Dukes Tree Service Expands Through Acquisition

SUNDERLAND — Ben White, president of Dukes Tree Service, acquired Pittsfield-based Tony’s Tree Service on Oct. 13, allowing the firm to expand its service area into Berkshire County and grow its fleet of vehicles.

Newly acquired equipment, including bucket trucks and plowing equipment, brings the business’ fleet of vehicles to a total of 10 and will allow Dukes Tree Service to expand the services it offers in Hampshire County, White said. Tony’s Tree Service was formerly owned by Tony Verchot, who has retired.

White’s business provides tree trimming and removal services and snow removal in the Greater Amherst area, covering a 40-mile service region. The firm employs a certified arborist, several tree climbers, and many veteran tree-care professionals. For more information, call White at (413) 535-9808.
