Our tree crew or tree care professionals - or even arborists - are trained to perform specific practices that relate to safe andf efficient tree care. Our Arborists typically work on a tree crew made up of 2-4 arborists/arborist trainees.Some of our arborists climb the trees, but some do not. There are several tree care maintenance tasks that need to be taken care of at ground level.
The tree care industry requires skill and hard work. Some tree care activities our arborists might provide are:
- Plant health care
- Pest Control
- Repairing storm damage
- Pruning
- Tree protection during construction
- Installing lightning protection or support systems
- Removing hazardous trees
- Root zone soil management
What a day looks like for our arborists:
• Adhering to safety standards
• Inspect trees for health problems or potential hazards
• Talk with homeowners regarding their trees
• Climb trees - rigging and lowering large limbs, install support systems, etc
• Assist other climbers in rigging and removing limbs
• Flagging trafficof vehicles and pedestrians
• Limb trees on the ground
• Operate a bucket truck, chipper, stump grinder or other specialized equipment
• Clean up job site
Due to the warmer weather, it is unsafe to prune oak trees. If you missed the window of opportunity fpor pruing your oak tree, please keep this pruning calendar handy so you know when it is safe to prune your trees.
As an arborist and tree climber, we use ropes and knots everyday. It is crucial to have a thorough understanding of many different knots and their applications, as they are used in life support and rigging.
Even though we are located in Spring Lake we do service customers North of us. Today our crew is working in North Muskegon doing pruning and removal work. Please contact our office if you have further questions.

Things to be on the look out for:

I had Get-R-Cut come to my house to do some pruning on Oak trees in my backyard. We had some areas that we had different kinds of plants that were directly under the trees to be pruned that we did not want damaged. Jared and Chris did a great job in avoiding any damage to those areas. Jared did a great job in removing a lot of dead branches and pruning up the trees to providing an idea shape to them. Chris, Jared's helper, did a tremendous job managing things on the ground and constantly removing brush and cutting up branches to move to their chipper.
The clean up process was very well done. I would highly recommend them to others if they need trees pruned or removed. I will be having them return to remove 3 very large trees from our front yard in the near future to get rid of potential problems with them.

They took our two trims, did other trimming and cleaned up well. I am totally satisfied with their work and recommend them. They went beyond expectations.

Get-R-Cut.com is represented in my BNI group by Jared's wife Becky. My 1st experience with Jared was to cut a large tree down in my step son's yard. This tree was hanging over the house & not in very good condition. He came out to evaluate & give an estimate. He then arrived & did the job exactly when he said he would and for a reasonable price. He also removed several stumps in my yard the same day.
Since then we acquire fire wood for our central boiler in which we depend on for heat & hot water for our home and my business.
Thank you Jared & Becky for doing such a great job!
