About JH Tree Service & Landscaping

JH Tree Service & Landscaping is an owner-operated tree care business based in Rockaway, NJ, founded by Jorge and built on over 21 years of hands-on experience in the trade. We are licensed by the State of New Jersey (NJ Tree Care Operator License 831684), fully insured, and bilingual in English and Spanish. Across Morris County and Northern NJ, we are known for showing up on every job, doing tree work that’s safe and clean, and treating every property like the long-term asset it is.

The Story Behind JH Tree Service & Landscaping

Jorge spent his first 14+ years in tree care learning the trade hands-on across New Jersey, working for established tree companies on residential and commercial properties of every size. In 2018, he founded JH Tree Service & Landscaping to fix the problems he saw repeatedly: rotating crews that never met the customer, project managers who disappeared after the quote, surprise upcharges mid-job, and language barriers that left Spanish-speaking homeowners with worse service than English-speaking ones.

Today, JH Tree Service serves homeowners, contractors, and property managers across Morris County and Northern NJ from our base in Rockaway. With 21+ years of total trade experience behind every job, we have completed work ranging from single back-yard tree trimmings to multi-acre commercial land clearings, backed by a perfect 5.0-star Google rating across 29 verified reviews.

Why We Started JH Tree Service

We founded JH Tree Service in 2018 around three commitments. These shape every job we take, and they have not changed since:

Owner on Every Job

Jorge personally walks every property before the work, supervises during the work, and finishes every job with a walkthrough. No subcontracted crews, no project manager handing off your job to someone you never met. When you hire JH Tree Service, the person who wrote the quote is the person on your property.

The Price We Quote is the Price You Pay

Every estimate is given on-site, in writing, and itemized. No surprise upcharges, no high-pressure sales tactics, and no inflated quotes designed to leave room for negotiation. If something changes mid-job (a hidden hazard, a request for additional work), we stop, talk it through, and update the written quote before continuing. No exceptions.

Service in Both English and Spanish

A significant portion of the population around Dover and the surrounding Morris County towns speaks Spanish. Clear communication about something as serious as tree work, especially work involving heavy equipment, climbing, and risks to property and safety, should not depend on which language you grew up speaking. We do every estimate, every walkthrough, every job, and every follow-up in both English and Spanish, every time.

Our Credentials, Licensing, and Insurance

Tree work involves heavy equipment, climbing, and real risk to property and people. We carry full credentials and provide documentation to any customer, contractor, or property manager who asks.

NJ Tree Care Operator License 831684

Issued by the State of New Jersey. The NJ Tree Care Operator License is required for any business performing tree work commercially in the state, and confirms that the operator has demonstrated knowledge of pruning standards, safety practices, and tree biology.

21+ Years in the Trade

Jorge has spent over two decades performing tree work across New Jersey, including 7+ years operating JH Tree Service & Landscaping LLC. Hands-on experience covers climbing, sectioning, rigging, stump grinding, land clearing, and emergency response.

General Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance

JH Tree Service carries full general liability insurance covering property and bodily injury, plus workers compensation insurance for our crew. Certificates of insurance are provided to homeowners, contractors, property managers, HOAs, and GCs on request.

5.0 Stars on Google Across 29 Verified Reviews

A perfect 5.0-star Google rating is hard to maintain and impossible to fake. Every JH review comes from a real customer who scheduled work with us, and every review is publicly visible on our Google Business Profile.

How We Approach Tree Care in Morris County, NJ

Our approach to tree care is shaped by specific behaviors on every job. We use industry-recognized pruning cuts so the tree heals naturally. We grind stumps 4 to 12 inches below grade so the area can be reused, not just shaved flush. We offer selective land clearing that preserves the mature trees you want to keep, not clear-cut work that is faster for the crew. We document every job with photos, written quotes, and itemized invoices. And we walk the property with you before, during, and after every job.
