Great people' they do phenomenal work! greatly exceeded my expectations.
Great service. Joe and his team removed my fence and a bunch of trees that were growing between the chain links. They made quick work of it. Very affordable price!
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!!
Highly recommended. They’re busy, but nice we were able to get on their busy schedule it was worth the wait. Pricing was fair and the team were all professional and quick. Cleaned up the space very well at the end. I would recommend them without hesitation.
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…

And boy what a show … we had a mess with dead trees horribly overgrown fence line and couldn’t Honestly, tell you how many trees they removed ( @ minimum 15) not small either ( white pine at lest 60’ tall). and pruned …the clean…
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 =)
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…
Busy Beaver is impressive! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I’ve had dealings with many tree companies over the years and THIS company is head and shoulders over anyone I’ve dealt with before. From the owner to the crew, everyone was kind, courteous, and extremely mindful of their work. Went above and beyond…
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. They took great care and caution while they communicated with the crane operator to make sure everything was done safely for…
Very nice and sincere! Work was extremely excellent!
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.
