Jeff and his crew did a fantastic job removing a tree limb that had fallen on our fence during a storm back in July. They fully removed everything and assessed the tree that was still standing to ensure it wouldnt be a safety issue. Their clean up was really impressive and even removed a pile of fallen branches that we had gathered from the storm. My mind was at ease while they were here working with Jeff explaining each thing they were doing to my mom and myself. Will definitely be using them again and highly recommend their services!

This company is excellent! Jeff always returned my calls or texts promptly. They removed a huge pine tree from my back yard and also a smaller arborvitae. The cleanup was also excellent. I would hire them again. He is the only tree guy who gave me a copy of his insurance!

Jeff is highly skilled, communicative, and truly an expert when it comes to trees. He removed eight trees for us, including several massive ones that were precariously close to our house. Thanks to the advanced equipment he brought, he completed the entire job in just two days, even grinding down all the stumps. Other companies would have needed twice as long to finish. His crew was incredibly professional and prompt. We couldnt be happier with the service from Madd Beaver.

Incredible Storm Cleanup with Precision and Care
After a recent storm left several trees on my property damaged, I called Madd Beaver Treeand Im so glad I did. Jeff and his team were absolutely phenomenal. They removed multiple large trees from mine and my neighbors backyards, and I was especially impressed by their use of a crane to safely lift the cut sections over my house to the front yard.
It was like watching a well-coordinated ballet of heavy machinery and expert teamwork. The crew was professional, efficient, and left the property spotless. Jeff clearly knows his stuff and made sure everything was done safely and with great attention to detail. I felt completely confident in their hands from start to finish. Highly recommend Madd Beaver Tree for anyone needing expert tree removalespecially for tricky or storm-damaged situations. Five stars all the way!

We used Jeff and Madd Beaver Tree Experts to take down five large trees in my yard. The job was a difficult one, but he and his team made it look easy. Jeff was professional and provided the appropriate paperwork and proof of insurance. Further, he kept me informed about the timeline. After removing the trees, he stumped them and cleaned the yard. He was very careful not to destroy my yard and the cleanup was absolutely impeccable. I would highly recommend MADD Beaver Tree Service.

Our weeping willow tree came down during hurricane Ida on September 1. I called Jeff at Madd Beaver. He came right over and gave me an estimate on the spot. I have used him before for trimming this tree and he always gives great prices far lower than everyone else in the area. He put me at the top of the list and they actually removed the tree that day. It took about seven hours. He then came back to remove the stump and ground Wood. They worked very hard in a timely manner. A++service. Would never use anybody else.

I would highly recommend Madd Beaver Tree; Jeff and his crew are highly skilled and very professional. Reasonable price and showed up to do the job when he said they would. We had a large dead maple tree in my backyard with no access for a truck to get to so this was not an easy job. Jeff and his crew were experts in climbing and taking down the tree, removing the brush and logs from the property and cleaned up the yard like they were never there. Great Job!

Jeff and his crew did an outstanding job of removing 5 large dead evergreen trees with stump removal from the back side of our yard. Since our yard was fenced in, those guys worked so hard climbing and cutting the trees and dragging all the branches and large cut tree trunks to our front yard where the wood chipper truck was located. The clean up was amazing.all the debris was completely picked up and the stump grinding was filled in and the entire area was raked and smoothed over. I would highly recommend Madd Beaver Tree Service.

Madd Beaver has performed tree work at my house twice over the past few years (several large trees removed, stumps ground, trees pruned). Jeff and his crew have always been friendly, professional and thorough. I called around before selecting his team, and his quotes were half the price of one of the corporate tree companies. He'll tell you what he can and can't do, and he's honest about it. You really don't find too many service providers like this anymore.

Jeff, the owner came out and met with us and made us aware of what could and couldn't be done with the tree. He gave an estimate and a time for the project completion and he followed through on his commitment. He has 4 people who work with him and each one of them is knowledgeable, hard working, honest and nice. They did a fantastic job and it was a pleasure having them!

Madd Beaver came quickly to provide an estimate and took care of the job in a timely manner. The entire team worked safely, they were professional and reliable. Jeff and his team were respectful not only to me but to my neighbors also when they needed to go onto the neighbor's property. They cleaned everything up, even some shrubs and debris I had in the yard. Jeff is very knowledgeable about all aspects of tree removal and care. I would call this crew back without hesitation the next time I need any tree service. Jeff is fair, prompt and honest.
Mark Wrenn
Jeff and his whole team were professional and worked hard, safely, and quickly. Jeff took the time to coordinate with all the neighbors what was going to happen that day so that they wouldnt be surprised. Jeff knew what was the best way to approach the job and after watching them work I know he was the best for the job. You will never go wrong with hiring Mad Beaver Tree Services.

Jeff and his company removed 1 large and 2 smaller trees that had been blown down during a windstorm in August. Despite being a very busy time, we quickly received an estimate. The workmen worked hard in high heat, and the area was very clean by the end of the day. Jeff is a man true to his word, and we highly recommend them for tree removal.
