"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

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.
