JTS likes to use the Cobra cable sytems instead of steel.  I have attached a link to Cobra brochure that explains the system.  Please enjoy!

Hello!

I wanted to write this post to hopefully help, you the customer make a decision and hire us.  My brother, David and I run a small business.  We are on site at every job completed.  We take great pride in our reputation and our name.  Being a small business,our reputation is our lifeline.  It is extremely important to us that our customers feel they have spent their money wisely and fairly.  JTS has been a member of both Angie’s List and the BBB.  We strongly suggest contacting these companies and research Joseph Tree Service.  Angie’s List allows their customers to post as the customers feel is appropriate.  My brother and I can do nothing to alter what is posted.  These posts are a very honest third party opinion of a business and/ or work completed.  I encourage you to read what our customers have written about our business.  We are very proud of our “A” rating and what our customers have said!

The BBB is an organization that has been around for a long time.  Businesses must be invited to be a business member of their organization.  The BBB is a mediator between the customer and the business hired.  The purposed of this relationship is to help resolve disputes between customers and businesses.  If a disputes arises, the results are posted.  Thus a customer can see how many inquires have been made against the business and how many have been resolved to satisfaction.  If a business is not upstanding and not resolving issues their membership is revoked from the BBB.  This allows the public to feel confident in the businesses that have memberships to the BBB.

Please use these resources to help you make your decision on the company you plan to hire to complete your tree work.  We hope we get your business!!

I wanted to write a quick post about worker’s comp.  As a homeowner, it is very important that you see or check the Ohio BWC website to ensure the company that you plan to hire has workers compensation.  If you do not confirm that the policy is active you are assuming the risk of an injured worker on your property.  I have attached a link to Ohio BWC website,  https://www.ohiobwc.com/provider/services/mcolookup/nlbwc/default.asp.  All you have to do is type in the business name, Joseph Tree Service LLC, and press enter.  The result will state some information about the company and its coverage status.

Estimating is a very challenging aspect of our business.  We try hard to calculate the time and skill needed to complete the work you require.  Using our experience, knowledge of tree work, and our business needs, we come up with an estimate.  Usually we are very competitive, but not always.  We want to work for you. If there is a discrepancy between our estimate and others you have received, please contact us and we will make every attempt to match other estimates.  This can not always be done because of certain equipment needs to complete the job and some business’s do not have proper coverage and insurance.  In these situations we most likely will not be able to match.  But if you like our business and would like us to complete your work and the estimate is the issue, please contact us to see if we can make an adjustment.  The worst thing that could happen is we cannot!  The best thing is we can, and both parties are happy!!!

When dealing with tree companies it is advised that the customer request to see documentation of worker’s compensation status and liability coverage.  The purpose of the liability coverage is to cover your property against accidental damages from tree work being completed.  If the tree company does not have coverage then the next option is your homeowners insurance.  You, the customer, would have to contact your agent to find out if they would cover any damage to your property caused by the tree company.  I would be cautious of accepting anyone’s verbal statement of coverage.

This was an old Oak tree that we removed.  If you look closely you can see the significant rot in the trunk section near the top of the canopy.  As we removed the tree we were able to track the rot all of the way to the ground.  It is always sad when you have to remove a beautiful tree such as this one.  With that being said, this tree was a candidate for removal due to the significant rot and location in the yard.  Significant property damage could have occurred as this tree continued to decline in health.  Please enjoy the pictures taken by the homeowner!  Thanks Ricky!

This Hack berry tree was removed because of a bad split in the main trunk that occurred after the strong windstorm last September.  The year before we had installed a Cobra cable system in this tree.  The system worked perfect and kept the tree upright preserving the homeowner’s property.  The removal went well.  The two trunks had to be secured together before removal could continue.  We used our Lift-All bucket truck to complete the job.  I was operating the bucket, my brother Dave was in the tree completing the cuts.  Our ground man, Jeff was controlling and chipping the branches as they came down.  These pictures were taken by the homeowner and sent to us via email.  We greatly appreciated the pictures!!  Thanks Myron!!!  Please enjoy!!

Hi 

We are going to start splitting wood for firewood.  We should have wood for sale in a couple of weeks.  The wood will still be green, but will be ready this winter to keep you warm and cozy in your house.  We are still working on pricing for a cord of wood.  We will make another post later with pricing.  If you are interested please email or call and we can discuss pricing in more detail.

We just wanted to give a quick blog on the wind storm that hit Columbus.  Hopefully, everyone is doing better as time passes.  Here are some points that might help when evaluating your tree if it has sustained some damage. If the branches that were lost are less then 3″ and less then 20% of the canopy was destroyed your tree will most likely be fine.  We simply suggest, for this example, to clean up the broken end of the branches.  

Now onto the more serious.  If the branches that came down are larger then 3″ and/or more then 20% of the canopy is damaged then you will need to have the trees evaluated.  It is possible the trees will recover with pruning repair of broken branches.  But it is also possible the stress could be to great on the tree.  

Please feel free to post questions and visit tree talk.
