About Bynum Tree and Landscape

It started on his grandmother’s four-acre property in the early years — pulling weeds, planting trees and bushes, and learning what it meant to take care of land. She kept him busy, and he didn’t mind. There was something satisfying about outdoor work done right. That feeling never left.

His great-grandfather was a farmer from Mississippi. His grandmother always said that working the land, taking care of a property, and doing honest physical work with your hands was something the family understood. When Odis built Bynum Tree and Landscape, she watched it happen. She wanted to know everything about the business. She saw him grow into it before she passed. She was proud. That still matters.

Odis started Bynum Tree and Landscape in 2019 after years of watching, learning, and finally taking the leap. The first year was the hardest — not the work itself, but figuring out how to get the phone to ring. He learned. He figured it out.

Today, Bynum Tree and Landscape has 200+ five-star Google reviews, five consecutive Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave awards, and a reputation built one job at a time across Mesa and the East Valley.

Of all the services Bynum Tree and Landscape offers, Tree Trimming/Pruning is what Odis loves most. The transformation. The before and after. The way a properly trimmed tree looks completely different from one that has been hacked, topped, or lion-tailed by someone who did not know what they were doing.

Odis is currently studying for the ISA Certified Arborist credential — not just for a title, but because he wants to know more. To be confident in every cut. To understand not just what to do, but why. He listens to ISA study guides while he works. He is learning the craft while doing the craft.

He works slowly from the bottom up. He makes proper cuts back to branch unions. He does not top trees. He does not lion-tail. He does not leave unsightly nubs. He cleans up when the job is done and respects neighboring properties.

These are not just selling points. They are standards he holds himself to because he has seen what happens when someone does not.

The tree service industry has more than its share of fly-by-night operators — no insurance, no website, no reviews, and no way to hold them accountable if something goes wrong.

Odis has heard the horror stories. Customers who paid upfront and never saw the crew again. Properties left worse than they started. Damage with nobody to call.

Bynum Tree and Landscape is the opposite of that.

Fully insured. Background-checked by Checkr. A real website with real before-and-after photos. More than 200 verified Google reviews from Mesa and East Valley homeowners. If something is not right, say so right away. If it cannot be fixed, there is no charge for that service.

That is the guarantee.

Odis is married, a homeowner, and genuinely happy doing what he does — even in the Arizona heat. He has a soft spot for elderly customers and makes sure they are taken care of fairly.

He has turned down jobs where a customer wanted something done the wrong way — topping a tree, making a cut that would hurt it long-term, or doing work he could not stand behind. He would rather lose the job than do bad work.

He is not building a faceless company. He is building something he can be proud of. Something his grandmother would recognize: honest work, done right, for people who deserve to be treated well.

The goal, eventually, is to grow the team, bring on employees and managers, and build something that runs on its own. A real business. The kind of retirement you build with your hands.

For now, when you text Bynum Tree and Landscape, Odis is the one who answers. He is the one who shows up. He is the one who does the work.
