"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."

"​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."

"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

"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

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

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.
