Jones
Tree and Lawn has been serving the Denver metro area and surrounding
foothill communities since 1988. However, our "roots" in the
tree care industry extend much deeper. The president of the company,
Kevin Jones, started in the horticulture industry in 1975 at Warren
Occupational Technical Center in Lakewood Colorado. After completing the
landscape horticulture course at WOTC, Kevin went on to graduate from
the University of Idaho with a BS degree in Plant Science, Major in
landscape Horticulture in 1982. During high school and while attending
college he worked in the various industries of horticulture, green
house, rose production, nurseries, and eventually found his calling in
arboriculture. After graduation he returned to Denver and worked for a
large tree company for the next six years. At the end of 1987 it was
time to move on.
With a little bit of money, a lot of determination and a good following
of loyal clients Kevin and his partner Tom Goldtrap started Jones'
Landscape Care Company in January, 1988. Since that time, the company
has grown and evolved. The partnership became a corporation in 1992. In
1996 they purchased their present office and land in Arvada. In 1998
they purchased Denver Forestry Tree and Plant Health Company, which was
started in 1918. In 1999 the Corporation chose to change the business
name to Jones Tree and Lawn, Inc. "We chose our original name
Jones' Landscape Care, with the intention that it would describe our
services as all inclusive to landscape plant maintenance." However,
we found that most everyone thought we were "landscaping
contractors" which is not what we specialize in . A name says a lot
so we thought it best to change our name to describe what we do best:
maintain trees and lawns."
Kevin and Tom are both ISA
Certified Arborists and are Qualified Supervisors through the
Colorado Department of Agriculture for pesticide application. The
Company maintains a "Good Standing" with the Colorado
Better Business Bureau. Kevin serves on the Horticulture
Advisory Committee board at Warren Tech. and has taught educational
seminars at the Colorado ProGreen Exposition. Dedicated to their
profession and industry, both owners and employees attend industry
educational seminars and workshops and hold in house training sessions
in order to stay up to date with ever changing tree and lawn care
techniques, laws and pest control products.
We feel that the more we know about our profession is more information
we can pass on to our clients. The more our clients know about their
landscape makes it easier to work together with realistic expectations
and goals. |
