Meet Shawn Kuiper

Owner. Manager. ISA Certified Arborist.

Shawn started Kuiper Vegetation Management in 2005 as a small local tree care operation. The work grew into utility clearing, forestry mowing, storm response and wood waste management. The principle stays simple: understand the site and leave it in better shape.

From the beginning, Shawn built the company on three principles:

  • Do the job safely.
  • Do the job the right way.
  • Take care of people and their property.

The team has grown, the equipment has improved and the capabilities have expanded. The values have stayed the same.
