Small businesses are the backbone of the United States economy.

The owners of these small businesses are entrepreneurs who often take on significant financial and professional risks, provide employment opportunities, and bring creativity and ingenuity to the commerce of their local communities, towns, cities, and counties. Many business owners work long hours, endure challenging times, and make personal sacrifices to keep their vision alive.

Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified East Georgia Tree Service as a business that is highly appreciated by its customers and provides valuable services throughout the region. The company’s continued success speaks to the dedication and ability of Blais Chance, who has overcome the many obstacles and barriers that are part of business ownership.

Blais began his career as a lineman for a local electric company. While working that job, he started a small tree service on the side, taking on jobs and building experience. What started as a modest side business gradually grew into a full-time operation, expanding into a dedicated crew built on hard work, trust, and commitment. Over time, East Georgia Tree Service has taken on larger and more complex projects, including FEMA-related work in Florida and specialized cleanup efforts on an island where equipment had to be transported by barge.

Today, the company continues to serve local power companies and the surrounding community with professionalism and reliability. The same core crew has remained together, a testament to strong leadership and a family-oriented approach. Blais treats his crew like family, and in return, they share that same level of care and commitment toward the community they serve.

East Georgia Tree Service is known for its focus on thorough cleanup—ensuring that when the job is complete, it looks as though they were never there. Their reputation for being trustworthy, dependable, and detail-oriented has earned them the respect of local residents, schools, churches, recreation departments, and the chamber of commerce.

Beyond business, Blais is a family man who enjoys spending time with his son and daughter. Whether it’s fishing, playing sports, relaxing by the lake, or enjoying boating and side-by-side riding, he values time spent with his family and community. They also love watching the kids participate in sports, spending many hours at the ballfield cheering them on, supporting their growth, and being part of the moments that matter most.

We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Blais Chance for his past, present, and future contributions that East Georgia Tree Service and its staff have made and will continue to make in Jenkins County.
