These guys were quick to respond to my inquiry, gentle on my pocket, and did a fantastic job! I really appreciated how I was walked through what would be the best kind of trimming for my trees and what kind of trimming could be harmful for the trees during the quote. I highly recommend this team! Thanks again for taking care of my trees!

Josh and team are great! We had JT Tree Service out in the fall after moving into a new home to remove 4 small trees, grind down 2 large stumps, and trim a tree that had branches touching the roof of the house. We had them back out this week to trim the remaining trees on the property. Both times I’ve reached out…

I woke up on Tue Apr 28 to find a 50 foot tree uprooted and leaning against my house, making creaking noises and threatening to crash through the roof and siding. I made sure my family was safe, moved what I could out of the way, and called around for tree service references. I called three different places to see who could make it out quickly, I got two answering services but Josh answered the phone. Josh was already on another job but said he could finish there and would come out to my house next. He was there within 30 minutes, assessed my precarious situation, lined up a crane, and his crew secured the tree to limit any subsequent damage. The spectacle attracted the attention of my neighbors, who were interested in what was happening & how it would be dealt with. The crew snapped into action, utilizing all the requisite protective gear & safety protocols. Less than four hours later the tree was completely gone, there was minimal damage. Josh and his company are true professionals, available at a time when trust and urgency were of the utmost importance. No doubt I will be calling JT Tree Service for any future tree work.

We had them back out this week to trim the remaining trees on the property. Both times I’ve reached out for an estimate, Josh has made it out to our property the same day. I’ve been impressed by how quickly the team was able to get everything done and how clean they left the property on both occasions. I’ll continue to recommend them and use them for our future tree needs.

JT’s Tree Service did an excellent job start to finish! Owner came to assess job and provided a timely quote for services. Quote was very reasonable for the size and complexity of the job. Great communication throughout and arrived as scheduled. Crew was very professional and had all safety gear needed to do the job safely. Crew did a great job cleaning up work area when finished. Impressed with this company and would highly recommend if your in the need for these services.
