Jesse James Tree Service

About Jesse James Tree Service

The bur oaks that shade the old farm ground north of Kearney, near where Jesse James was born, are old enough to have taken plenty of ice storms over the years, and Jesse James Tree Service is usually the crew called when one of those limbs finally lets go over a driveway. Winter work here starts with the trees — clearing what came down overnight — before the plow blade even comes out to open the lane underneath. A single ice-heavy branch can block a rural drive as completely as two feet of snow, so the tree work and the snow work end up tangled together most storms. The crew knows which old oaks around town lean toward which driveways, which makes the difference between a quick call and a long search in the dark. By the time a Kearney lane is clear, both the wood and the white have usually been cleared off it in the same visit.
