One such article, Storm Prep: At a Moment’s Notice, Is Your Fleet “Good to Go?” reminded us to walk through our company’s preparedness as we enter the Michigan winter and ice storm season.

As a tree care professional, having our equipment and personnel prepared is only one aspect of our job. The other is to ensure your property is prepared to avoid any potential damage or accidents from sick, dying or aging trees. At J’s, we want to avoid tragic mishaps like the one that occurred in July of 2013 when a woman, who was walking her dog in a Minnesota park, was killed when a large branch fell on her.

In Michigan, where there is 11.9 million acres of forest land owned by families or corporation or other private groups, there are many threats to our trees

  • Invasive insects such as the bright-green emerald ash borer or the Asian longhorned beetle
  • Diseases such as Oak Wilt or Beech Bark disease

Have a tree care professional provide a consultation today, don’t wait until it’s too late.
