It is making a comeback so lets' be ready. This resurgent pest is devastating in the caterpillar or larvae stage. It begins after the Winter Moth larvae have dropped so it may require a second visit from Bug Busters. You may remember the tattered leaves and armies of hairy, blue and red caterpillars from the 1980's.
Pruning involves the selective removal of parts of a plant, such as branches, buds or roots. Here at BarkBusters we utilize pruning techniques to keep your trees and plants happy and healthy.

Cedar Apple Rust affects both your Cedar and Apple trees. Both trees are needed to support the conditions that cause this fungus to thrive.

Mike is stellar. He gave a fair price, show up on time with his crew, stayed the whole time and made sure the job was done efficiently, and his crew cleaned up everything. I'm so satisfied with the work done on my trees. Ask for Mike when calling Bark Busters. He will make sure your job is a fair price, done correctly, and your satisfied. Thank you so much crew!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
Brent and the rest of the crew did a stellar job completing cutting down three trees and pruning two back. Worked quickly and the job was done in less than three hours (they were not huge trees). Very courteous and great pricing for all that was done. Thanks again.

Workers were incredibly rude and unprofessional. An adult man raised his voice at my 70 year old Mother when she asked him to stop cutting a certain tree by her front door . They also did not perform good work, they butchered the trees and they have never looked worse. They also did not know the term "arborist" which is concerning when you have people coming to remove trees etc. The trees will likely be permanently damaged due to this. What a shame.

I asked for the crew rate and pointed out nine trees I wanted out, most of them mature oaks and poplars. The crew rate was at a substantial discount for what I'd previously been quoted by another company just for the five most problematic trees. Risky, but wow it paid off. The guys worked hard, took out all nine, and cleaned the yard fully in a day. They even had time to limb and trim back a tree I intended to keep, and needed it. Tremendous value and service, much appreciated.

Mike and Paul are the best. They show up on time, complete the tasks and the yard is clean. Pricing in right in line and Mike's climbing skills cannot be beat. When you are doing tree work, don't go cheap. These guys are the best and don't need all kinds of fancy cranes to do regular tree work. Been using them for over 20 years.

Bark Busters removed a very large (100+ year old) linden tree from our front yard in May 2012, including stump grinding. They also pruned several large shade trees (removal of 8-10 limbs per tree).
The owner Michael was very quick to respond to my phone call and came by to give an estimate within two days. Once we decided to give them the job (they were the best of three quotes), they started within about 2 weeks and it took 3 days. The crew showed up precisely at 8am each morning and was extremely professional and courteous.
The tree we had removed was massive and there were wires in the way
