About Us

Our History

Treeworker in Bucket Lift Berens Tree & Excavating is a family owned and operated company, celebrating over 40 years of service in the tree industry. Joe Berens Sr. started his first company, named Joe's Tree in 1975. Five years later, Joe Sr. purchased an already established company, M&M Tree, and operated under that company name for over 15 years. In 1995, Joe Sr. decided to restructure the business and use his family name again as the namesake of the company, as his name was becoming a trusted standard within the industry. He became synonymous with dedication and hard work. The company is still operating under the same name today, Berens Tree & Excavating. In 2009, to further the knowledge of the company, Joe Berens Jr. received a degree from the Ohio State University in Landscape Design & Maintenance. The company has evolved over the years to best meet the demands of their clients, and will continue to evolve to satisfy the needs of every single customer.

Today, Berens employs 12 full-time staff. We pride ourselves on safe, quick, efficient, neat, quality work. Most of the jobs we complete are done within a day (example: tree removed, stump ground, yard installed – all in the same day). We are fully bonded and insured.
