Andy Ott - Owner/Foreman

Origins

​

Hello!  I'm Andy Ott, owner & operator of SSPI Solutions. I was born and raised in Waverly, Iowa and grew up in the construction business doing all facets of carpentry.  Simon Sez Powerhouse Incorporated (SSPI Solutions), was created in the spring of 2003, in an effort to keep up with the growing need of installers to conduct retail store installations throughout the midwest.  The company originally focused on sign and lighting maintenance, including retrofitting and LED installations, as well as rollout installations - everything from vinyl graphics, to store fixtures, and construction projects. Eventually we focused primarily on Sign Maintenance work, cleaning and maintaining mostly car dealership pole signs across 23 states.  As times changed, the company evolved, and we added local Tree Services to our offerings.  This eventually led to letting go of Sign Maintenance all together, so we could focus on our 'roots' back home and service our local community.

​

SSPI’s TREE SERVICES budded in the spring of 2018, after seeing an opportunity with the rise of the emerald ash borer.  With the appropriate equipment on hand, we decided to provide local residential and commercial customers with Tree & Stump Removal, Brush & Stump Mulching, and Firewood & Mulch Sales. ​ 

 

My extended family and I have helped manage some family timber land for years, with a passion for wildlife and habitat improvement, in an effort to provide a lasting opportunity to hunt, fish, and enjoy the outdoors for generations to come.  We've worked together on  family’s ground by clearing out areas to plant food plots and by clearing paths through overgrown underbrush for ATV’s and UTV’s.  Experience and specialty equipment continued to expand, so did the opportunity to work with other landowners and farmers, as well as USDA/NRCS representatives. This organically lead to SSPI Solutions offering FORESTRY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, including: Timber Stand Improvement (Invasive Species Removal, Brush Management, Crop Tree Release), Selective Land Clearing (Clear out Waterways, Clear out Fence Lines, Push Back Forest Lines, Trail Clearing), and CRP Management.  ​

​

With strong roots and innovative solutions, who knows where SSPI Solutions will branch out to next!
