Tree Services We Offer in the Coulee Region
Every property is different, but the goal is usually the same: healthy, safe, good-looking trees that add value instead of stress. We offer a full range of tree services so you don’t have to juggle multiple companies.
Tree Care & Trimming
Regular pruning and trimming help your trees grow strong, not just big. Our arborists remove dead or weak branches, thin the canopy where needed, and shape the tree so it looks good and stays safe around your home, driveway, roof, and power lines.
Tree & Stump Removal
Sometimes a tree is too damaged, too close to a structure, or too far gone from disease to safely keep. When removal is the right choice, we use proper rigging and controlled cuts so large sections can be lowered safely instead of just dropped. Afterward, stump grinding helps you reclaim the space for grass, landscaping, or a new tree.
Plant Healthcare
Tree care isn’t just about cutting—it’s also about keeping what you have healthy. From disease and insect control to fertilization and growth regulators, we help stressed or declining trees recover and stay strong.
Mulch, Lumber & Live Edge Slabs
We don’t waste good wood. Logs and branches from our tree work are turned into high-quality mulch, lumber, and beautiful live edge slabs. That means your removed trees can live on as landscaping materials, furniture, shelves, or other projects.
Trees for Sale & Planting Help
If you’re ready to add shade, privacy, or a focal point to your yard, we also offer trees for sale and can help with planting and long-term care recommendations. Planting the right tree in the right place now saves a lot of effort (and cost) later.
Safety, Training, and Certified Arborists
Tree work might look simple from the ground, but it’s one of the most dangerous trades out there. That’s why it matters who you hire.
Our team includes ISA Certified Arborists and experienced professionals who stay current with industry standards, training, and equipment. We’re involved with organizations like ISA, TCIA, and WAA, and we follow ANSI safety standards on every job.
What that means for you:
- Trees are pruned using proper techniques that promote health and structure
- Hazardous limbs are identified and handled carefully
- Work is done with the right equipment and safety gear
- We’re fully insured and happy to provide proof upon request
Cutting corners on tree work can lead to property damage, injured trees, or injured people. Working with trained arborists helps you avoid all of that.
100% Green: What Happens to Your Trees After We’re Done
One thing that sets Johnson Ops Tree Care apart is what happens after the tree work is finished. Instead of sending everything to a landfill, we process and reuse as much material as possible.
Here’s what that looks like:
- Logs go to our sawmill and kiln, where they’re turned into usable lumber and live edge slabs for builders, woodworkers, and homeowners.
- Branches and smaller wood are chipped and turned into mulch that’s available for local landscaping projects.
- Healthy new trees in our nursery are available for planting, so we’re constantly helping restore and improve the urban forest in our area.
When you hire us, you’re not just solving a tree problem—you’re also contributing to a more sustainable, local cycle of tree care and reuse.

Tree Service FAQs
Do I really need a certified arborist, or can anyone trim my trees?
Anyone can cut branches, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for the tree—or safe for your property. Certified arborists are trained in tree biology and proper pruning techniques, so your trees stay healthier and safer over the long term.
How do I know if a tree should be removed or just trimmed?
Signs like decay, large dead sections, significant leaning, or root damage can indicate that removal is the safest option. In other cases, strategic pruning is enough. Our arborists will walk you through what they see and explain the pros and cons of each option.
Will you clean up all the debris after tree work?
Yes. Cleanup is a standard part of our work. We haul away branches and debris unless you request otherwise, and we rake and tidy the work area so your yard is ready to use again.
Do you offer free estimates?
We do. We’ll visit your property, evaluate your trees, and provide a clear, written estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you offer Plant Healthcare services?
Yes, we do! Our Plant Healthcare program includes proactive inspections, disease and pest management, and customized treatment plans to keep your trees and shrubs healthy year-round.
How far in advance should I schedule tree work?
Availability can vary depending on the season and recent storms. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can get you on the schedule—especially for non-emergency work like routine pruning and planning.
