Services & What’s Offered
What services does Bynum Tree and Landscape offer?
Bynum Tree and Landscape provides Tree Trimming/Pruning, Tree Removal, stump grinding, Complete Property Cleanups / Yard Resets, and Junk Hauling & Junk Removal using a 20-yard dump trailer.
What do you specialize in?
Desert-smart Tree Trimming/Pruning (structure, clearance, wind handling) plus whole-property cleanups and hauling— so customers can reach a clean, photo-ready result with one point of contact.
Can you handle both small jobs and large cleanups?
Yes. Small trims and single-item pickups are welcome. Larger cleanouts and multi-tree projects are planned for safe workflow, efficient haul-off, and a meticulous cleanup.
Do you offer one-time yard cleanups?
Yes. Complete Property Cleanups / Yard Resets are ideal for move-outs, inherited properties, HOA deadlines, and listing prep. Weed Removal & Cleanup is available and is commonly bundled into a cleanup scope when it helps achieve a finished result.
Do you offer ongoing or repeat maintenance?
Yes. Many customers schedule tree reviews every 1–3 years and repeat cleanups as needed to prevent overgrowth and debris buildup.
Do you offer stump grinding?
Yes. Stump grinding is available for typical residential stumps when access is reasonable.
Can you combine Tree Trimming/Pruning, cleanups, and Junk Hauling & Junk Removal in one visit?
Yes. Bundling tree work, yard cleanup, and hauling into one visit is common and helps simplify scheduling.
Can you help get a property ready for listing photos or an inspection?
Yes. Listing prep is common: trees are trimmed for clearance and curb appeal, junk is hauled, and the yard is cleaned so the property shows well.
Tree Trimming/Pruning
What kinds of trees do you work on most in Mesa?
Common Mesa/East Valley trees include mesquite, palo verde, ash (Arizona/Shamel), Chinese elm, bottle tree, desert willow, Texas mountain laurel, citrus, and similar landscape trees.
How often should I trim my trees?
Many shade trees do well with a structural trim every 1–3 years. Timing depends on species, growth rate, wind exposure, and proximity to roofs, walls, and pools.
When is the best time of year to trim trees in Mesa?
Most structural Tree Trimming/Pruning is best in cooler months (late fall through early spring). Lighter clearance and storm-prep is often done in late spring/early summer; heavy trimming during extreme heat is avoided unless safety requires it.
Do you trim desert trees like mesquite and palo verde?
Yes. Desert trees are trimmed for structure, balanced weight reduction, and better monsoon wind handling while keeping a natural form.
Do you trim citrus and other fruit trees?
Yes. Citrus and fruit trees can be pruned for clearance, health, and access. Heavy topping is avoided.
Can you trim trees away from my roof, walls, or pool?
Yes. Clearance from structures and hardscape is a common goal. Trims are planned to reduce contact risk while keeping a balanced canopy.
Do you top or lion-tail trees?
No. Topping and lion-tailing are not recommended. Cuts are made back to proper branch unions and growth points for strength and a natural look.
Can you thin a tree for more light without removing it?
Yes. Selective thinning can improve airflow and light while keeping the tree looking natural and balanced.
Can you help me decide whether to trim or remove a tree?
Yes. Options are reviewed during the estimate based on condition, location, clearance needs, long-term goals, and budget.
Tree Removal
Do you handle storm-damaged or leaning trees?
Yes. Monsoon damage is common, and safety-related issues are prioritized when scheduling. An on-site estimate confirms the safest plan.
Can you remove trees that are too close to the house or block wall?
Many typical residential removals can be handled when access and drop zones are reasonable. Extremely large or crane-dependent removals may be referred out for safety.
Do you haul away branches and logs after Tree Removal?
Yes. Quotes include haul-off and a meticulous cleanup for the work you approved unless the customer requests to keep some wood.
Can you take down and remove smaller volunteer trees and saplings?
Yes. Volunteer trees and nuisance saplings (often along walls or in planters) can be removed and hauled as part of a project.
Stump Grinding
How is stump grinding priced?
Pricing depends on stump diameter, location, access, and how much grinding is needed. Multiple stumps at one property are usually more efficient than separate trips.
How deep do you grind stumps?
Depth depends on what the customer plans to do afterward (rock, soil, replanting, etc.). Typical grinding is several inches below grade, with options reviewed during the estimate.
Can you grind stumps near walls, concrete, or irrigation?
Often, yes—case by case. Each stump is evaluated for utility/irrigation risk and potential damage; if it isn’t safe, alternatives are discussed first.
Do you haul away stump grindings or leave them on site?
Grindings can be left, spread, or hauled depending on the estimate. The quote specifies how chips are handled.
Complete Property Cleanups / Yard Resets
What is included in a Complete Property Cleanup / Yard Reset?
Scope depends on the property, but common work includes brush/overgrowth removal, haul-off, trimming back problem growth, and leaving the site clean. Weed Removal & Cleanup can be included within a full cleanup scope for a finished result.
Can you handle HOA-required cleanups and compliance deadlines?
Yes. HOA-required cleanups are common. Photos plus the deadline help prioritize scheduling and plan the fastest path to a clean, compliant result.
Do you do move-out, inherited property, or listing-prep cleanups?
Yes. Listing prep and turnover cleanups are common—especially when tree work, hauling, and yard reset are needed together.
Do you remove weeds only, or do you also haul and clean up?
Weed work is typically paired with haul-off and cleanup as part of a complete scope. The goal is a clean, finished property with debris removed.

Junk Hauling & Junk Removal
What size is your junk hauling trailer?
The rig is a 20-yard dump trailer (about 7 ft × 14 ft × 5.75 ft), about 21 cubic yards of space.
How many pickup loads is a full trailer?
A full trailer is often comparable to about 7–8 pickup loads, depending on stacking and material type.
Can you price junk loads from photos?
Often, yes—if the load is curbside/driveway/garage-door staged and easy to access. For inside pickup, backyard carry-out, stairs, or tight access, a free on-site estimate is completed before a quote is provided.
What items can you not take?
Not accepted:
- No tires
- No fridges/freezers unless freon has been professionally evacuated and the unit is tagged
- No hazardous materials including wet paint/paint-related materials, solvents/chemicals, pesticides and pool chemicals, gasoline and automotive fluids
- No biomedical/infectious waste; no friable asbestos
Weight-limited items (quoted case by case): very heavy debris (dirt/rock/block) and some remodeling/construction debris. Heavy-material rate applies or a separate load may be required.
Do you offer curbside-only junk pickup?
Yes. Curbside/driveway-staged pickup is the fastest option and is often the easiest to confirm from photos.
Can you help with garage or shed cleanouts?
Yes. Cleanouts are common. Items to keep vs. remove are confirmed so only unwanted items are hauled.
Can you haul away yard waste and green waste that I already have piled up?
Yes. Piled green waste can be loaded and hauled as long as access is safe and the material is within weight limits.

What is the fastest way to get a quote?
Text clear photos and your ZIP and nearest major crossroads to (480) 427-1055. Calling or using the contact form also works.
Can you give a ballpark from photos?
Sometimes. Clear photos can allow a ballpark range (tree work or curbside/driveway/garage-door staged junk), but final pricing is confirmed after an on-site estimate.
How do you price tree work?
Pricing depends on size/species, access, proximity to structures, hazards, scope (Tree Trimming/Pruning vs. Tree Removal), and how much haul-off is required.
How do you price Junk Hauling & Junk Removal?
Pricing is based on trailer volume, material type, and access. Beyond-curbside pickup requires a free on-site estimate before a quote. Very heavy debris and some construction/remodel debris may require a heavy-material rate or a separate load.
Are there extra fees or surprise charges added at the end?
No surprises. Quotes include standard disposal/dump fees for the work you approved. If something changes the scope, it’s discussed and approved before work continues.
When is payment due?
For most residential jobs, payment is due when the agreed work is completed and the customer has reviewed the results.
Scheduling, Job Day & What to Expect
What days and hours do you normally work?
Work is typically scheduled Monday through Friday around 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
How far in advance should I schedule Tree Trimming/Pruning or Tree Removal?
Cooler months and storm season can book out. For flexible timing, 1–2 weeks is often workable; for deadlines or specific dates, reach out earlier.
How far in advance should I schedule Junk Hauling & Junk Removal or a cleanup?
Availability varies by season and workload. Many standard loads can be scheduled within a few days; deadlines (move-outs, photos, HOA notices) should be mentioned up front.
Do I need to be home for the estimate?
Meeting in person is best for a clear scope, but some outside-only estimates can be started from photos and clear instructions.
Do I need to be home while the work is done?
Not always. Many customers meet at the start, then step away. A final walkthrough can be done in person or with photos if needed.
How should I prepare my property before you arrive?
Move vehicles from the work zone, unlock gates, and set aside items to keep. Share notes about irrigation, pets, low-voltage lighting, or tight access before job day.
What happens if weather is bad on the day of my job?
If wind, lightning, or heavy rain makes outdoor work unsafe, the job may be paused or rescheduled. Customers are contacted as early as possible.
