About Urban Loggers LLC
Brian Smith — Greater Milwaukee’s tree service craftsman
The Urban Loggers Story
Brian Smith didn’t fall into tree work — he grew up in it. Raised around Greater Milwaukee, Brian spent his teens climbing trees and working alongside seasoned arborists who taught him that a tree is a living system, not just a liability. That perspective has guided every job he’s taken on for over 20 years.
More Than Just Removal
Most tree services see a dead tree and reach for a chainsaw. Brian sees an opportunity. Urban Loggers LLC is one of the few Milwaukee-area companies that brings a portable sawmill to every applicable job — milling felled hardwoods into live-edge slabs, dimensional lumber, and custom beams that clients actually want to keep. It’s sustainable, it’s beautiful, and it turns a painful loss into something meaningful.
Orchard & Specialty Pruning
Brian has a particular passion for orchard work and specialty pruning — the kind of careful, species-specific shaping that keeps fruit trees productive and mature ornamentals structurally sound for decades. It’s slower, more thoughtful work than bulk tree removal, and Brian wouldn’t have it any other way.
