Grounded in Service

---

J.W. Metz Co. was founded by my wife Kristy and I in 2024, however; we have the know how and tools to get the job done well.  All we need now is the opportunity to show you just what we can do!

Ethical business practices are very important to us.   As part of our ongoing effort to be good business leaders in the communities we serve we are Accredited by the Better Business Bureau.  You can find us by using our ID# 1000061153 .

Yes, J.W. Metz is a Registered General Contractor for Landscape services with the State of Nebraska.  Registration# 88072-24  Exp: 9/17/2025

Your home is one of the most important investments in your life and I respect that.  J.W. Metz Co. is a registered LLC and insured by Farm Bureau.

If the material required for your project are significant (over $500), we do require payment for materials up front.  Any other payment for services will be collected after our services are completed.  We invoice using Quickbooks, and accept payment through the link provided using Paypal, Credit OR Debit card.  If you would rather pay through different means, we also accept Venmo, Cash and Check.  Your receipt for services will be sent after the payment clears the bank.  

 We use power equipment like mini skid steers, augers, and trenchers to complete projects safely, efficiently, and to a high standard. While it might seem like a shovel or wheelbarrow could do the job, power tools help us move materials, dig, or prep areas in a fraction of the time—with better results and less physical strain.

As for cost—using power equipment doesn’t necessarily mean you’re paying more. In many cases, it actually helps control labor costs by reducing how long the job takes. Instead of paying for extra hours of manual labor, you’re benefiting from faster, more precise work using the right tools for the job.

In short: we use equipment to give you better value, better results, and a safer process.

 Landscaping requires equipment—whether it’s a hedge trimmer, a wheelbarrow, or a skid steer—and with every project, that equipment experiences wear and tear.

Certain tasks, like working around rock, roots, or tight spaces, can be especially tough on tools and machines. To keep things running safely and effectively, we include a general equipment usage and wear allowance in our service pricing.

This helps us maintain our tools in top condition so we can continue to deliver reliable, high-quality work on every job.

In most cases, we’ll handle purchasing the materials needed for your project—whether it's plants, soil, mulch, or other supplies. This helps us ensure we’re getting the right products in the right quantities from trusted suppliers, and it saves you the hassle of sourcing everything yourself.

Because this is part of the service we provide—and takes time and coordination—we do apply a material handling fee to cover sourcing and delivery.

At J.W. Metz Co., we handle small to mid-sized tree removals safely and efficiently across residential properties, helping you reclaim and maintain your outdoor space.

Depending on site conditions, access, and equipment, we’re also able to take down full-sized trees when it can be done safely and within our operational scope. For trees requiring advanced climbing, rigging, or complex canopy work, we partner with trusted licensed arborists to ensure every job is handled professionally from start to finish.

If a tree is already down, we’re fully equipped to manage the cutting, sectioning, hauling, and cleanup, leaving your property clear and ready for what’s next.

This approach lets us stay focused on safe, reliable, and high-quality land management and Clearscaping services — always tailored to your property’s unique needs.

 Hiring someone off Facebook or Nextdoor vs a known Business can be a gamble—you often don’t know their skill level, whether they’re insured, or how reliable they’ll be. Safety can also be a concern, especially if they’re not using proper equipment or don’t stand behind their work.

Whether you choose J.W. Metz Co. or another provider, we just want to make sure you’re working with someone you can trust.

 Yes and no. We offer free consultations to talk through your specific needs and provide a quote for our services.

For basic projects, you can often send us a photo through our online form, and we’ll get back to you with an estimate by email.

For larger or more involved projects, we’ll need to visit the site to get a better understanding of the space and details.

 For design services, we charge for the time involved in developing a thoughtful, customized plan, especially when engineering or technical layouts are required.
