WIll I Need to Climb Trees?
Owning a Monster Tree Service® franchise isn’t about working on trees - you don’t need to be an arborist and won't be working as a crew member.
It is simply about managing a business and working well with people.

Do you operate your own Monster Tree Service?
This is a huge advantage compared to "holding companies" that just sell franchises. At Monster Tree Service® we walk the walk, and talk the talk.
What type of training do you offer?
A Monster Tree Service® franchise includes two full weeks of initial training, with one week of classroom and hands-on training in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, followed by another full week of personal, onsite training at your location.
Training continues throughout your term with ongoing education programs and regular onsite support by Certified Arborists with decades of experience.

Do you offer continuing support?
Yes. The success of your business is our business, and nobody supports their franchisees better than we do.

What about competition? I see a lot of tree service trucks on the road.
The reason you see a lot of tree service trucks on the road is that the work is there to support them all.
Small, single-truck operators still dominate the Tree Care Industry. While there are some larger companies, owner/operators who both sell the job and perform the work are still doing most tree service.
Customers do business with these Mom & Pops because there is no alternative in an industry that needs and responds to our distinctive professionalism.
Once Monster Tree Service® starts operating in an area, our exceptional service, branded image, and aggressive, professionally designed Grand Opening and Monstrous Marketing Strategies quickly capture and build your market share.
Independents can’t compete.
