Big John’s Tree Service owner Johnnie Roland grew up removing trees alongside his father, John, who he says taught him the value of a strong work ethic from a young age. For many years, the family ran Country Board Woodyard in Flowood, but after John died of a heart attack in 1991, Roland changed the name to honor his father.
“That’s why I named the business ‘Big John’s Tree Service,’ after him,” he says. “He was 6-foot seven—a big guy—so I thought that just fit perfectly.”
Roland says a majority of their business comes from referrals and returning customers, which he attributes to the professionalism of Director of Operations Ken Anderson and their experienced crew.
Big John’s is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
