When you see a Cartwright Tree Care crew in action, you’ll notice something right away — precision, teamwork, and safety in every move.
That’s no accident.
Tree care is one of the most dangerous professions in the world. Between heights, heavy equipment, unpredictable weather, and complex rigging, every job demands experience, focus, and the right training. That’s why at Cartwright Tree Care, safety isn’t a checkbox — it’s our culture.
We’re proud to be a fully insured, safety-certified tree care company with over 26 years of safety + professionalism. Our team follows industry-leading standards that protect not only our crew, but also your home, property, and peace of mind.
Tree work isn’t just about chainsaws and ropes — it’s about physics, biology, and risk management. One wrong cut or misjudged angle can cause thousands of dollars in property damage or serious injury.
That’s why every Cartwright crew member goes through extensive safety training before ever setting foot on your property. We adhere to strict safety protocols set by organizations like:
The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)
The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA)
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
Our arborists and climbers are trained to evaluate every job site for hazards — from power lines and soil conditions to structural weaknesses in the tree itself. Before the first branch is cut, we’ve already created a complete safety plan tailored to your property.
Because when it comes to tree care, cutting corners is never an option.
We don’t just talk about safety — we’re recognized for it.
Over the years, Cartwright Tree Care has earned multiple industry awards and acknowledgments for our consistent safety practices. These awards reflect our team’s dedication to excellence in every aspect of our work — from technical climbing to on-the-ground support and client communication.
Our approach is simple: train hard, work smart, and always put people first.
Every year, our crew participates in advanced safety workshops and continuing education programs covering topics like:
Rigging and rope system safety
Electrical hazard awareness
Aerial lift operation
Chainsaw safety and maintenance
Emergency response and first aid
We believe that knowledge saves lives — and our ongoing investment in training ensures that every Cartwright employee goes home safe at the end of the day.
Hiring a tree care company shouldn’t come with worry. Unfortunately, not every company operates with the right insurance coverage or certifications — and homeowners often find out the hard way when something goes wrong.
When you hire Cartwright Tree Care, you can rest easy knowing we carry:
Full liability insurance to protect your property
Workers’ compensation insurance for all crew members
Comprehensive equipment coverage for every vehicle and tool we use
It’s all part of our promise to handle every job responsibly, transparently, and professionally.
We believe safety goes beyond helmets and harnesses — it extends to how we treat your property and the environment.
Our crews take care to minimize impact to lawns, driveways, and landscaping. We use specialized equipment designed to reduce ground compaction and protect root systems. And we’re proud to recycle or repurpose the wood and debris we remove — turning it into mulch, compost, or lumber whenever possible.
Because protecting your trees also means protecting the ecosystem they support.
For more than 25 years, homeowners, businesses, and municipalities across Kansas City, Overland Park, Lee’s Summit, Liberty, and Raymore have trusted Cartwright Tree Care to deliver safe, honest, and exceptional service.
Our team shows up on time, communicates clearly, and treats every property as if it were our own. From large-scale removals to delicate pruning jobs, our safety-first approach ensures that the work is done right — and done safely.
When you see our crew in those bright helmets and reflective vests, you’re seeing a team that takes pride in doing things the right way — every single time.
Your trees are an investment — and they deserve care that’s both skilled and secure.
When you hire Cartwright Tree Care, you’re not just hiring a team with 26+ years of experience — you’re choosing a company that’s fully insured, safety-certified, and award-winning in every sense of the word.
