Mass Stump & Tree Removal
Mass Stump and Tree Removal opened its doors in 1965, by owner Peter Tankis. Peter truly enjoys his work, he is an extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and hard working man who has been climbing and caring for tree’s in the Blackstone Valley area and beyond for years before opening his own company. Peter has two sons by his wife Judy Tankis, Nathan and Jordan, who he has been passing his extensive knowledge in fine tree care to for many years. Nathan has been working with Peter since the early 90’s and is a very knowledgeable and a skilled arborist. Jordan has been full time with the company since the late 90’s and as well as his knowledge in fine tree care, he is also a skilled climber and bucket operator. Judy has also played a large role in the company since its inception. From answering business calls to book keeping to providing meals and caring for the work crew on a daily basis as if they where family. Peter has built his business on the grounds of outstanding tree care, customer satisfaction and safety for his workers and clients alike. Peter has always held to the important belief that being fully insured to protect his clients and those working for him is of top priority.
"We selected Mass. Stump & Tree Service after reading many favorable reviews about this companies services. We had overgrown arborvitaes, maple trees, and dead plum trees removed, and their stumps ground down in our front and backyard, and 3 other large maple trees pruned for better appearance. They came right on time with a 4 man crew and all of the necessary equipment, including a huge crane truck, tree chipper, and stump grinder. In a little over 4 hours they had completed all of the work that I had requested. I was impressed by their professionalism in everything they did, from expert pruning, to their careful work in removing a stump that was intertwined with our irrigation system valve box. There was no damage done to any of our underground pipes or cables, or any of our flower beds and gardens, even as they were pruning branches from trees right over these areas. When they finished, they cleaned up all the twigs, roots, and branches left on the lawn, only leaving the shavings from each stump removed. Since we live Shrewsbury, the logs from our maple trees that were cut down could not be removed as they could be hosts for the Asian long horned beetle. They did offer to transport the logs to the approved disposal site in Worcester, but we elected to keep the logs in our woodpile for firewood. We will certainly use this company in the future for all of our tree work as they are a great family team, devoted to customer satisfaction, and at a reasonable price."
