"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!"

"Very timely response. Completed the work quickly and cleaned up everything. My only disappointment, and it was a minor one, was he did not have a small stump grinder. Only a big one. But it would have been hard to get even a small grinder to where the stump is."

"Working with this team on both a boat dock inside the home project, I found them extremely professional from the office staff/ workers project leader. They took all the time I needed to fully explain my ideas and then they made several additional recommendations (not in a pushy way) to consider to help ensure the final project was all that I expected. As the project progressed I always felt I was being updated and fully understanding each step. In many projects, unexpected issues sometimes arise but Richard took the time to explain them and let me so I could make any changes I felt were needed or could wait until another project. In the end, everything was far beyond my expectations and within budget. I fully plan to use them again have highly recommended them to all my friends and to you this review reader also."

"We had two trees removed and three stumps taken out. Tony did a wonderful job not only fulfilling the removal, but was able to see the visual aesthetic we were looking to achieve with the remaining trees/growth. His price was very competitive, the best out of all three quotes we received. His work is stellar, I have recommended him numerous times already to friends/associates."

"This crew was amazing. I asked for a quote and John came to my house that day to ask me what I was looking for and provided a quote. He scheduled me that day, and showed up with a crew that worked quickly and effectively. They finished cleaning up my flower beds, adding new mulch, mowing the lawn, trimming some very overgrown hedges, removed a tree stump, and cleaned up leaves/acorns in one day. I was blown away by how nice my yard looked after they were done, and I will definitely be calling them again with any other landscaping/lawn care needs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

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.
