Anyone know of a place that can change out the axles on my landscape trailer and do the job right? I'm thinking of putting torsion axles on and moving the fenders higher if necessary. Seems to be the easiest fix.

You really want to spend all that money to make the floor a few inches lower? You seem to make problems out of things that don't bother 99.9% of anyone else.

Why - are current axles damaged?
 
Commissioning someone for custom work and then hoping that they do a good job and the finished product meets your expectations is never "easy" and usually not cheap.

The easy fix is to shop for a trailer that is already built and meets your usage case better then trade yours for it.

The easiest way would be to DIY, you don't need to be a pro mechanic to change axles on trailer.
 
The trailer being too high isn't the only issue. It's the axle to frame clearance that is the issue. THE axles pretty much rest against the frame.

Is it spring under or spring over?

Under. If we put the springs on top of the axle the trailer would be too high to load anything on
