Ames Story Tree & Lawn Mission Statement

"The mission of Ames Story Tree & Lawn is to have honest, trained, knowledgeable personnel providing unmatched customer service for all your outdoor needs."

Welcome to Ames Story Tree & Lawn! I would like to introduce my business and myself. My name is Jim Rock; I am an arborist who has been certified by the International Society of Arboriculture.  An arborist is someone who cares for trees. Not someone with a chain saw and a bucket truck but one who actually knows how trees grow and what diseases and problems to watch for. If you want to find A Certified Arborist in your area go to http://www.isa-arbor.com/findArborist/findarborist.aspx this certification means that I have at least 3 years of documented experience, (I have 33) and you can be confident because I have taken a test to prove that I have obtained a standard of knowledge set forth by the industry.
    I started Ames Story Tree Service in 1981 and I personally guarantee your satisfaction! We also belong to the Tree Care Industry Association (this used to be the National Arborist Association) and the International Society of Arboriculture. What these organizations do is keep me informed of the newest and best methods of trimming and removing and the best way to train my men. We learn how a tree grows and what they need to thrive. We've also learned what weaknesses and diseases to watch for and how to prevent them. I have trained and tested all my men to insure that we do tree care to the standards set forth by the ISA and the TCIA. These are the American National Standards Institute (ANSI 300) standards. We have the most experience of any tree service from this area. We are all trained professionals and we are fully insured for your protection. We also do the work safely and carefully.
    We have all the booms, cranes, dump trucks, chippers and stump grinders needed to take care of a job. We also last year purchased one of the new spiderlifts that go through a back yard gate and are self propelled, track driven so they don’t damage lawns. It will lift us up 50’ foot and we can still climb to get where we need to be. Most of the work we do comes from referral and repeat customers. In 2001 we started our lawn care. We do applications to your lawn for weed and feed with the same attention to details as our tree care. This means that your trees and property will receive the best care possible! And isn't that what you really deserve?
