Who we are

Expert Care from a Tree Service in Charlton MA

B&R Tree Service didn't start as a corporation; it started in 2001 with Bernie Gauthier, a chainsaw, and a vision to bring elite level arboriculture to his local community. With a deep respect for the New England landscape and a belief that tree work is a professional trade requiring surgical precision, Bernie built B&R on the foundation of 'Integrity First.'

Over the last 25 years, Bernie has grown B&R from a one-man Charlton operation into a regional leader serving Shrewsbury, Natick, and surrounding towns. Despite the growth, the work stays personal: Bernie still coaches every crew himself, instilling the same disciplined craftsmanship and family-owned values the company was built on. When you hire B&R, you get a crew personally trained and personally backed by the founder.

Our Vision

To be the most trusted name in New England arboriculture by setting the standard for safety, sustainable practices, and breathtaking landscape transformations.

Our Mission

To provide every homeowner with elite tree care through disciplined craftsmanship, transparent communication, and over 25 years of family-owned expertise.
