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…

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…

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.
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!
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!
Joe and his team did an outstanding job on my tree and stump removal of my 3 trees. Clean up was excellent and the crew worked really good together. I have 3 more for them to do next year.
Love these guys, they make cutting down these trees like nothing.

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…
We have used Busy Beaver for a couple of jobs at our home. Joe and his crew are professional, do an amazing job - all at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend!
Outstanding and professional to the hilt, they did such a wonderful job removing both the trees and the stumps and even when I added another tree after they got here. Great price and would recommend them to anyone.
Joe and his crew were amazing. Took down a tree, clear left behind stumps from previous owner and cut back a big tree in our yard. He and his crew showed up on time and had everything done and cleaned up within an hour. Would highly recommend this company for any of your tree needs. So personable and caring for your needs.
This is why you use the professionals. Everything gets done right. Busy Beaver Tree Service did a phenomenal job. They arrived early, were fast and efficient, careful not to damage any property, offered to remove an old basketball hoop at no extra charge AND we're patient enough with me to cut one tree down to a…
This is the second time my husband and I have used this company and we will not consider calling anyone else! They are prompt, professional, fast(as they come with a full team), and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them!
Highly recommend! Excellent work, from start to clean up. Work completed as requested and timely. Reasonably priced.
We just bought this home few months ago and the trees were all overgrown and let go. Joe the owner and his crew did an amazing job removing 5 huge pine trees and stump removal of each in the front and back yard, plus trimming all the other large trees in backyard. Cleanup was perfect from backyard to the front…
Very professional and detailed
Incredibly professional, quality work, and very reasonably priced
We are very pleased with the work that they performed the professionalism and the cleanup in the time frame that they got everything done
The crew came and took care of this monster maple that was a hazard to my home and family. The Busy Beaver crew worked fast and smoothly to take down this beast and went above and beyond with service. Pricing was top notch, took tree down and away plus ground stump for less than others quoted tree removal alone. Highly reccomend!
Highly recommend Busy Beaver Tree Care for tree and stump removal needs. They are professional, conscientious workers who leave your yard clean. Nice to deal with an honest and fair business.
The Busy Beaver Tree Team came out on our scheduled day bright and early with all their equipment. They removed my large maple tree and grinded the stump. They left the yard clean! They did an excellent job. The price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them!
Absolutely Amazing service! Honest and fair price, plus very professional. They cleaned up everything and left our home looking fresh and clear. All the guys were friendly, and worked hard. We highly recommend Busy Beaver and will definitely use their services in the future!
Great experience on all counts! Friendly, knowledgeable, clean, professional, fair price and on time. If we hadn't used them to remove all the stumps from our property, we would definitely use them again
We used Busy Beaver to remove some large dying pine trees from our yard. The crew showed up, and made quick work of removing the trees, grinding the stumps and cleaning up the mess. We also had them trim up some other trees, and grind out an old stump for us as well. We could not be happier with the job they did,…
Working with Joe at Busy Beaver has always been a delight. He is professional, on time and very kind. The team is careful to protect my lawn and other plants when they work and leave it spotless when they are done. I highly recommend using Busy Beaver.
Busy Beaver came out and cut down 3 pretty good size trees. The guys were really professional and they did a great job cleaning up. Would recommend them to anyone.
Wow! This tree service sets a high bar of excellence! We had 2 adult trees removed, 4 others trimmed, and many bushes removed. Giving our back and front yard some much needed care. Joe brought all the team and tools, and they were done in hours!! All friendly, all experts. Our canopy looks great now, they even raked…
Had 5 very large trees removed from our yard. 4 of the trees hung over the house and nothing was damaged or left behind. The workers were very professional and worked very hard. Couldn’t be happier. Too bad I don’t have any more trees for them to cut down. Would definitely use their services again. Thanks again guys!
They did a great job, were careful to not damage any of the surrounding area. Had to come in through the neighbor's yard at one point, and laid down pads so there were no tire marks. when they left there were no branches or other debris on the ground, all was cleaned up. I will definitely use them again!!!
Fantastic company to work with. Extremely reasonable pricing and they were on-time. Completed removal of 10 evergreen trees, plus trimming of 2 additional trees and they were done within a few hours. Would always recommend and plan to use again.
Joe and his crew removed 5 large trees for us, ground the stumps and trimmed another tree. He completed all the work AHEAD of schedule and at a very reasonable price. He and his crew were professional and very courteous. One other note, he called a few days ago and said he’d finished another job early and was…
I have called busy beaver several times. They are careful, quick, and affordable. Tree removal is a messy job. They get the job done and cleaned up much quicker than expected. They are as careful as they can be to remove the trees with minimal damage to my yard. I feel appreciated and respected.
Busy Beaver removed 2 trees for us today. It was done professionally with great care to not damage any plants or lawn around the area. The team worked well together, removed both trees efficiently, stumps were ground well, and clean up was perfectly. I highly recommend this company for the great job they do as well as for pricing.
We were extremely pleased with the services provided. Quick response time for quote, as well as job completion. Cleaned up every last branch... no mess left behind. Would highly recommend, and will use again in the future.
We’ve used Busy Beaver tree care twice. Both times they removed old trees that were quite tall. They took them down in a timely manner and took the steps to make sure our lawn was not damaged in the process. The crew was respectful and kind during any interaction we had with them. Pricing was extremely reasonable and we would definitely use them again.
Great job, efficient and professional.
We have used Joe and his crew several times for tree removal and would highly recommend them to anyone!! Very professional, easy to work with, in and out quality work. Thank you so much!! ⭐️ 5 STARS
We are very pleased with the service we received. All of the men were very professional in removing our 30 year old tree. They removed the stump and the large roots around the stump. The crew did an awesome clean up of the area. We definitely recommend them and would use them again.
These fellows are great, very professional, made quick work of taking down a 60 foot tall Elm tree on my property. Clean up was great, wouldn't even know they had been here. I highly recommend them.
