TL;DR
Joshua Tree Experts expands with a new location in East Philadelphia, led by Don Wuest. The location will cover several areas including West Chester, Media, and Villanova, offering services such as tree pruning and trimming.
Wuest, a Villanova University alumnus, recently closed out a more than 30-year career in the custom woodworking and manufacturing industry. He’s now excited to return to his passion for being outdoors. Wuest grew up nearby in Media, Pennsylvania, and returned to West Chester in 2011 to raise his family after spending 20 years enjoying the outdoors in the West. He sees the opening of a Joshua Tree Experts location as a full-circle moment.
“I grew up doing landscaping and tree work in the summers through college and am excited to return to my roots of working outdoors,” said Wuest. “I look forward to being a steward of the environment and improving our thriving community.”
Wuest says this is a family venture, with his wife helping in marketing. He hopes to bring his three kids into the business as well.
“I want to build not only a legacy for my family but also provide a path to greater success to everybody who comes along with me,” said Wuest.
Joshua Tree Experts of West Chester will cover West Chester, Media, Exton, Newtown Square, Malvern, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Devon, Narberth, Berwyn, and Villanova. Services include tree pruning and trimming by ISA-certified arborists, tree removal, and plant health care to protect trees and shrubs from insects, diseases, and other challenges.
Joshua Tree Experts, headquartered in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, blossomed under the leadership of Joshua Malik. He started operations in 2005, offering plant and general tree care services from his three-car garage. From humble beginnings, Malik scaled the business over a 10-year period, relocating operations to a commercial site and adding in-demand pest control and lawn care services.
“Don is dedicated to providing quality service and giving back to his community. We can’t wait to watch his business grow.” said Joshua Malik, CEO of Joshua Tree.
