Our Story
About The J&L Palo Urbano Team
J&L Palo Urbano is a mobile milling service provider that operates in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. As some of the leading certified arborists in the area, my team and I have carved out an incredible reputation with our clients over the past 20 years.
Firmly Rooted in Family
J&L Palo Urbano is a company that’s built on an unshakeable foundation of family values that we’ve carried with us through the past two decades. Influenced by my father’s love for nature, I carried on the tradition of planting and harvesting trees together in a way that protected the environment as much as it served us.
Growing Strong Through the Years
Our journey began in Yellowstone National Park in 1993. As a forestry service professional, I spent my years like I spent my childhood with my father – enjoying the incredible wonders of the natural world. As a back-country wilderness ranger who had just graduated from studying timber wolves in
Vermilion, I had (and still have) a deep-rooted love for the outdoors, which led me to tree service industry in which I obtained my arborist certification in 1996.
Branching Out
I realized early on in my career that wood waste ran as rampant as a forest fire in the industry that I’d chosen to work in. There were countless millable, beautiful logs being dumped in landfills where they would soon rot away or be burned to ashes. Instead of allowing that to happen, I bought my very first sawmill in 2010 and spent more than a decade saving trees and logs. I started turning a once wasteful practice into an affordable and sustainable way to create amazing wooden furniture, materials, and projects.
