them fan out across the lot like they…
These guys did a great job clearing out our tree line!
This crew is amazing, especially for the prices they charge. By far the best deal in the area.
Busy Beaver Tree Care performed well above my expectations! Our project consisted of removing over 30 tall pines, removal of two root balls (one being an estimate of 5k#), and grinding of some stumps. It's as if they were never here, the trees simply disappeared. The care they take to ensure minimal damage to the…
They were incredible! They removed 24 trees that were 40-50 feet tall! They had the equipment to handle this job and a crew to get it all done in one day. The workers were great! They were incredibly efficient! Everyone was focused and did their job well. They cleaned up everything. We were extremely pleased…

They were professional and informative with what options may be best in removing a large tree limb. We are very happy with how quickly they could help and would highly recommend.
Joe, his son Troy, and their crew are amazing. First, we are new to the area and to owning a property of this size with so many trees and Joe took the time to walk my entire property to give his advice and talk through our ultimate goals. He is so knowledgeable and I felt super empowered and educated on the…

We had two really tall trees that needed to be taken down with a crane. Joe and his crew were on time , friendly , and professional.They were a hard working crew on this sweltering hot day.

Fantastic team of people! Really kind/professional and willing to answer all questions. I honestly feel like we scammed them the price was so good for the quality of service we received! They cleaned up and removed several trees, even going out of their way to grind up a few stumps that already existed on the…
4x in the last few years they came for 2 storm incidents and 2 planned tree removals. Each time consistent, professional, on time, great communication. Best service I have ever experienced with any home owner related services.
The crew and equipment got started at 8am and finished up at 4pm. 11 medium to large elms cut down, removed and all cleaned up. They performed efficiently and safely and we were impressed by how professional they were. We're definitely going to use them again. Great value.
Tree knowledge and our different viruses for our area, valuable! Affordable, fast, clean up amazing! Recommend these guys! Family owned, honest and reliable. You WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Took out trees that had grown over my home that had dropped limbs after some storms. Came back with a crane and did an amazing job. A great group that cared about small details, even during a large project of removing two large trees. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again!
The guys came and removed our 35 ft pine taken down in the storm within 2 days of scheduling. On time, chopped the tree up and removed the root ball within 20 minutes. Would most definitely recommend Busy Beaver! PS Price was very reasonable!
Great friendly service fast and reliable did a absolutely fantastic job would highly recommend.

We were pretty unhappy about having to take out one Ash and four weak flowering Pear trees. Busy Beaver came and made quick work of it, and did a great job including grinding and cleanup. Their quote was very fair, and everyone was professional and efficient. They were great. We highly recommend them.
Amazing job! Quality, professional work at an affordable price!
What a fantastic experience! Woke up to a downed tree in our front yard this morning from the storm that rolled through. Joe and his team came out and took care of the tree and stump in no more than 45 minutes. It was amazing!
Very professional and fair price. In just 3 hours the crew of 7 took down and totally cleaned up 3 large trees and stumps in our yard. The crew was efficient and careful, even holding large screens around the stump remover to ensure nothing was hit by flying debris. They shredded all the large branches and carefully…

I rarely give a review to a business but these guys truly did a wonderful job. Everything from being fair priced to on time. They took down a 85 feet tall pine tree that was growing two feet from the side of my 2 story house in Rockton. They didn't drop so much as a twig on my roof and hardly even disturbed the…
