"Very prompt with estimates and on time to do the job1 Did a terrific job removing a large tree stump in our back yard, a tree stump, from a tree that came down in Ida, in the front of our house and a neighbor's tree stump, that had grown under our fence and foundation, from the side of our house. Mr. Travis also removed the fence and filled the stump holes with dirt. Very professional, Would definitely use them again."

"I live on a corner lot and the plants had become overgrown. I hired Noah to dig up 2 beds of Iris and replace them with azaleas. He trimmed my magnolia tree and pruned other bushes. He also repaired my irrigation system and replaced the downspout and put a drainage pop-up.he also removed all old mulch and put down fresh cypress mulch. Noah and his crew did a fantastic job. He did everything he quoted me to do and they did it in record time!! I already have plans to call him early next year for sod and lawn work. Noah was very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. He gets my A+!!"

"Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend! I couldn't be more pleased with Hank's work! From start to finish, he demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. He arrived promptly as scheduled, which I truly appreciated given my busy schedule. What really stood out was Hank's meticulous attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explained everything clearly, and executed the work with precision. It's rare to find someone who takes such care in their craft - nothing was overlooked, and the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. Hank's professionalism extended beyond just his technical skills. He was courteous, respectful of my home, and ensured everything was left clean and in order when the job was complete. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality service from someone who truly cares about getting it right, I highly recommend Hank. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects."

"We had a wonderful experience with Brian Tubre, owner of Ring Tree Service. Brian came first and evaluated our job and provided a detailed invoice for the service. He is very involved in the entire removal and we had several hours to speak during the project. His knowledge and confidence were excellent. The price for the service was very fair. I would not hesitate to have them back for another removal and would gladly recommend Ring for people needing a tree or trees removed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
