About
If a tree needs to be climbed the client can rest assured that I am following the proper safety standards but also that I am using equipment that is healthy for their tree. For example, some tree companies use spikes to climb healthy tree thus damaging the bark and underlying vascular tissue. The ISA code of ethics dictates that healthy trees should never be spiked but should rather be climbed using ropes. Rather than top a clients tree, I take the time to educate them to the dangers of topping and offer them options. I also believe in providing a thorough cleanup and respecting clients and their property. My goal for each cleanup is for not one leaf or stick to be left. Also, I make sure clients know when I am coming to their property and I take the time to work carefully to eliminate damage to property
. It is very satisfying to provide clients with the information they need to make informed decisions and then to put those decisions into action. It?s easy to simply tell a client what needs to be done but it is something very different to educate them as to why. The hard work, which is a reality of this business, is worth it when I can stand back after a long days work and see healthy and beautiful trees. Additionally, I truly love being outdoors and working with trees, not only caring for them, but spending time climbing throughout the canopy. Not many people get to see the world from the top of a 90 foot ash tree or get the chance to appreciate how massive an ancient oak tree truly is. Also, it doesn?t hurt to get all the exercise I can handle while on the job!

I needed a mature, mulberry tree with invasive roots to be removed and roots grinded. Also several liquid amber tree limbs to be trimmed back and cut. Also several large, old stumps to be grinded down. J Mercado and team successfully did the job with a reasonable price.
Thank you!!

John and his crew did a fantastic job removing one dead tree and trimming and cleaning up two other trees that have never been professionally trimmed. The trees look great now. They stump grinded the removed tree.
They cleaned up all the trimmings and the dead tree.
I was a bit reluctant at first going with the lowest bid but very pleased with their work.
John communicated very well. They actually got the job done a day early.
I will certainly call John back next time I need my trees trimmed.

John and his team are very professional and friendly. They showed up on time, were very responsive by text and through Thumbtack, and gave me a competitive price on the removal of a 60 foot Liquidambar tree. They worked fast and even did a great job with the cleanup. I'd definitely use John and his team again for future tree trimming/removal needs.

I have a large tree that needed trimming and mistletoe removed. John and his crew arrived early due to a last-minute cancellation near my town. And that was fine with me - John gave me the option to do it now or next week if it was inconvenient.
All the workers were very courteous and professional. John's 4-man crew worked like a finely tuned machine. Each guy had one main responsibility and that helped everything get done quickly. Like I said, I have a 40-foot tree on the street curb that has been neglected since I bought the house 3 years ago. I was not prepared for the amount of trimming that needed to be done, but after four hours of cutting, sawing, loading and cleaning up, it looked great. And the driveway and curbside were also neatly swept. I am very happy with the results.

Excellent service! I received a very quick quote from them after I had sent them a picture of our palm tree that we needed trimmed. I booked them to then come out the following week. They showed up on time and were very professional. I am very happy with the service they provided. Not only did they do a stellar job at trimming back the 50 foot palm - they also were very tidy in their clean up. We were so happy with their service that we had them back the next day to remove some trees in our back yard. Very nice & professional crew!
