Joshua Tree Experts in North Columbus, OH
Tree Service, Lawn Care & Pest Control Services
Here's how we approach every property: if we wouldn't do it to our own yard, we're not doing it to yours. That means we don't top a healthy maple to make a job go faster, we don't blanket-spray when a targeted treatment will do, and we don't call for removal on a tree that still has good years in it. Our ISA-Certified Arborists walk the property first and tell you what they actually see.
At Joshua Tree Experts in North Columbus, we treat your landscape with the same care we'd give our own street. Central Ohio asks a lot of a yard: dense glacial-till clay that holds water and compacts hard, straight-line winds that come through with real force, and winters that swing from ice to thaw and back again. We build plans around those conditions instead of working off a generic calendar.
You'll notice the difference in how we work: we show up when we say we will, we clean up before we leave, and we tell you what we did and why.

Supporting Trees & Lawns in North Columbus
From New Albany to Hilliard, properties on this side of Columbus share the same short list of problems: heavy clay that drains slowly, mature canopies that need real structural work, and a storm season that finds every weak union. Each of our three programs is built around those conditions
ISA-Certified Tree Services
The trees we work on most across North Columbus are sugar maples, pin oaks, and honeylocusts, and each one tells you something about the ground it's standing in. Our arborists diagnose the cause before recommending a treatment, because the wrong fix on a stressed tree just buys you another year of decline.
- Tree trimming and pruning to clear deadwood, open crowded canopies, and build the branch structure that carries a tree through an ice load.
- Tree removal and stump grinding for trees past saving, including the ash that emerald ash borer left standing dead and brittle.
- Emergency tree service when straight-line winds or heavy wet snow put a limb across your driveway, your roof, or a line.
- Insect and disease management for the emerald ash borer, Japanese beetles, bagworms, and scale that move through central Ohio landscapes each season.
- Deep-root fertilization that places nutrients past compacted clay and into the root zone where a tree can actually take them up.
- Cabling and bracing to support split trunks and heavy co-dominant leaders on the mature maples and oaks that shade older neighborhoods.
- Lightning protection for the tall, open-grown specimen trees that anchor a property and can't be replaced in a season.
If you're not sure what a tree needs, that's what the walkthrough is for.
North Columbus Lawn Care Programs
(Coming Soon)
A central Ohio lawn spends spring fighting crabgrass out of compacted clay and late summer trying to hold color through a dry stretch. Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and perennial rye each want something different from a feeding schedule, which is why a single bag from the hardware store rarely gets you a full season. We build the program around the grass you actually have and the soil it is sitting in.
- Pre-emergent and weed control timed to stop crabgrass, nutsedge, and creeping charlie before they establish in spring.
- Seasonal fertilization matched to the Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and perennial rye that do best in central Ohio.
- Grub control that protects roots from Japanese beetle larvae feeding just under the surface through late summer.
- Aeration and overseeding each fall to break up compacted clay and thicken turf that has thinned out.
Lawn care is coming soon to North Columbus. Ask us about getting on the schedule for the first full season.
Licensed Pest Control Services (Coming Soon)
Most of the pest pressure here starts outside and works its way toward the house. Ants trail along foundations and patio slabs, wasps build under eaves and playsets, and boxelder bugs and stink bugs mass on warm siding once nights cool off. Our technicians treat the yard and the perimeter so that pressure stops at the property line, including the mosquitoes and ticks that hold in the shaded, damp corners of a central Ohio yard.
- Mosquito, flea, and tick control applied to the shaded, damp areas of the yard where they breed and wait.
- Ant control around foundations, walkways, and patio edges where colonies set up along the perimeter.
- Perimeter pest treatments that put a treated barrier around the outside of the home before spiders, boxelder bugs, and stink bugs reach it.
- Wasp and hornet nest removal from eaves, soffits, playsets, and shrubs.
Pest control is coming soon to North Columbus. Every application stops at the exterior, and we will tell you exactly where we treated.
A Company Local To You
Joshua Tree Experts in North Columbus is locally owned and operated, and that shapes how the crews work. The people who answer your call live in these communities and drive past last season's work on the way home. When something isn't right, you're talking to someone with a name and a stake in the answer.
What we bring to that is the Joshua Tree Experience: ISA-Certified Arborists who diagnose before they prescribe, crews trained to protect the turf and beds they're working around, and straight communication from the first walkthrough to the final cleanup. We'd rather spend ten minutes explaining why a tree needs cabling instead of removal than sell you work you don't need. That's the standard we hold on every property in North Columbus.

Franchise Owner, Brian Lechlitner
Brian Lechlitner’s path to Joshua Tree Experts is rooted in the soil, built on executive leadership, and driven by a lifelong commitment to stewardship. Raised on a farm, Brian developed an early, hands-on respect for the land and the hard work required to care for it. That foundation guided him through an eight-and-a-half-year tenure as a Chief Operating Officer, where he led teams, scaled operations, navigated complex challenges, and built organizations grounded in accountability and culture.
As a Central Ohio real estate professional with Red 1 Realty, Brian has spent years helping families build, improve, and love where they live. His transition to Joshua Tree Experts represents a natural evolution—bringing together his operational experience, connection to Central Ohio, and farm-rooted appreciation for the land under a brand that shares his commitment to people, culture, service, and stewardship.
For Brian, business isn't just about P&Ls and production; it's about putting people first. He was drawn to Joshua Tree Experts because of its operational discipline and a culture that prioritizes relationships, safety, service, and care for the communities it serves. Supported by his wife, Toni, Brian is proud to establish Joshua Tree Experts in Northern Columbus, bringing professional tree care, lawn care, plant health care, and pest control to the communities they call home.
Today, Brian is focused on building a property care business in Central Ohio known for its people, service, and commitment to the communities it serves—creating local jobs, developing a supportive team culture, and raising the standard of care for homeowners and businesses throughout the region. When he isn't building the business or serving clients, Brian remains actively engaged in the local community and enjoys spending time with his family.
