In this video, Kord Merical, owner and operator of Merical’s Tree Service LLC in Miles City, Montana, shares the story behind his business and the values that guide his work. What began as a simple decision—purchasing a chainsaw after receiving a stipend while working for the Miles City Police Department—quickly grew into a full-time profession built on faith, discipline, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Kord’s background in logging from a young age, along with his service in the United States Marine Corps and the Montana National Guard, has shaped his strong work ethic, attention to detail, and focus on safety.

Merical’s Tree Service specializes in a full range of tree care services, including tree trimming and pruning, tree removal, stump grinding, shrub care, and complete site restoration. Kord emphasizes the importance of knowing when a tree can be saved through proper trimming and treatment, and when removal is the best option for safety and long-term property health. Each job is completed with professional-grade equipment and a commitment to leaving the property clean, level, and natural-looking—often with topsoil and grass seeded so it appears as though the tree was never there.

Serving Miles City and the surrounding Custer County area, Merical’s Tree Service has built a reputation for reliability, professionalism, and quality workmanship. Kord approaches every project with the goal of helping property owners maintain safe, attractive landscapes while providing honest recommendations and dependable service. Whether it’s routine trimming, hazardous tree removal, or full site restoration, customers can expect careful attention and results they can trust.
