A Cut Above Tree Service & Timber Harvesting

About A Cut Above Tree Service & Timber Harvesting

A Cut Above Tree Service & Timber Harvesting is a small tree service and timber business in Hart, Michigan, run by owner and operator Ricky Hovey. The family has been in both tree service and logging for more than 40 years, and the business works in Oceana County. For timber, it buys standing timber, does select cutting on hardwood, and offers forest management. Its minimum is 6 acres: "Buyer of standing timber, minimum of 6 acres or more." The species it lists is all hardwood. Harvesting uses a skidder, forwarder, slasher, self-loader, and buncher. Every job starts with a free walk-through, tree selecting and marking, and an estimate. Off the timber side, it does tree removal, tree trimming, lot clearing, and stump grinding. It also sells firewood bolts, both dry and green, plus boiler wood, all hardwood and cut to length. Lot clearing takes a loader, skid-steer, and chipper, and stump grinding uses a machine that fits a 36-inch entryway. The business also says there is "no job too big or too small that we can't tackle." It suits a landowner with at least 6 acres of hardwood who wants one outfit to walk the timber, mark the trees to cut, and do the logging. From hovey40.wixsite.com, read 12 November 2026.
