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.
Thank Goodness these guys were overwhelmingly suggested to me after posting online for tree trimmers. They are by far the best! Very friendly, right on time and did a great job on my big tree! The best part was that u can trust them. As a single woman I have been ripped off before and I was really scared it could…
I would highly recommend this company. They trimmed a large maple tree and three pine trees. The crew did a great job, make sure I was happy with the results, cleaned up and were friendly and 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…
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!
Excellent job! Totally cleaned up, were fast and efficient. Highly recommend!
The team did an incredible job. Professional and put our needs first. The price was the best out of 4 quotes. When completed, you couldn’t even tell they had been there. Fantastic experience. Would recommend to anyone!!
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!
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!!
OUTSTANDING! Great team, was done quick and right. Very careful of the grass and surroundings. Thank u guys!
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…

Best tree service, ever! These guys are very meticulous and careful. They cleaned everything up and even the pine needles on my roof! I am extremely happy with their work! They are my tree guys forever! A+++
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…
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…
Fantastic job, service and cleanup! Right on schedule and as priced! Highly recommended!
Could not be happier with the service received, needed the tree trimmed to have a new roof put on, they were quick and exceeded my expectations, my tree has never looked better!
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…
Great company the crew was excellent , great teamwork and they left my property better than they found it. Would recommend them for your tree trimming needs.

Need your trees trimmed or taken down? Call Busy Beaver tree care they do great work. We had trees trimmed and one cut down and the clean up was all outstanding.
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!
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!

We just bought this home few months ago and the trees were all overgrown and let go.

Cleanup was perfect from backyard to the front…
Had these guys over yesterday. They did a great job. They came on the day they said they were coming and got it done. I had six decent sized trees taken down and a lot of trimming and clean up. The did a great job cleaning up the mess afterwards. Very happy. Would have taken me all summer to take that down and…
Very friendly, affordable tree care. The team did a great job, were quick and even cleaned up everything very nicely afterwards. Would highly recommend!
We highly recommend this company. We were impressed from start to finish with the way everything was handled from tree trimming to clean up. Everyone was professional and pleasant to work with. We definitely will call this company again if the need ever arises.
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.
Trimmed our very large showpiece tree. They explained why they cut cut out a large branch to preserve the health of the tree. Cleaned up thoroughly. Very reasonable cost. Even though they are very busy and we scheduled several months ago, they showed up on the day promised. Work well done by a friendly efficient…
All round great experience, from owner to crew! I will call them again this year for more needed work...definitely would not hesitate to refer Busy Beaver Tree Care to others.
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…
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.
WOW! They left the lawn looking great after taking down two trees as well as branches overhanging the house. Excellent service and price. Top notch. Highly recommend!! They removed the brush from the down trees and left me wood that I can cut up for firewood.
These guys did an awesome job for us!
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.
I highly recommend Busy Beaver and will use them again.
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.
