Who You Will Work With
Electric City Tree Co. is a crew of four based in Great Falls, Montana, and we like it that way. Whoever sizes up your tree is usually on the saw that day, and whoever picks up the phone knows the week's schedule. Not one of us drives in from somewhere else to work here; we live in Cascade County, and most of us grew up in it.
Owner & Climber
Cole was raised on a ranch outside Belt and spent four seasons on a utility line-clearance crew across Cascade and Chouteau counties, plus three winters of storm cleanup, working under energized lines through chinook wind and January cold, before starting the company in 2015 with a bucket truck, a chipper and a stump grinder. He still lives in Great Falls, still climbs, still handles the technical takedowns beside houses and service drops, and still looks at most jobs himself before they go on the calendar.
Estimates & Scheduling
Tessa is usually the first voice you hear when you call. She sets up the estimate visit, gets the written price to you, asks the questions that tell us whether your tree is on the boulevard and needs a Park and Recreation application before anyone can touch it, and keeps the calendar straight after a windstorm, when the phone rings faster than the crew can get to the jobs. Ask her when the truck is coming; she will know.
Crew Lead & Equipment
Ramon runs the equipment: the bucket truck, the chipper, the stump grinder, and the clearing gear on shelterbelt and benchland jobs. On a removal near a structure he sets the rigging and works the ground while Cole or Dylan is in the tree, and he is the reason the yard is clean when the truck pulls out.
Climber / Groundman
Dylan climbs the trees the bucket cannot reach, like the big cottonwoods in the back corner of an older Great Falls lot or the spruce and willow standing along the Sun River behind a ranch house, and works the ground on everything else: rope work, sectioning trunks, feeding the chipper, and hauling brush.
We are always open to meeting good central Montana tree-care talent.
