About Wayne’s Tree Service
At Wayne’s Tree Service, trees aren’t just part of our work — they’re part of our story. Founded in 1993, our company has grown from a solo venture by Wayne Zedowski into a multi-generational, family-run team proudly serving homeowners and businesses throughout the region.
We specialize in safe, affordable, and honest tree care — from large removals and storm damage cleanup to fine pruning and seasonal maintenance. With decades of combined experience, licensed operators, and deep community ties, we deliver top-quality service with a neighborly touch.
A Deep-Rooted History in Tree Care
Wayne started the company in 1993 with a truck, a saw, and a vision: to offer reliable, safe tree services at a fair price to local homeowners. For over 20 years, Wayne built a name for professionalism and integrity — handling everything from everyday trims to storm damage emergencies with calm expertise.
His work laid the foundation for a business that would grow — not just in size, but in legacy.
A Family That Works Together
When Wayne retired in 2015, he passed the company to a trusted long-time employee — Dylan Ahlert. Dylan had been with the company for years and shared Wayne’s values of quality, safety, and service.
Together with his family, Dylan took over ownership and brought new energy and vision to the business.
- Dylan Ahlert, Owner & Operator: Leads daily operations, quoting, equipment handling, and on-site project management.
- Peter Ahlert, Dylan’s father and partner: Brings decades of tree care experience, mechanical knowledge, and strategic insight.
- Chuck, Dylan’s grandfather: A guiding force behind the family’s strong work ethic and commitment to honesty and craftsmanship.
- Bonnie, Dylan’s mother: Office and administrative support — keeping communication and scheduling running smoothly.
- Dean, Dylan’s brother: Safety and operations manager, ensuring all jobs are performed to state and industry safety standards.
This tight-knit team dynamic ensures that every customer receives personal service, attention to detail, and total accountability — from the first call to the final cleanup.
