About Us
I, Jason Pruett, am a career dedicated and accomplished arborist, teacher, advisor, friend, outdoorsmen, and seeker of Truth (1 John 4:19). I have a proven reputation for maintaining and improving tree health and landscapes. I implement researched and effective tree maintenance strategies, safety practices, and create positive client and business relationships. I am a skilled communicator recognized for building and sustaining non-violent approaches to conflict, growth in community, and a beautiful balance between man and nature. I continue to actively manage and work in most of the trees I'm contracted to care for. 🙂
I believe that working with trees is an avocation and a journey for me, I work with trees because I have been called to caretake these wise and resilient living creatures (Proverbs 3:18-20). This is not a job, but a passion realized in the material form that most call a job...I call it a gift from the heart. My avocation is not an easy “job” and it can be dangerous, unpredictable, and difficult to work with the elements of nature and creation.
Treehugger Tree Care, Inc. collaborates with professionals in the arboriculture industry to provide the best service, craftsmanship, and care for Minneapolis/ St. Paul metro area clients and trees. With a deep well of knowledge and experience, we work well together and enjoy the work that we do. We believe that trees are our teachers and are full of wisdom and hope. Trees are givers of life, energy, shade, friendships, homes, and food. Treehugger aims to work with, preserve, and caretake our tall friends (and our not so tall ones).
High quality, precision, and experience is what to expect when Treehugger tends to your trees. We value doing the right thing to trees at the right time. We offer holistic services including minor touch up pruning, massive removals of large dying trees, and treatments administered to both the trunk and soil of a tree to combat and help trees cope with a full range of environmental and site conditions.
Jason lives in Brooklyn Park with his loving and supportive wife, twin boys, and daughter on an permaculture urban farm. He likes to spend his free time relaxing by the fire, hiking with friends, trips to the BWCAW, and spending time with family in Rochester.
GREG KUHL
Greg is Jason's "Right Hand Man." Literally. Jason is left handed and Greg is right handed. Jason could just not do it without Greg's help! Greg fields most of Treehugger's calls, organizes the office, runs errands, and takes good care of Treehugger's Ash and Oak inventory. Greg was given the nickname "EAB Assassin" for all the ashes he has saved in a over a decade of working with Treehugger.
On the weekends you will find Greg hanging out in his "man cave," tending to his lovely gardens, caring for his pets, and working with his lovely Bride, Staci with a homeless ministry named "In Love, Word, and Deed."
1 John 3:18: "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
