My name is Chris Kashorek, and I’m the owner of Chris K’s Tree Service based in Avon, NY. I built this company on hard work, showing up when I say I will, and doing the job the right way from start to finish. When you call, you’re speaking directly with me, not an office or a call center. I’m involved in the work, and I take responsibility for how every job is handled.
Tree work in the Rochester area is not simple, and it’s not something to rush. The combination of heavy snow, ice, strong winds, and summer storms puts significant stress on trees throughout Monroe and Livingston Counties. Over time, even healthy trees can develop problems, and when they do, the work needs to be done carefully to avoid damage to the surrounding property.
I work with a skilled crew that understands what it takes to handle tree removal, trimming, and stump grinding in this environment. Whether we’re working in a tighter neighborhood in Brighton or Irondequoit, or on a larger property in Avon, Geneseo, or Livonia, the approach stays the same. We take the time to evaluate the situation, plan the safest way to handle the job, and complete the work with control and attention to detail.
A lot of the work we do today is tied to the long-term impact of the emerald ash borer. Ash trees across this region have been heavily affected, and many are now dead or in serious decline. These trees can become brittle and unpredictable, especially after they’ve been standing dead for a while. It’s common for homeowners to call after noticing limbs falling or the tree starting to lean. In many cases, removing those trees is the safest option before they cause damage.
We also work on properties with large mature maples, oaks, pines, and other common trees found throughout Rochester and the surrounding towns. Some jobs involve full removal when a tree has become unsafe. Others involve trimming to remove dead limbs, reduce weight, and keep branches away from homes and structures. Many jobs are a combination of both, depending on how the property is laid out and how the trees have grown over time.
Seasonal changes play a big role in the work we do. Winter snow and ice can break limbs or expose weak points in a tree’s structure. Spring brings softer ground and shifting root systems. Summer storms can cause sudden damage that wasn’t visible before. By fall, many homeowners start noticing issues that have developed over the year and decide it’s time to address them before the next winter hits. Understanding how these conditions affect trees is part of doing the job right.
Our goal on every job is straightforward. We want to complete the work safely, protect your property, and leave the area clean when we’re finished. That means using the right equipment, following safe practices, and taking the time to do the cleanup properly. When we leave, the yard should look like the work was done carefully, not rushed.
We provide tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, and stump grinding throughout Rochester and surrounding communities. If you’re dealing with storm damage or a tree that has become unsafe, you can also learn more about our emergency tree service.
If you’re looking for a local tree service based in Avon that takes the work seriously and stands behind what we do, I’d be glad to take a look at your project and give you a straightforward recommendation.
