About Colonial Tree
Colonial Tree Service Inc. has been a local family-owned-and-operated business since 1995.
About Us
We’ve come a long way since our first
days in Horsham, doing small tree and landscape jobs in the neighborhood
where we grew up. Like many companies we’ve seen good and bad times,
and we’ve learned from our mistakes and we’re better because of them. In
the early days we quickly saw that most companies would go out of
business for many reasons, but the two most common ones were always
safety and customer service. We decided from that point on, we were
going to excel in the areas where other companies fell short.
You can ask any of our customers what our best qualities are and they’re likely to list the same things.
Safety
Every year hundreds of workers in the Tree Industry are severely
injured or killed. Millions of dollars in property damage claims are
also filed because, unskilled inexperienced companies promise good work
for unbelievably low prices, and then have accidents on the job which
cost you money.
At Colonial Tree Service we use a combination of highly trained and
skilled employees, state-of-the-art equipment and proven tree removal
and pruning methods to ensure that safety is our number 1 priority on
every job.

Jim Cligget
PROFESSIONALJim is the brother-in-law of Matt and Carl. He joined Colonial Tree at
30 years old in 1999. Jim is a Certified Arborist who has the
experience and knowledge to properly evaluate your trees. Jim spends
his days not only meeting with homeowners to look at their trees, but
also in the office keeping Colonial operating efficiently.
When he is not working, Jim is spending
time with his wife Mariana, and their four kids Tyler, Haley, Emily and
Kennedy. They are often attending the kids sporting events or swimming
and surfing in the ocean.
Matt Rossi
PROFESSIONALIn the early 90’s as a teenager, Matt
knew he wanted to work outside with his hands. His strong work ethic
developed by doing small jobs for the neighbors where he lived. In 1995
Matt officially founded Colonial Tree and Landscaping. With an
overwelming desire to work outside Matt knew he found his calling. In
order to grow Colonial Tree Service into the industry leading titan it
has become, he decided in 1998 to discontinue the landscape division and
focus solely on the Tree Industry.
Matt wears many hats at Colonial
everyday. You can find him operating heavy equipment on a large land
clearing job, maintaining our trucks and equipment or building something
new. When he’s not working you can find him on the beach or fishing with his 5 year old twins Caden and Nina in Brigantine.
Bruce Ross
PROFESSIONALBruce is the Operations Manager at
Colonial. Bruce grew up and went to school with Matt and Carl. He
started with Colonial in 1996, and will be celebrating his 20 year
anniversary in April. Bruce has experience in every facet of the daily
operations, and there isn’t a piece of equipment he can not operate. He
typically operates our 50 ton crane and tracked skid steers during the
day.
When he’s not at work you can find him
spending time with his wife Jess and their two kids Paige (10) and Chase
(8). They are an outdoors family that loves anything sports related.
Carl Rossi
PROFESSIONALCarl developed a passion for the Tree
Industry a few years after his older brother Matt. At 17 years old
Carl started working with a local tree company to learn the trade, as
his brother Matt established what was then called Colonial Tree and
Landscaping. He joined Matt at Colonial in 1998 when he was 20 years
old.
Even after over 20 years, Carl still
has a strong passion to work outside high above the ground. To this day
you can still find him climbing trees on a job, or evaluating the
condition of trees at your house. When he’s not at work you can find Carl surfing in Brigantine or hunting in Canada.
