  Haven Business Spotlight - April 2026  Our Team - Owners, Marcus and Jami Richardson, are both Kansas Arborist Association (KAA) certified arborists. Marcus has owned and operated the tree service since 2013, with many years of experience prior to ownership. Jami has a Master of Science degree in forestry and has worked in community forestry and education for over ten years. We make it a point to hire and train people who are willing to learn great tree care and who will respect our customers, their safety, and their trees. Our foreman, Tom, has over 30 years of experience in botany and natural resources. He graduated from the KAA Arborist Training Course last year and is on track to become a KAA certified arborist as well. Our groundie, Trey, is in high school but will attend the arborist training course this fall as a special project. Continued education is important to us to make sure our crew, customers, and trees stay safe and happy. Where can we find you online? Facebook : facebook.com/richardsontreesvc Email : richardsontreesvc@gmail.com Website : richardsontreesvc.com What inspires your work and what sets you apart from everyone else? We enjoy providing quality tree care for our customers, always trying our best to exceed their expectations. We don't do "minimal". Marcus is a very talented arborist and can prune trees to make them safe and healthy, protecting your people and property for many years. We advocate for the trees and suggest removals only when hazardous. We will not break our code of ethics or credentials by making bad pruning cuts or leaving jobs half finished, creating hazardous conditions for our customers or the trees themselves. We are always available to help educate our customers and can connect them to resources beyond ourselves to receive the most updated and relevant information possible.
We do what is best for the trees.
We consider repeat customers and referrals to be our biggest success. Our biggest honor has been partnering with the City of Haven tree board to make our community (street and park) trees safer and healthier, creating a more beautiful place to live.
We really enjoy working in our hometown of Haven. We often rely on word-of-mouth marketing and are always honored to have repeat customers. Our biggest marketing event in Haven is participating in the annual Haven Fall Festival where we conclude the parade with a ping pong ball drop and prizes for all kids, a bicycle giveaway, and a community tree giveaway. It's always fun to talk trees with our friends and neighbors and even better to watch those who have removed trees carefully select a new tree to replace their losses. We also enjoy giving back to the community by shopping in Haven, fueling our large trucks, supporting local restaurants, and donating to the schools' sports, FFA club, and apiary.
What’s your best advice for someone who wants to start their own business? Make manageable choices to grow your business and always follow through with the promises you to make. Focus on learning your trade as thoroughly as you can-- never stop learning. Take small steps to invest in and upgrade equipment and make sure you have a plan for managing it. Charge reasonably for your work and always strive to do the best job possible for your customers, your company, and yourself.
