"We can’t praise this company enough. They cut down trees that were blocking our view of the lake. We didn’t realize how much work they would have to do and they never complained. We are sitting on our deck now enjoying more of the lake and boats without the trees blocking our view. We are having new railings installed tomorrow. Call Hunter. You will be happy you did!"

"Price quoted was double that of local competitors. That said, he was driving 30 miles to do the job, was very knowledgeable and professional, with great attention to detail. If there's any problem with my selected contractor, Ritzco Tree Care will get the job in spite of the price. All local tree services' prices were in the same ball park, about half of Ritzco. That might just be Waynesville contractors trying to keep Rolla contractors away. Ritzco's price was very close to what I expected for a licensed, insured, certified trees service employing at least one arborist. If that proves to not be true, as mentioned, I'll cancel the local contract and move to Ritzco."

"The team was great to work with and completely understood what I wanted. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and I absolutely am. Watching them cut the tree down was really neat and they did it so I could use some of the pieces. They answered all my questions and gave me a chance to choose items. It was great to find landscaping, tree service, and lawn care all in one company plus the also have a monthly up-keep service. As great as they are, the most impressive thing was their work ethic, speed at which they completed the project, and their willingness to push long hours to make sure they completed when promised. Work with them if you can!"

"I am not real sensitive about the ruts in my yard--they will eventually fall into place....others might worry more about such things...there was no easy way to get close enough to the tree.....I suppose I could have demanded they park in my driveway, and spend three or four extra hours loading all the branches to be thrown away...that would have been unreasonable."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.
