Jesse Belter

ISA Certified Arborist #MN-4468A

B.S. Environmental Horticulture, U of M

Hello, my name is Jesse Belter. My love for plants was cultivated at an early age on our family farm, but it was at the University of Minnesota that I realized I wanted to specialize in trees.

I started at Rainbow Treecare as an intern in 2010. After graduation from the U of M, I returned to Rainbow as a technical arborist specializing in plant health care and pruning. This has given me a well-rounded understanding of the depth of services Rainbow provides. I am now a consulting arborist, and I love what I do.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping to protect your beautiful trees and landscape.

Great experience working with Rainbow Tree Care. The City of Woodbury contracted with Rainbow to offer Woodbury residents a discount on treating ash trees for the Emerald Ash Borer. Good choice! "Charles," the arborist, originally came out and looked at all the trees because we were also interested in some trimming. Such a nice guy and he really knew his trees. We received a quote within one day, detailed as to exactly what they would be doing and a map of our yard with the exact trees that would be worked on. The office at Rainbow kept in touch, letting us know about when we would be scheduled, and then a specific date and time. The crew came out and trimmed our trees. Great guys! Then a crew came out and picked up all the branches with a special machine. Lastly, we were informed that the technician to treat the ash trees would be out in the next few days, which also happened. Every aspect of working with Rainbow Tree Care was pleasant. The prices were reasonable and we really appreciated the City of Woodbury recommending such a great company. We will continue to call them for any lawn needs we have, and have already recommended them to others in the community.

Professional tree surgeon came out and inoculated our tree and left detailed documentation. Price seemed fair and now we have a safe ash tree!

Rainbow is the best. Dan Bird replied right after a storm blew down a huge spruce. You can see the tree fell just past my neighbor's chimney. It took out large lilac bushes, too. Rainbow marked my utility lines before grinding the stump. (Other companies regularly omit this step.) We cut back the lilac, which will grow back, and laid sod. Thanks to Rainbow for quickly and professionally clearing out the mess for a reasonable fee!!!

We had to have a tree removed over a sprinkler system. The worker did an excellent job of carefully removing the stump to not disturb or damage the pvc pipe. We are very happy with how this went.

Stump grinding work done today at my house. Excellent job! Exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this very competent crew. Good communicators; they are very careful with surrounding plants; extremely polite. Did a thorough job of cleaning up after the work was done. Their prices are very competitive and, in fact, was the lowest bid I had for the work. Great value for the cost. THANKS

I had the BEST experience with them! I would definitely recommend them. Their team was knowledgeable, very professional and friendly and did a wonderful job with trimming our tree. My mother used them for trimming and also they put up lights in her tree for the holidays and recommended them and I'm glad she did!!!

Been very pleased with all the services I have received from Rainbow Treecare. THey have been treating my Crabapple tree for years and it is healthier than ever. The same goes for my Spruce tree. Just had Paul and Dale out to plant a maple and an oak and they did an excellent job and took their time planting and explaining how to care for my new trees.

I've never experienced such a high caliber of work ethic through and through from a service company. From the office to the field (my house!), the staff and superior service at Rainbow are second to none. Their pricing is very fair, but to know you've hired true professionals is priceless. Thank you, again, for your service!

Rainbow Treecare did an outstanding job for me recently in taking care of a tree in my back yard that had split and dropped half of the treetop into my yard and onto my neighbor's power, phone and cable lines. Once Xcel Energy had removed branches that touched the electric lines, Rainbow made a point of getting out to take care of all the rest of the damage right away. My tree and yard posed interesting, almost overwhelming, challenges, both in terms of working around all the wires involved, ease of access, and disposing of all debris after trimming the tree as much as it needed. Kudos to the arborist, Russell Kennedy, who worked diligently with me to make this all happen and to the crew, who worked very hard and very creatively to take care of all the obstacles presented by this project. Work was all done well with no additional damage to my or the neighbor's property and everything was cleaned up the way I wanted before they left. Very happy to work with a company and crews that are so responsive, helpful and devoted to providing excellent service. Will definitely use them again for other work.

They were awesome. Our arborist, Sarah Burgess, is super knowledgable, patient and understanding. She gave us lots of insights about our (very small) forest area, and the Minnetonka area in general as it relates to trees. She gave us the knowledge and confidence to think about trees long term. We also had a budget to work within and she helped us figure out the best approach. The team that came to do the work was polite, happy to explain their approach, and left the yard better than they found it. We'll be bringing Rainbow back for future trimming, disease prevention and removals.

Reggie did a fantastic job on the stump removal. Very careful about his work and made sure the clean up was perfect. It is so nice to see someone care about doing a good job!

The Rainbow crew did an excellent job cleaning up our yard. Since we had a black walnut tree go down, we invited an older gentleman who was interested in wood turning come over; the crew went out of their way to help him load several pieces of the trunk into his car. We will gladly use this company again.

I asked Rainbow to prune a Crabtree that I had in my backyard. First they had an arborist visit and look at what I had and get my feedback for what I was looking for in the pruning. The crew arrived today with "Q" taking the lead. there were 2 others, I think one of their names was Trent. These were wonderful, customer oriented tree trimming professionals. who did a fabulous job and my tree is beautiful. thank you Rainbow!!

Wonderful service! Our tree looks beautiful, it’s niceto have professionals do such a hard job in such cold temperatures. A very polite three person team started at 8 in the morning at a freezing 1° above zero. I certainly would never of done that, so kudos to your team, everything was all cleaned up and taken away in three hours. I highly recommend your company to everyone needing tree care pruning services.

Charles Kastern , an arborist for Rainbow Treecare, offered a combination of astute tree knowledge and a sincere caring and compassion about our property and us as customers . We were facing both root and pest issues with our 11 spruce trees. Our trees were an investment due to how large and mature they were at planting and very important to us to provide us privacy. The trees had been planted to deeply by the builder’s landscaping company and the issue was the roots were not thriving and lower branches were growing into the soil. We also had a new tree mite issue this past year that further compromise the health of our trees . Charles offered a solid plan for all the issuers at a reasonable cost . Due to our crazy summer schedule we had to reschedule service twice and he was more then flexible with phone calls back to us and rescheduling with his team conducting the service . I honestly felt as though we were family to him regarding how much he cared. We would highly recommend Charles Kastern and Rainbow Tree care for any of your tree related issues . They have been amazing and our trees are looking great .

We contracted with Rainbow to consult with us about our trees. Nick Kantola, one of their arborist, came to our home and provided recommendations. We were impressed with his expertise. He took the time to respond to all of our questions and advised us on how we could do some of the work. He also made several recommendations on what Rainbow could do for us along with the costs. We accepted all of his recommendations.A team from Rainbow came to our home today to complete all of their accepted recommendations for trimming our trees. We were highly impressed with the work that Andrew, Joseph, and John did. They were both professional and knowledgeable. The trees look much better now. This team also did a terrific job of cleaning up all the branches and leaves from our yard. We definitely recommend Rainbow Tree Care to others!

Second time using Rainbow Tree to treat our trees. Very satisfied with our service. Tyler was friendly and thorough. We plan to continue to use this company to treat our Ash trees.

We had a crew ( Hannah, Jack, Ally and Jeff, led by Paul) who treated our elm trees to prevent Dutch Elm disease. They arrived on time, wore masks (because of Covid 19), and worked non stop. Paul kept us in the loop each step of the way. You couldn’t ask for better service. We have our elm trees treated, as recommended, every three years. Rainbow crews are always a pleasure to work with.

We had a dead Rowan tree in our front yard and scheduled a removal and stump grinding. Both teams came and went before we noticed them. The jobs were done and finished with no disruptions.

I've been receiving services from Rainbow Treecare the last few years. Generally it's a little more expensive than average but they’re very professional so definitely “you get what you pay for”. They clean up well when they leave. They also have email reminder and summary report which makes it easy to track. But the last exp erience was less than perfect. I gave them my feedback and they addressed it right away. No arguing/debating, more of a how can we make you a satisfied customer? Which I truly appreciate.

The 3 people who trimmed our trees at our property in Prior Lake today were outstanding! They worked hard and steadily for hours and cleaned up afterward. They arrived wearing masks until they started working in the trees. They left our trees with healthy growth and opening up our view of the lake. THANK YOU!!

Rainbow removed a tree and ground the stump for me. The service and personnel were very professional and efficient. Cleanup was excellent, especially for the grinding (Thank you, Reggie!). There was nothing left on the lawn or street. They even fluffed up the lawn with a blower, where machines had flattened the grass. Excellent!

Very professional crew that took down a large ash tree. They knew what they were doing and did it very well. The damage to the lawn was at a minimum- branch by branch was lowered. Would definitely use Rainbow tree service when needed.
