Our Story
Lubbers & Sons Tree Care was founded in 2020 by Tommy and Sosha with a simple but powerful vision: to build a tree company that treats both trees and people with care. And that’s exactly what we do.
At L&S, we believe that regular folks deserve real opportunities – upward mobility, hands-on learning, and a team culture built on mutual respect. We invest in our people and lead with reciprocity.
That same care guides our tree work. Grounded in science, curiosity, and industry best practices, we do things the right way – avoiding shortcuts, harmful pruning, and anything that compromises long-term tree health or the safety of people or property. Because great tree care starts with great people, and great people deserve a workplace that supports them.
Since day one, we’ve focused on doing right by our crew, our clients, and the trees we’re trusted to care for.
Meet the Team
Tommy
Owner/operator, crew leader, climbing arborist (and true climbing enthusiast), part spider monkey, loving father. Former expert carpenter, master of many useful skills, chainsaw artist, mushroom forager. A true leader and teacher who loves bringing new climbers into the industry safely. The most talent you’ll ever see backing up a trailer– if trick trailer driving competitions existed, he’d take home the prize money every time.
Sosha
Owner/operator, ISA certified arborist, consultant, plant health nerd, rigging and ground support specialist, administrative wizard, wearer of many hats. When she’s not at work, you can find her playing banjo and singing on the porch, painting, or at the gym preparing for her next MMA fight (she’s a professional athlete)! She truly believes you can do and have it all and she’s out here proving you can be both tiny and mighty.
Damon
Crew member, mini-skid whisperer, son of Tommy. Part of the original crew, Damon supported the family business in our early days, all while chasing his dreams (this kid is an absolute phenom on a skateboard). These days he is mostly off learning other trades (he’s an electrician apprentice), but when we’re lucky he fills in on the crew. His quick wit and goofy sense of humor help any crew get through the day.
Ben
Crew member, climber, hard worker. This former wildland firefighter and chainsaw enthusiast has lived in 9 states (in 5 years), is certified (by USFS) in traditional crosscut saw, and spends most of his free time these days taking care of a baby (his baby, not a random one)! He’s into all things outdoors, rugby, cooking, and his record and book collections are impressive…but they’ve got nothing on his wealth of socks (worth over $350, and we’re willing to bet he’s being modest).
Autumn
Tree healthcare specialist, office maestro and, certified gem of a human. When not at work, she loves being in the great outdoors hiking, camping, or kayaking! With a dad who instilled a great love of nature conservation in her childhood, Autumn is also passionate about preserving native plant species in her home state of North Carolina. She is also a homesteader, artist, writer, free spirited explorer (infatuated with the American West), bibliophile, and drinker of copious amounts of coffee.
Morgan
Crew member, climber trainee, curious and always motivated to learn. Morgan spends most days outside—hiking, foraging, or canoeing when not at work (working with trees is a perfect fit). Skilled with a welder and quick with a fix, often building something out of scrap metal or working on a chopper, Morgan is always up to something cool. Also a musician, an avid reader, and a friend to all dogs.
