"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!"

"The owner called in a timely manner and made arrangements to view my site. Completed the work the next day. Our house backs up to a lot of trees so future business. Very customer focused and offered advice on some fertilizer for my palm trees. Will definitely have them back in a few months to do additional work. And a couple of years when I have the entire surrounding trees trimmed back from the house."

"Very communicative, easy to work with on specific needs. In addition to tree trimming they also did mulch and grass work, removing all old mulch and not just adding fresh. For grass they were sure to remove all roots instead of laying over the roots. Very professional all around."

"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

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

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.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

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.
