The Krause Family Story

From logging roots to serving our community with honest, reliable tree and excavation services

A Legacy Born in the Woods, Built on Family Values

Krause Tree and Excavation LLC was founded out of both passion and purpose. Aaron's story begins when he was just four years old, tagging along with his father, who was a logger. Some of his earliest memories are walking through the woods beside his dad, taking in the smell of fresh dirt and freshly cut red oak. If you know that smell, you know the kind of connection it leaves—it's something that stays with you for life. That's when his love for the outdoors, hard work, and tree care truly began.

Why We Started This Business

After years in the oilfield, missing too many birthdays, holidays, and moments with family, we knew it was time for a change. When Aaron discovered his employer was stealing wages and per diem, that was the final straw. Andria took a leap of faith and officially started Krause Tree and Excavation LLC as a woman-owned business in April 2025, creating a way for our family to work together doing what we love while serving our community.

Today, Krause Tree and Excavation LLC provides safe, reliable, and professional tree and excavation services throughout Clearfield County and beyond. We treat every property as if it were our own, and every customer with the honesty and respect they deserve. This company is more than just a business—it's a legacy that combines Aaron's father's roots in logging, our passion for the outdoors, and Andria's determination to build something meaningful for our family and community.

What sets us apart? We take on the dangerous jobs others won't touch. Trees hanging over houses, tangled in power lines, or wedged between buildings—these are the challenges we specialize in. While other companies might walk away, we see an opportunity to help our neighbors stay safe. It's not just about cutting trees; it's about protecting families and properties throughout Central Pennsylvania.

TESTIMONIALS

What Client Our Says About Us

"Working with Aaron from Krause Tree and Excavation was an excellent experience. Following a storm that brought down several trees on my property. I contacted Aaron on a Monday afternoon. He assured me he would stop by that evening - and he did! By the next day, I had a detailed estimate in hand. I was so impressed that I requested additional estimate for the removal of a few dead trees. By Friday of the same week, Aaron had completed the entire job. Including cutting, cleaning up, and hauling everything away efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend Krause Tree and Excavation to anyone in need of dependable, trustworthy tree removal services."

Cheri and I were extremely satisfied with the work that was performed. We would like to recommend Aaron and his crew for any removal or excavation that needs done around your property. Aaron and his crew did a awesome job for us and he will do the same for you!"

Chuck & Cheri Conner

Homeowners

"I hired Aaron to remove some widowmakers from my Hickory trees out front. Not only did he show up the same day that I called him, he gave me a fair price and got the work completed the very next day. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and his turn around time. I know anytime I need tree services in the future I will be calling Krause Tree and recommending them to all my family and friends."
