Tree Service
Our comprehensive tree services include trimming, pruning, and removal for residential and commercial properties. Using industry-standard equipment and techniques, we ensure safe and efficient maintenance of your trees while enhancing property aesthetics. With over 50 years of experience, our certified arborists provide expert care for trees of all sizes and species.
Storm Cleanup
We specialize in urgent storm damage recovery, removing fallen trees from structures and clearing debris promptly. Our team works with insurance companies to streamline claims while restoring your property safely. Available 24/7 during severe weather events, we prioritize hazardous situations first to minimize further damage.
Tree Crane Service
For difficult-to-reach trees near buildings or power lines, our crane-assisted removal ensures safe extraction without property damage. This method allows precise control when dismantling large or unstable trees in confined spaces. Our experienced operators have performed hundreds of complex removals since 1972.
Stump Grinding
We eliminate unsightly stumps using professional grinding equipment, reducing them 6-8 inches below ground level. Surface roots are also removed to create smooth landscapes. Optional hole restoration includes debris removal, dirt filling, and grass seeding for complete yard rejuvenation.
Firewood Supply
We provide seasoned hardwood and mixed wood firewood in various quantities, from single racks to full truckloads. Available for pickup or delivery, our firewood is properly dried for efficient burning. Custom pricing options include thrown or stacked loads with extended winter hours for customer convenience.

The group of guys are always nice. They are upfront with everything that needs to happen to safely remove your tree. They are quick and do a great job of clean up. Even in a small neighborhood they make it work and do their best to not disturb traffic for the neighbors. We have used them for years and every time there is nothing bad to say. Thank you John's tree service for taking care of our family and being so amazing!!

We've used them a couple of times now and I've always been impressed with their knowledge and skill. I've used other tree services that have left my trees looking rough when they left, but John's Tree Service leaves then better than when they arrived
