Arbor Masters acquires JCB Tree Service, merges with Walker Tree Service

JCB and Walker Tree Service have been part of the tree care industry for 22 years and 27 years, respectively.


Arbor Masters is announcing the successful acquisition of JCB Tree Service, a reputable tree care company with 22 years of industry expertise. The acquisition marks a significant milestone in Arbor Masters’ commitment to expanding its services and delivering quality service in the Midwest sector.

Founded in 2002, JCB Tree Service has established itself as a trusted name under the dedicated leadership of owner Brian Beach, a certified arborist with a passion for arboriculture. Beach’s expertise and commitment to sustainable tree care have contributed to JCB's success, making it a natural fit for integration into the Arbor Masters family.

"We are excited to welcome JCB into the Arbor Masters family. Brian and his team have built an impressive legacy and their commitment to excellence mirrors our own values. This acquisition represents a significant step forward in our efforts to strengthen our position as a leader in the markets we serve,” says Ron Keith, owner.

JCB Tree Service will continue to operate under its established brand as an Arbor Masters Company. Clients can expect the same level of professionalism, expertise and dedication that JCB Tree Service has been known for over the past two decades.

“I am excited to be part of Arbor Masters and I’m looking forward to offering more services to our customers. I'm here to stay and be a valuable part of the team, building on the strong service and customer relationships Arbor Masters is famous for,” Beach says.

As Arbor Masters and JCB Tree Service join forces, the combined strengths of both entities will create new opportunities for growth and innovation.

Additionally, Arbor Masters announces its recent merger with Walker Tree Service, a family-owned business with 27 years of dedicated service. 

The decision to merge was fueled by a shared vision and values between the two entities. John Walker, founder of Walker Tree Service, and wife, Denise Walker, expressed their enthusiasm for the merger.

"The core of Arbor Masters is trees. Our cultures and values align, and they care more about the people than just the numbers,” says the couple. This sentiment underscores the mutual dedication to not only providing exceptional service but also prioritizing the well-being of customers and employees alike.

In describing his approach to business, John shared his motto, "never stop," emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement and growth. This philosophy resonates strongly with Arbor Masters' dedication to growth and innovation in the tree care industry.

A key aspect of the merger is the continuation of the Walker family's involvement in the business. Both John Walker and his son, Johnathon Walker, will remain integral members of the Arbor Masters team. Johnathon, who brings a wealth of knowledge and a profound love for trees, has already made his mark as a new Arbor Advisor. His expertise and passion will undoubtedly contribute to the continued success and growth of Arbor Masters.

By joining forces with Walker Tree Service, Arbor Masters expands its reach and capabilities, further enhancing its ability to provide top-notch service to customers across regions.
