Why did you become an arborist?

"From ages 11-21, I was employed as a groundskeeper on the 450 acre Kennedy estate in Aquinnah. Through my eduction in Urban Forestry and Landscape Horticulture at the University of Vermont, I further explored the vast green industry. Working with mentor Arborists to clean up from Hurricane Bob, I was very inspired by the science and athleticism of Arboriculture. I was hooked and Beetlebung Tree Care was born!"

Roots in the Local Community:

"My family has settled and lived on Martha's Vineyard for (14) generations. I created, owned and managed legacy company Beetlebung Tree Care for (30) years before partnering with SavATree in 2024. I am so proud that our company will perpetually provide the best quality tree, lawn and landscape care on Martha's Vineyard!"

Personal/Fun Fact:

"My family and I have a flock of dorper sheep we graze on select Chilmark and West Tisbury pastures."

From the first estimate, through the many details of the tree removal, to cleaning up and making everything look balanced and beautiful, these guys were the Best! Reasonably priced, on time, professional and kind. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Beetlebung Tree Care. Charlie was wonderful to work with and he had his team over less than a week after our initial meeting. Much as I hated to take down a big, majestic tree on my property, its removal went seamlessly and my roof, cars, etc. are grateful to have it gone. 100% would work with SavATree again.

The crew worked hard from start to finish. Did an excellent job and a great cleanup after finishing. The whole crew was very courteous and responsive. Recommended very highly.

Great company to work with. They are excellent with communication, very affordable, and the crew was amazing. Fast, efficient, use excellent equipment and the site boss was great to be sure all his workers and our home remained safe at all times. I can't say enough about how satisfied I am with them. Five stars is not enough they deserve ten.

We had a sick beech tree. Josh told us about a treatment but warned that it was unproven. Well, it worked. They were back this summer for a repeat. We have used them for trimming and removal also. The work is excellent. When you are signed up for a full day of work you get more than a full day. The workers look for anything more that they can do before leaving.
