"Justin and his crew at Sawyer’s Tree Works are an excellent team. They removed multiple big oaks around my property and over my house in a very safe, and timely manner. I would absolutely hire them again!"

"​Jason and Scott provided exceptional service removing three large stumps from my property, working right within my budget. Their work was remarkably thorough, and their advanced equipment allowed them to complete the job quickly and efficiently. Best of all, their cleanup afterward was spotless, which was a huge plus for me. Professional, fast, and neat—I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"Big Freedom Tree Service was quick to respond, send an arborist out the same day, and was quoted a very competitive price on four trees - two to be cut down, and two to be trimmed. They got me scheduled within the same week and the crew showed up early in the morning! The guys were extremely professional, friendly, and did a BEAUTIFUL job on a pretty complicated project. Our backyard trees were wedged between 4 power lines, the carefully got through all the limbs, and shaved the stumps and root down to be level with the rest of the ground. Our two mature trees that needed trimming were also very well taken care of as were the homes they were growing over! We will be using them again for all future tree service needs, and recommend them to our entire neighborhood! First time home owners dealing with mature trees, and we are blown away with the service provided! 10/10 amazing job! Thank you so much!"

"They have done a wonderful job maintaining the lawn and are east to work with. I also hired them to trim the large oak tree in our backyard that had branches hanging over the roof. They did a great job of trimming, cleaning up all the branches and gutters and hauling everything away. I highly recommend them!"

"I've had Aubrey's complete 4 projects on my yard. About 2 years ago I contacted them to have 5-6 trees removed. They did a great job then (good communication, cleaned up debris), so I reached out again earlier this year to have another 4-5 trees removed. Again, same high-quality service on the trees. In addition to the tree removal, I also spoke to them about putting down sod - since I was now getting enough sunlight to support grass. Aubrey's gave me a clear description of the work that would be needed to prep the yard and put down the sod, and a very reasonable quote. Once I approved the work, they again communicated well on when work would be scheduled and stuck to that. Based on that work, I also had them mulch several beds - again, great and timely work. While out cutting the grass this weekend, I had 5 neighbors comment on how great it looked - one was even in landscaping business and noted what a great job they did on the seams when laying the sod."

Customers say: Quick response

"I am writing this review for my grandmother who had her yard cleaned up by custom John's , and when I say cleaned up I mean half a dozen or large truckloads of biomaterial taken away. I have worked with her on her yard for years, barely keeping her hedges, palms, trees, fern's, flowers, and weeds under control, trust me when I say her yard is a veritable jungle. She finally had enough and wanted it all cut back, about to what it looked like when she first moved in over 20 years ago. I didn't think anyone would be able to cut away so much growth without it looking like a butcher job, but John's team took a mature garden and shaped it so beautifully that it looked like a fresh landscaping job for a new house. Every shrub and palm shaped excellently, every tree well pruned, every weed taken out, and liner put in throughout. The job took well over a week to cut through overgrown mass and turn into a work of art. By the end of it, no part of the yard suffered in quality, it was thorough throughout, and custom tailored to my grandmother's vision. While at first I didn't think the work would be worth the quoted amount, I can say I was pleasantly surprised and can now say it was worth every penny. Both she and I highly recommend John's service."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.
