Tree Pruning information

What is a Tree Pruning job?

A Tree Pruning job involves trimming and cutting branches to improve a tree's health, appearance, and safety. This process removes dead or diseased limbs, promotes new growth, and reduces potential hazards. Tree pruning is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the tree and preventing damage to property or people. Professionals use specialized tools and techniques to ensure the best results while preserving the tree’s natural shape and strength.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Tree Pruning position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Tree Pruning, you need solid knowledge of tree species, pruning techniques, and basic arboriculture, often supported by a high school diploma and on-the-job experience; formal certifications like ISA Certified Tree Worker can be advantageous. Competence in using hand saws, loppers, chainsaws, climbing gear, and sometimes aerial lifts is typically expected. Attention to detail, safety awareness, teamwork, and strong communication help you excel in this physically demanding role. These skills ensure both the safety of personnel and the health and proper maintenance of trees, which are essential for client satisfaction and environmental stewardship.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in tree pruning?

A typical day for a tree pruning professional involves assessing the health and structure of trees, determining which limbs need to be cut for safety, aesthetics, or tree health, and using various hand and power tools to perform precise cuts. You may work on both residential and commercial properties, often collaborating with a team of arborists or groundskeepers to ensure that all tasks are completed safely and efficiently. The job is physically active and usually outdoors, so being comfortable working in different weather conditions is important. Additionally, safety briefings, equipment checks, and cleaning up debris are routine parts of the daily workflow.

Barnes, Inc. is looking for a Climbing Arborist to join our Tree Pruning & Removal Division in Madison, WI. This is a hands-on, outdoor role for someone who likes physical work, problem-solving, teamwork, and the satisfaction of seeing a job done right.

At Barnes, you are not just an employee - you have the opportunity to become an employee-owner through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan, also known as an ESOP. That means your work helps build the value of a company that gives back to the people who help make it successful. Barnes' ESOP provides eligible team members with a beneficial ownership stake in the company at no cost to the employee.

What You'll Do

As a Climbing Arborist, you will help safely prune, maintain, and remove trees using climbing and rigging techniques, aerial lifts, chainsaws, hand tools, chippers, stump grinders, and other tree care equipment. Work is generally performed outdoors and often above ground in the tree canopy.

You will be part of a crew that takes pride in safe work, clean job sites, and high-quality service for our customers.

Climbing trees using ropes, saddles, and related equipment
Pruning or removing trees and branches safely
Assisting climbers with ropes, tools, lowering branches, and clearing hazards
Operating or assisting with chippers, chainsaws, aerial lifts, skidloaders, trailers, and stump grinders
Cleaning, sharpening, and maintaining tools and equipment
Grinding stumps and restoring job sites
Inspecting trees for health, disease, or pest concerns
Leaving each property cleaner than when the crew arrived

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is dependable, safety-minded, physically capable, and ready to grow in the tree care industry.

Preferred qualifications include:

High school diploma or equivalent
Tree climbing or tree care experience preferred, but we are open to training the right person
Valid Arborist Certification preferred, but not required
Valid Pesticide Applicator License preferred, but not required
Commercial Driver's License preferred, but not required
Ability to lift and move up to 50 lbs. repeatedly throughout the day
Comfort working outdoors in changing weather conditions and at heights

Why Join Barnes?

Barnes, Inc. is an established Madison-area company providing lawn, landscape, tree, and snow removal services. Our handbook identifies Tree Pruning & Removal as one of the company's core divisions, and our mission is to provide high-quality, customer-focused service while creating a professional work environment that supports opportunity, pride, growth, and profitability.

When you join Barnes, you join a team that values:

Pride in the work we do
Integrity with customers and teammates
Reliability on every job site
Growth for the company and each employee-owner

Benefits May Include

Eligible full-time, year-round employees may have access to benefits such as health insurance, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k), ESOP, paid parental leave, volunteer PTO, company-paid life insurance, voluntary term life insurance, and flexible spending accounts. Eligibility varies by benefit and employment status.

Ready to Grow With Us?

Bring your work ethic, your willingness to learn, and your commitment to safety. We will give you the opportunity to build a career, grow your skills, and contribute to a company where ownership matters.
