MBI
Our Story
MBI Tree Service was founded with a clear purpose: to deliver dependable, safety- driven vegetation management services that protect critical infrastructure and support the communities our customers serve. Built by founders with deep, hands-on experience in arboriculture and vegetation management, MBI was established on the belief that quality work, accountability, and trust are earned in the field project by project.
From its early beginnings as a local tree service company, MBI has grown into a regional vegetation management partner supporting electric utilities, cooperatives, public agencies, and commercial operators. That growth has been guided by the founders' commitment to disciplined execution, transparent communication, and doing the job right the first time. As our footprint has expanded across the Midwest, South, and East Coast, those founding principles continue to shape how we operate today.
Our Mission & Values
Our mission is simple: deliver safe, reliable, and professional vegetation management services that help our customers maintain system reliability, manage risk, and protect critical assets. Whether performing planned right-of-way maintenance or mobilizing crews for emergency storm response, MBI approaches every project with preparation, accountability, and a strong safety mindset.
Diversity & Inclusion
MBI is proudly certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE). These certifications provide meaningful value to our customers by supporting supplier diversity objectives while delivering the same high standards of safety, performance, and reliability expected of a trusted vegetation management partner. For utilities, cooperatives, and public agencies, working with MBI helps meet diversity goals without compromising operational excellence or project outcomes.
Why MBI?
Our teams operate across utility, transportation, commercial, and storm response environments, providing right-of-way services, utility line management, storm restoration, and specialty vegetation solutions. Backed by experienced leadership, modern equipment, and proven field processes, MBI is built to scale while maintaining consistency in quality, safety, and performance.
Our Guiding Principles
Safety and training are foundational to our culture. We believe safety is not a program, but a mindset that guides decisions at every level of the organization. Through clear standards, ongoing training, and continuous improvement, we work to ensure every employee returns home safely and every project is executed responsibly. As MBI continues to grow, our focus remains on being a trusted, long-term partner—one that utilities, cooperatives, public agencies, and commercial clients can rely on before, during, and after the storm. We take pride in supporting the infrastructure that powers communities and keeps them connected, and we remain committed to building relationships grounded in performance, safety, and trust.
