Our names are John and Daniel McMains with J & D Tree Pro's Inc. Prior to founding our company in 1996; we worked with our family who has been in the tree industry since 1975.
During the beginning stages of our company we removed trees using the traditional method. Although sufficient, this method had its' drawbacks as trees dropped in yards caused ruts and had a tendency to damage shrubbery surrounding the trees being removed. As time passed we found through thorough research more effective methods of removal. After renting cranes for 4 years, developing a technique and process for the removals, and also looking for qualified operators, we finally found the right man and equipment.
In August of 2003 we purchased our first crane and brought on Skip Royster, crane operator since 1981, as a partner in the business. Residential and commercial customers immediately appreciated the benefits of having trees lifted out of their yards, causing no damage to their lawns, bushes, or surrounding trees. As business continued to grow we purchased our second crane in July of 2004, dedicating one to our commercial division and one to our residential.
A common misconception regarding tree removal using cranes is that it can be very expensive. This is associated with the fact that most companies rent their cranes as opposed to owning them. Since we began working with our own cranes we have found that in the majority of cases it can be just as cost-effective as having a quality tree care company do it using the traditional method, while at the same time reducing the amount of damage done to the surrounding area. In fact, in many cases it can be much cheaper because of the shear volume of work it allows us to do. Not only have the cranes enabled us to work more efficiently, they ensure an unparalleled standard of safety.
When removing a tree with a crane we are able to set up in the road or driveway; our cranes allow us to reach to a length of 155 feet, keeping limbs and the trees themselves away from your physical property. The technique of removal varies depending on the type of tree, the size, and how far away from the crane the tree is. But, to give you a general idea of the process, we attach a steel choker cable to the top of the tree, go down to a certain length, and cut it off. Sometimes, large limbs are carried away by the crane, while other times the whole tree is lifted away and placed into the street for clean up.
It's a whole new twist on tree removal; we like to say 'we're taking tree removal up instead of down.' As one customer told us, "There are certain things in life that you need to see, and this is one of them." Response like this drives me as an owner and our company as a whole to maintain a strict standard of quality as well as a motivation for customer satisfaction.
