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:

Jared and his Team at Get-R-Cut did an excellent job removing two trees in our back yard and trimming 4 large oaks we had in our front yard. I have worked with Jared on other projects in the past and I will continue to call on Jared for future projects.

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!
