"Justin with Sawyers Tree Works was great, responsive, respectful, showed up on time, quoted me a reasonable price, and even was able to get the job done on super short notice. He and his crew did a great job, cleaned up after themselves, and even cut a few dead trees I hadn't prioritized. 10/10 recommend."

"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!"

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."

"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."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years.
