"Heat wave or no, Monster Tree Service is making cool millions"
By Teresa Novellino
For the founder of Monster Tree Service, keeping his team cool in the heat is nothing. He turned a job known for shirtless teens and pickup trucks into a big money franchise.
For outdoor workers, the heat wave that is stretching from the East Coast into the Midwest sending temperatures into three digits is not something you duck into your office job to escape: it's inescapable. So what's an entrepreneurial company that specializes in outdoor work to do? A good person to ask is Josh Skolnick, founder of Monster Tree Service, a multimillion dollar tree removal business that he launched in 2008 and turned into a national franchise last year.
"We advise them to start earlier than usual, get out before the temperatures get really high," Skolnick says. "There should be a 5-gallon iced water jug on every crew and they should try to limit the manual labor work and schedule work that's more machine orientated (and thus less physically challenging in the heat)."

Monster Tree Service branching out into Chesco
Monster Tree's second franchisee, Mr. Steve Young was recently featured in a great article in the Pottstown Mercury alongside our CEO Josh Skolnick titled, "Monster Tree Service branching out into Chesco". The article discusses Steve’s decision to leave corporate America to become the second franchisee for Monster Tree Service. Steve notes that he felt very supported by franchise system Josh Skolnick has launched and that he excited to begin working in Chester County. The article also discusses Josh’s background and how he turned Monster Tree Service into a multimillion-dollar enterprise. Click here to read the article or begin below:
By Brent Glasgow
After more than two decades in the corporate world, a drawn-out restructuring process at his company in Boston left Steve Young looking for a new source of income.
“What was going to be left for me, there wasn’t really something I wanted to do,” Young said. “In all fairness, the corporate world has been good to me, but for many years, I’ve wanted to get out and do something on my own. It just was never the right time. Now it is.”
Young considered starting a business from scratch, but didn’t like the profit projections any of his ideas produced. Then, after four months of researching possible franchise opportunities, he decided to become the second franchisee of Monster Tree Service, a tree restoration, pruning and removal business started five years ago by Fort Washington native Josh Skolnick.
Young’s Monster Tree franchise, which launched last week, will primarily service Chester County. Hailing from Reading, having worked in Montgomeryville and with three daughters living in the area, it was the perfect situation for Young.

Thinking about adding on to your landscape business? Why not explore a ready-made system?
The secret's in the system. And that's exactly why entrepreneurs invest in a franchise. They're buying a business that can enhance an existing offering or thrive as a stand-alone operation. In the landscape world, there is a range of complementary services that can attract new customers, round out a service mix, separate a firm from its competitors and rake in more revenue.
