About
Johnson Ops Tree Care
Dave and Kris Johnson both La Crosse natives have been involved in arboriculture for over 20 years. Inspired by their passion for trees and the environment, they founded Johnson Ops Tree Care in 1999 and continually strive to perform high-quality work from Tree healthcare, Mulch, Mill, and a Nursery with the company being 100% green. While maintaining respectful, positive working relationships with our clients.
Our staff has a keen understanding of proper pruning techniques and tree science and is well-trained to address the specific and diverse needs that each tree may have. Only practices which benefit and address long-term safety, health, beauty, etc. are carried out unless removal is required.
We are also dedicated to promoting safe work practices within all tree care operations. We are a TCIA Accredited Company
