Our Story
LumberJill Tree Service was born out of a passion for hard work and a vision to challenge the status quo. Founded by a woman in a male-dominated industry, we’ve carved out a reputation for professional, honest, and dependable tree care—delivered with power and precision.
From our first jobs with just a bucket truck and a dream, we’ve grown into a trusted local business known for showing up, getting the job done right, and treating every customer like a neighbor.
Meet the Team
Owner-led tree care with direct communication, hands-on attention, and the kind of accountability that comes from people who actually do the work.
What You Can Expect
The heart of LumberJill is powered by a mom of young twins who believes in honest work and straightforward communication. Most of the work you’ll see getting done is by me, the owner/operator, April Hawkins, alongside a small, trusted crew. We keep our team intentionally lean so every job receives hands-on attention from start to finish.
We work hard, stay transparent throughout the process, and bring a deep sense of accountability to every job. We’re not here to upsell or disappear after the check clears. We’re building something for our family and yours—rooted in trust, transparency, and tenacity.
LumberJill Tree Service is a family-built business grounded in honesty and good old-fashioned work ethic.

Service Details
When a tree becomes unsafe, overcrowded, or too damaged to ignore, removal is about more than cutting it down. It’s about protecting your home, your landscaping, and the people around it.
Overgrown or damaged trees can become serious hazards during storms or high winds, especially when they hang over roofs, driveways, fences, or power lines. Removing them proactively helps reduce the risk of costly property damage and gives you more peace of mind.
Tree removal can also improve the overall health and function of your yard. Clearing diseased, dead, or poorly placed trees opens space for new growth, improves light and airflow, and makes the property easier to maintain and enjoy.
Professional removal matters because the right equipment and technique make the job safer, cleaner, and far more efficient. We plan the cut carefully, protect surrounding areas, and leave the space looking finished instead of torn up.
Service Details
Tree trimming helps keep your property safer, your trees healthier, and your yard looking more intentional. It’s one of the best ways to maintain long-term tree health without waiting for a problem to force your hand.
Regular trimming supports healthier growth by allowing more sunlight and airflow through the canopy. Removing dead or overcrowded limbs can also help reduce the risk of disease, pest issues, and structural weakness over time.
Well-planned trimming also improves safety around your home. Overextended branches can become a real problem during storms, high winds, or heavy seasonal growth, especially near rooftops, walkways, and parked vehicles.
Beyond the practical side, properly maintained trees make a big difference in curb appeal. Clean structure, balanced shape, and thoughtful pruning help your landscape feel more cared for and easier to enjoy.

Removing a stump is what makes a tree job feel truly finished. It clears the hazard, improves the appearance of the yard, and gives you the freedom to use the space again.
Leaving a stump behind can create several issues over time, from trip hazards to pest activity and unwanted regrowth. In high-traffic areas, it can also make mowing, landscaping, and general yard maintenance more frustrating than it needs to be.
Stump removal improves the look and usability of the property by clearing away what feels unfinished after a tree comes down. It opens space for new planting, fresh landscaping, or simply a cleaner layout in the yard.
Professional removal also means the work gets done safely and efficiently with the right equipment. Instead of wrestling with an awkward leftover problem, you get a cleaner result and a property that’s ready for what comes next.
