Hungry Beaver Tree Service owner John M. Katelas performs all work himself, and prides himself on providing excellent customer service to his clientele.
When it comes to tree trimming, tree removal and stump grinding, it’s important to hire a business that always goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.

Hungry Beaver Tree Service performs stump grinding and stump removal above and beyond the standards of many other tree service companies. All stump grinding is performed to at least 4 to 6 inches below surface level. All work is performed by owner John Katelas (pictured).
Hungry Beaver Tree Service, which has been owned and operated by John Katelas since 2003, is that type of business–and its customer reviews on Facebook and Angie’s List prove it.
“We cannot thank John enough for the work that he did for us,” wrote Jaime S. in a Facebook page review. “(He) showed up on time and stayed until he felt the job was done. We had him remove trees, trim up some others and grind stumps… He did an amazing job! Highly recommend Hungry Beaver Tree Service!”
In another recent review from April 2016, an Angie’s List subscriber who had two trees removed, four trees trimmed and stumps ground, said the following about Hungry Beaver:
We had to reschedule with John a few times due to bad weather (at our own request). John was extremely responsive and understanding and kept in contact with us throughout the process. He and his team are incredibly reliable, responsible and work hard to ensure that the job is done correctly. They showed up on time and did not leave until the job was done. They cleaned up the yard so well that even I (the biggest clean freak in the world) was able to smile and not have to worry about going out to clean up any leftover debris. I highly recommend Hungry Beaver Tree Service to anyone and cannot thank them enough for a job well done!
“These guys deliver on their promises,” commented another Angie’s List reviewer. “John…maintained a professional attitude and stayed in touch with me during the various phases of work. The crew was respectful, well-coordinated and hard-working (even during the occasional episodes of rain that day). To their credit, they further managed to work around areas with blooming tulips, daffodils and hyacinths. Nothing was damaged–quite a feat, given the areas in which they had to work. There’s more work to be done around here, just not this year. But I will use Hungry Beaver again in the future based on this experience.”
Hungry Beaver maintains an “A” grade on Angie’s List, with more than 40 reviews posted, and received a 2015 Super Service Award for achieving and maintaining a superior service rating.
So how does Hungry Beaver consistently deliver this amazing level of service?
The company’s top-of-the-line equipment is one of the reasons customers trust them with their trees.
For example, Hungry Beaver uses a 60-foot track lift that can easily maneuver through gates and above flowers to help avoid damage to landscaping and fences.

Rather than relying solely on a bucket truck, Hungry Beaver uses a state-of-the-art track lift to reach trees and maneuver in narrow spaces. A track lift helps protect flowers, shrubs, fencing and other ground-level items that could be damaged by a different type of equipment.
That type of maneuverability is impossible with a bucket truck alone.
Hungry Beaver can also be counted upon to provide honest advice.
For example, they advise against tree topping whenever possible, because this practice can damage and even kill trees, leaving behind unsightly remnants that can detract from their surroundings.
If you are a borough or city-dweller, Hungry Beaver can help you identify street trees that could eventually damage your sidewalks as they grow, leading to costly concrete repairs or replacement. Stumps from street trees that are removed are always promptly ground to eliminate hazards and comply with local ordinances. (Note: If you plan to remove a street tree, be sure to always check with your local municipality regarding requirements/guidelines for its replacement.)

It pays to be proactive when it comes to tree removal. A dead tree can cause signifcant damage if it falls on a home or vehicle. Often diseased trees have hollow cores.
If you’re not sure whether a tree simply needs to be trimmed or removed entirely, Hungry Beaver can also provide you with information and advice to help you decide what course of action is most appropriate. Free estimates are always available.
And remember: When summer lightning storms strike, 24/7 emergency service is available.
