Family Trees
Ostvig Tree Care is a familyowned company, founded in 1933 by Marty Ostvig. Since its founding, the company has been owned and operated by the Ostvig family. Currently, Jim Ostvig owns and operates the company. The only thing that the family values more than trees is its clients and their loyalty to the company. Through proactive customer service and quality assurance measures, Ostvig Tree Care has managed to stay not only competitive but also active in growing its business for decades.
Marty originally worked in the Finger Lakes area of upstate New York during the 1920s. Learning during his time there and gaining a love for the craft, he returned to his home state of Minnesota and started Ostvig Tree Care, which is now the oldest tree service company in the state. Marty received help from the Dayton family— founders of Target and designers of the first indoor mall— when his business was first getting off the ground. The Dayton family invested in Marty, helped him get his business up and running, and have been clients ever since. Ostvig Tree Care operates in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota.
