J&J Trading and Distributing Co.

We are a landscape design,installation, and tree service firm. We specialize in onsite digital imaging, tree care, and landscape consulting.

About the company

J&J Trading and Distributing company was started in the early 1980's as a retail nursery in the northwest corner of Wayne county Ohio. It stayed this way for about five years, until James Matty Sr. Decided to incorporate tree service into his company. After a few years of this he then broke into landscaping strictly on a design build basis. The nursery and landscape end of the company grew by leaps and bounds and by the early 1990's the tree service end had all but disappeared to due to demographics, labor shortages, and the increasing demand for professionally designed and installed landscapes. James Matty Sr. Then made a very difficult decision of handing down the company to James Matty II.

After I took over J&J Trading and Distributing Co. in 1996 I began to realize that the company needed two more things that would help us explode all over northeast Ohio. The first thing that we needed was to open a new company branch closer to Akron which would increase the our population density pool by simple demographics. The second thing that J&J Trading needed was the expansion of services outside of the nursery and design build end. Since this realization I moved part of the company to the northeast part of Wayne county in Doylestown Ohio. Shortly after moving it was decided that the best way to expand would be in the landscape maintenance services for the demand of the new demographics.

Company principles

 

Our values with respect to our clients and employees;

That we will treat people honestly and fairly in all situations

That we will create a comfortable environment in which to work and do business

That we will be open to problems and complaints, and work quickly to a fair resolution

That we will present a professional image and work safely

That we will have a can-do attitude

That we will stand behind our commitment of quality and service

These are our purposed company principles that I wish to incorporate to every level of the company starting with our employees in the company. These are the many ideas that can be initialized both internally and externally.

Our Goals

We also need to set priorities within the company that make us more efficient in all service areas. This will allow a smoother flow for the tree service and all other future service expansions in the company.

We need to identify and actively seek clients who value our level of commitment

We need to design all of our systems to meet the needs of our clients so that they may operate at their highest efficiency

We need to improve the quality of our clients landscape asset over time

This company will continue to grow internally for all so long as we stay focused on common goals. This means that as service areas come in we are able to open new jobs for external world of this company but most important it allows both lateral changes and promotional moves for all those internally. These internal company movements do more than just give people more money and allow for a change of pace. They also educate our employees and make their lives better over all by showing them trust and delegating more responsibility to them directly.
