The Work We Do

Old Soul Arbor Care is an ISA Certified Arborist service based in Lansing, Michigan — built on genuine passion for trees and the properties they call home. From precise ornamental pruning and plant health care to full tree removal, seasonal planting, and landscape maintenance, we handle the full range of tree and property work with the same care and attention regardless of scale. Whether it's a single specimen tree in a backyard or a municipal forestry contract spanning multiple sites, every job gets an expert eye, honest assessment, and the kind of craftsmanship that comes from truly loving the work.

Removal

Tree Removal Sometimes the most responsible thing you can do for a property is take a tree down. We approach every removal carefully, deliberately, and with respect for the tree and everything around it. From the first cut to the final cleanup, you won't know we were there except for the stump.

Tree Trimming

Tree Trimming & Pruning Regular trimming keeps your trees healthy, safe, and looking the way they should. Good trimming isn't about cutting things back — it's about understanding how a tree grows and working with that, not against it. The result is a cleaner, stronger, better-looking tree that will outperform an untrimmed one for years to come.

Ornamental Pruning

Ornamental Pruning This is where tree care becomes something closer to art. Shaping Japanese maples, training flowering crabs, restoring neglected specimen shrubs — every cut is intentional. The goal isn't just a tree that looks good today but one that grows into something genuinely beautiful over time.

Plant health care

Plant Health Care Healthy trees don't happen by accident — they happen because someone is paying attention. We monitor for early signs of pest and disease pressure, evaluate soil health, and apply the right treatments at the right time. Michigan's trees face real threats. We know what to look for.

Tree planting and installation

Tree Planting & Installation Planting a tree is an act of optimism. We match every tree to its site — soil, sun, mature size, and aesthetic — and source healthy specimens through our trusted greenhouse partnership. A tree planted right is a tree that thrives.

Landscaping and property care

Landscaping & Property Care Your trees don't exist in isolation — they're part of a whole property, and that property deserves the same thoughtful attention. Brush control, invasive removal, shrub management, landscape maintenance. Because a great property isn't just one great tree — it's everything working together.
