Our Story

Tree Wizard was founded in 2003 by Chris Haubner, a Columbia native who built the company from the ground up. More than twenty years later, it's still the same family-owned operation — not a franchise, not a corporate rollup.

Chris holds ISA Certified Arborist credential MW-4356A, issued by the International Society of Arboriculture. That credential means every job gets the eye of someone who understands tree structure, disease, and risk — not just someone with equipment. Verify the credential on the ISA directory →
