Hungry Beaver Tree Service owner John M. Katelas performs all work himself, and prides himself on providing excellent customer service to his clientele.

Mature trees can be a beautiful addition to just about any property, but proper care and maintenance of them is essential to help ensure their survival and to protect against property damage. Sometimes the complete removal of a tree is also necessary, due to age or disease, storm damage, excessive growth or for aesthetic reasons.

Regardless of the reason for your tree care or removal needs, when they arise, you need to call on an expert for help.

Hungry Beaver Tree Service, based in Springfield Township near Hellertown, has the expertise and equipment to get the job done correctly, promptly and with minimal disruption.

In addition to tree maintenance and removal, Hungry Beaver also performs stump grinding and stump removal to high standards, which ensure that each stump is ground to at least 4 to 6 inches below surface level.

Owner John M. Katelas–who personally performs all jobs–began the business in 2003, after growing up on a farm where he developed an interest in tree removal.

Hungry Beaver Tree Service serves all of Saucon Valley as well as Upper Saucon Township, Coopersburg, Springfield Township, Bethlehem and beyond.

Since founding Hungry Beaver, Katelas has invested in the high-quality heavy equipment that’s needed to appropriately perform tree maintenance and removal, such as a 60-foot rubbertrack area lift.

Most of his equipment is equipped with rubber tracks to help prevent lawn damage and ensure minimal ground disturbance.

Katelas personally provides each estimate, and visits each home while the property owner is available to provide additional information and answer any questions that may arise.

Since its founding in 2003, Hungry Beaver Tree Service has invested heavily in new, high-quality equipment.

Once a job is under way, maintaining safety on-site is of paramount importance, as is providing the quality service that keeps customers satisfied.

“Our experience with John and the Hungry Beaver Tree Service has always been positive,” said Amanda Fink and family of Hellertown. “He is reliable, efficient and hard working! After our first experience with him, my grandmother also hired him to do a job, and was very pleased with his work as well. We have another project coming up that we will be bringing him on for very soon.”

“He has been our ‘go to’ tree company since 2011,” said Lori Stinner of Hellertown. “He cut our sweet gum ball limbs off, that were a danger hanging over a sidewalk (and) he came to help trim up after that Halloween snow storm.”

Hungry Beaver Tree Service owner John Katelas thins out and removes dead limbs from a small red maple along Magnolia Road in Hellertown.

“He has done many jobs in my neighborhood,” she added.

Stinner said she has been impressed by Hungry Beaver’s “very reasonable” prices, as well as John’s friendliness, promptness and honesty.

“I like that fact he has his own equipment and cleans up, and hauls away,” she said.

Although Hungry Beaver’s service area includes Upper Bucks County, Center Valley, Coopersburg, Bethlehem and beyond, his core service area is the Saucon Valley, including both Hellertown and Lower Saucon Township.

No job is too big or small and 24-hour, 7-day emergency service is always available.

Hungry Beaver Tree Service is fully insured and PA licensed, with a flawless service record as well as 40 “A” reviews and a 2015 Super Service Award (awarded to just 5 percent of businesses) from Angie’s List.
