Parker Tree Service is now located in Springfield, Missouri.  Our core customer base is Springfield and surrounding areas.

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 (though I seldom do large tree removals any longer).

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.

With awesome confirmations, I started this tree service business in 2002, in Longmont, Colorado.  I lived in Colorado until July of 2023.  We were blessed to grow a successful business and family of 9 in Colorado.

We moved to Springfield, Missouri to continue to grow our family in a like-minded & family-friendly area.  We have three adult sons with three grandsons!

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!

Who is Parker Tree Service?

Parker Tree Service has a good reputation among competitors and a good reputation with our 2,000+ former customers in Colorado.  Our loyal customer base suggested we are organized, professional, qualified, educated, thorough, and safe.  We have great customer service and our reviews are authentic.

As a small business owner who loves to learn by trial and error (the painful way), I have experienced many “ways to do business”.  We have had very large crew sizes, lots of machinery, trucks, a massive crane, massive wood chippers, etc…  I divested away from the larger, busier way of doing business.

How I conduct business now, is by choice.  The choice is to slow down our business, enjoy family, restore my body from all the injuries, and pay attention to causes that reap eternal benefits.  We now operate with very little overhead which means my rates can be highly competitive.

Sustainability

This isn’t just a “buzzword” for eco-friendly ears but for anyone who wants to save money.  Let me explain.

After studying how other professional arborists “do tree work” around the globe, I realized I can work a smaller operation (affordable/competitive) and utilize the bi-products smarter than what I was used to.  Here is what I mean:  Wood chips/mulch and firewood are the common bi-products generated with tree work.  Customarily, this bi-product is transported away from the property and property owner.  But, is that necessary for 100% of tree jobs?  No.  –Am I prepared to take away all debris? Yes. But, please consider how I can save you money and give back to your trees.

What’s the solution? With the usage of a small track-driven, tiny wood chipper.  I can put my chipper directly near my “drop zone.”  With the chipper next to my drop zone I can work efficiently (which saves clients cost) by no longer dragging brush to a chipper, towing a heavy wood chipper, hauling the wood chips/logs, etc…  The tiny chipper allows me to leave the wood chip/mulch & firewood on site (if clients choose).   I can cut and stack logs for your use (or your friends and family).

Trees need mulch. It’s free fertilizer and keeps the soil moist.

I can either spread out the mulch within the root zone of the tree(s) I worked on (which is best practice), or I can spread out mulch where needed on a property.  I discovered; EVERY property I work on needs mulch somewhere!
