Nick and Jed did a huge job for me this spring clearing buckthorn and in grown box elder trees from in and around my property in Waitsfield. I could not be more impressed and pleased with their work. They were professional, efficient, and thoughtful in all aspects of the project.

We had Black Bear do some tree cutting at our house in Waitsfield. They were excellent! Timely, responsible, fairly priced and pleasant. They arrived on time, did exactly what we'd asked for and did a great job cleaning up after themselves. They were careful to do as little collateral damage as possible. We will definitely use them again.

Nick and Jed, and helper Angus were absolutely awesome. We've gotten a little old to deal with larger trees for firewood and maple syrup making. They came in with chain saws that worked, super high energy, skills and cleaning up etiquette that made them a pleasure to work with. We will definitely work with them again.

These guys are great! They showed up at my house the day I called to assess the trees I needed removed. They came out a couple weeks later and removed the trees. They showed up on time, listened to our needs, propose some great ideas and did a great job. They cleaned everything up beautifully On top of that, they seem to really enjoy their work and they were fun to interact with. Below I checked that I wasn't sure what the pricing was like and that's only because I didn't call anybody else But to me, the price seemed fair But of course you can't really tell if you didn't get a quote from anybody else
