Founded in 2020 by Matt and Kristen Cole, Trees Cut Right is a third-generation, family-owned tree service based in Prior Lake, MN.
Matt grew up in the tree industry, learning to climb and care for trees alongside his father, Kurt — the founder of Cole Cuts Portable Sawmill, a local custom wood-milling business started in 1991. Over the years, Matt developed the hands-on expertise and work ethic that now define Trees Cut Right.
Today, Matt brings that same level of craftsmanship and care to every tree he trims or removes. As a professional climber, he can safely access difficult areas where heavy machinery isn’t an option — a big advantage for properties with tight spaces or delicate landscapes.
In addition to traditional tree services, Trees Cut Right offers something truly unique — the ability to mill and repurpose wood through their family’s sawmill, Cole Cuts Portable Sawmill. For homeowners who want to preserve a meaningful tree, the wood can be milled into usable lumber that becomes something special: a custom table, a fireplace mantle, shelving, or a keepsake piece that can be enjoyed for generations.
When you call Trees Cut Right, you speak directly with Matt — the owner, estimator, and climber behind every job. There’s no franchise, no subcontractor, and no runaround. Just a local family who takes pride in their work, communicates clearly, and treats every customer the way they would want to be treated.
Trees Cut Right provides safe, affordable, and efficient tree care for homeowners throughout Prior Lake, Savage, Shakopee, and the South Metro. Whether you need a large tree removed or a simple stump ground out, we get it done quickly and safely.





"Matt and his team did an outstanding job removing a hazardous tree from our property and thoroughly cleaning up afterward. They were able to fit us into their busy schedule and remove the tree before an approaching storm, all at a fair price. Highly recommended!"
