How It All Started...

In 1978, Judd Hart began a residential lawn care and landscaping company. He started by helping his neighbors and members of the community maintain their lawns and landscaping. Early on, quality service and networking enabled continuous growth for Judd. He graduated from Brother Rice High School and continued his education in Oregon. Judd came home to Michigan to re-visit his passion and entrepreneurism. To fulfill the local needs, Judd redesigned his lawn care company to focus on tree care. In 1981, with the love and support of his family and friends, Judd’s tree care business flourished and J.H. Hart Urban Forestry evolved into the successful company it is today.
