Parker Tree Service is now located in Springfield, Missouri.
Who is Parker Tree Service?
I’m Jamin Parker Mayer, the owner and operator of Parker Tree Service (established in 2002). My family and I moved to Springfield from Longmont, Colorado for both business and personal reasons. One of the reasons for moving out here was to divest away from the larger & stressful way of doing business. How I conduct business now, is by choice. We now operate with very little overhead which means my rates can be highly competitive. We have great customer service and our reviews are authentic.
What’s different about Parker Tree Service?
- We climb nearly all trees as we are fully competent & effecient to do so. If a tree is too “sketchy” to climb we may need to rent a lift. What this means; we can access nearly any tree and operate, with way less overhead cost to you.
- We are truly a family-owned business. A family-owned business is willing to try various methods to create value for clients. Especially as living costs seem to be creeping up! –Are you curious? Read more.
- Your trees are your resource. While we are prepared to take away all the byproducts of tree operations we also know it’s your resource and we would like to encourage you to keep the byproducts, if you can. Especially as these resources can help your trees and land. (I’ll explain more).
- Why would I suggest this? –You can save money. Oftentimes, leaving byproducts on site is money saved upfront. There is less travel time, hauling, dump fees, etc… But, you can save money in other ways, too. 1- you can recover some of the tree operations costs if you sell the wood (we like to cut into firewood length for you). 2- we can spread out mulch for your tree(s), landscape beds, etc… 3- trees need mulch, right? Yes. Mulch is excellent for moisture retention and it will break down as a natural fertilizer. Mulch is also attractvie in a landscape.
What does our typical tree operation look like?
- We arrive in a Toyota Tundra with a small utility trailer (all 100% paid for BTW).
- We use a tiny wood chipper to process small branches into mulch. This tiny wood chipper allows us to bring the chipper to the actual tree we work on. This saves steps which means it is super effecient. This also means we can leave mulch around the tree we work on. We don’t need to haul it away. Lastly, this means there doesn’t need to be as many people on staff, for a crew.
- Anything larger than 3″ in dameter we cut into firewood length.
- We typically stack the logs near the tree operations.
- This is a quieter operation and does add value back to you, your trees, and your land.
Meet Jamin.
Hi. I’m Jamin Parker Mayer. This is an actual “about us” page to get to know my family and me.
I’ve been a member of the International Society of Arboriculture since 2002. I’ve been a Certified Arborist since 2006. I offer professional, affordable tree expertise. I specialize in tree risk assessment, structure pruning of small to large trees, and tree removals.
Back in 2001, I had an odd, divine calling to get into the tree care industry. Through answered prayer I knew I was to work with trees my entire adult life.
Small fact: My first-born son is named Parker. I directly named the business after my son Parker. When deciding the new business name I thought to myself, “What is my motivation?” I looked down at Parker and knew it was to support a 1-year-old. So, I named the business after Parker!
I’m 47. My wife and I have 7 children and 3 grandchildren! (I’m super excited to be in my 40’s and a grandpa).
We moved to Springfield, Missouri to continue to grow our family in a like-minded & family-friendly area.
Our boys are adults and we are now raising our four daughters in Missouri (which seems like starting over with a second family). My daughter’s individual personalities make me laugh every day!
Lastly, but most importantly:
I aim to do all I do in the name of my God, my Heavenly Father (Yahweh) and His Son (Yeshua) my Messiah. And it is not easy to do all I can in His name. It’s the mercy and grace of Yahweh I desire to love & obey His commands & love my neighbor. It is of no merit of my own that I am a child of the Utmost High God. Hallelujah!
