Excellent at what they do and their clean up job is pretty impeccable as well. Highly recommend!
About 2 weeks ago I discovered that a large spruce tree between my shed and power lines had cracked at the bottom, and was leaning on several other old trees. The next day it had shifted so I started asking around about tree removal services. One of my coworkers whose husband is in the construction field highly recommended Chavarie Tree Service and gave me their number. I called, left a message, and Abel Chavarie called me back the next day. I sent him some photos and he arranged to come two days later even though he had plans to go out of state the same day. I was so grateful that he responded so quickly. He and his crew showed up 10 minutes early that morning and he took time to review the situation with me. Not knowing much about trees, I hadn’t realized six other trees that were supporting the cracked spruce were not just old, they were also dead and needed to be removed. We decided this needed to be done because they were all so close to the power lines. This crew really knows what they’re doing. I couldn’t believe how systematically and carefully they neatly removed limbs and strategically cut the trees down, gently and expertly using ropes to maneuver large sections of the trees safely to the ground. This team operates like a Swiss watch, and are super safety conscious, which really impressed me and put my mind at ease. Mr. Chavarie explained that they would chip and haul away what they could and could come back for the rest, or if I preferred, they could chip the remainder in my woods, which would save me money. I opted for that and they did such a neat job of it that I couldn’t believe it! Then they neatly cut up the remaining viable wood into nice manageable sections and stacked it neatly behind the shed. They sawed the stumps as low as possible and raked up debris so that you would hardly guess 7 trees had been cut down! I was beyond pleased with the work and so grateful that they took care of this quickly before I had a real issue with trees falling either on the power lines or the shed. I would highly recommend Chavarie Tree Service to anyone who needs a tough job done extremely well. Abel Chavarie communicates in such a kind and friendly way on the phone and through text messages, and is so responsive to questions! And the price was more than fair, especially considering the rapid response time, level of difficulty, expertise and equipment required, and the great cleanup they do afterward. The work ethic is reminiscent of the good old days when people took pride in their work and truly care about the people they are serving. They’ve been in business over 45 years, and that work ethic has been handed down. I will be calling them again when I need more trees removed!
We hired Chavarie tree service for tree pruning, and we’re very satisfied with the experience. They were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced in proper tree care. Before starting, they took the time to assess the trees, explain what needed to be done, and why certain branches should be removed to improve health and safety. The pruning work itself was done carefully and efficiently. They removed dead and overgrown limbs without over-cutting, leaving the trees looking balanced and healthy rather than stripped. I also appreciated how they prioritized safety, both for our property and themselves. Cleanup was thorough—no stray branches or debris left behind, which made a big difference. Overall, we would recommend Chavarie tree to anyone needing tree pruning or general tree care. Reliable, skilled, and respectful of the property.
They always do an amazing job! Very dependable, i'm very careful working around powerlines.
Abel and his crew were able to remove a big tricky pine next to my home without damaging the home or fence that closely surrounded the tree. The fair price for the job was well worth the experience and skill I received.
