“So, we are a small tree company.
I'm an arborist. I've been an arborist primarily for 10 years or more now. Always with a passion for, not seeing things go to waste after we bring trees to the ground. So, 90% of our work is pruning and removal, and general tree assessment. Providing people with guidance as far as caring for their trees and their properties.”
- Kevin Donner
Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by Kevin Donner, owner of Treesmith USA.
Kevin has worked mainly as an arborist for the past ten years. He is constantly driven by a desire to prevent things from being wasted once they have felled trees. Pruning, removal, and general tree evaluation make up 90% of their job, which involves advising clients on how to take care of their trees and property.
In this episode, Kevin talks about the moment he realized he could run his own business, the difficult lesson he learned the hard way when he first got going, and the key pieces of equipment he bought that helped him get started.
It all began as a hobby, as per Kevin. Word gets around, and guys just start hitting him up. And for him, it feels right that he is turning materials into usable ones, as it's difficult for an existing tree company to incorporate that because it's relatively new in the market.
