"Josh responded quickly to my inquiry, and he removed a significant tree stump with extended above ground roots the next morning. Separately, he also ground down many unknown smaller tree and shrub stumps left by the previous homeowner. His price for each job seemed reasonable and he graciously took away upper portions of the tree stump that were not ground down. I was very happy to see a significant problem and eye sore quickly removed shortly after purchasing the house."

"The Drop Zone team was priced very comparable to 2 other quotes I received, they were able to schedule the tree removal 3 weeks earlier than the other quotes. The workers showed up on time, cut down the tree and other branches from a nearby tree that were hanging over my roof, protected my lawn and landscaping, did an excellent job of cleaning up the work site, and were personable to deal with."

"Could not have been more pleased. Jeramiah is very knowledgable and patiently helped me research and find the right trees that suited my personal preferences and my space. He even came around the next year to check on the trees to be sure they were doing well. Two years after the planting, trees are still going strong! Jeramiah is truly customer focused."

"My previous review documented the incomplete job done by M&M Tree Service, Monte Linton, owner. After Home Advisor contacted him about same, he came and did the grinding, which was left of job from 9/25/19. He ground down other stumps, for which he was not responsible, as a way of making up for untimely completion of job. Mr. Linton has a pleasant spirit and held no ill feelings for my previous review. I will hire him again, if needed."

"I had a large maple tree next to my house I needed to have removed. Earl came right out to look at it and gave me a quote I was happy with. Much less than another company who said they would need a crane that came with a ridiculous quote. Earl explained exactly what they'd do and even offered to trim some other trees. They showed up on time and before even setting things up, took steps to protect my house and property. I was amazed at how fast they were and in the end, did more than I had hoped for. My honest review is I'm happy I used Angies List and that Ruby's Tree Service responded. I have a tree in my backyard that will need to be removed next year and I can say Ruby's Tree Service will be my only call and anyone looking for tree service should definitly give them a call. Thank you Earl, Ruby and your sons."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.
