"Chris and his crew did a great job, and offered us the best deal out of multiple quotes we got from other companies. They were punctual, respectful, and overall very nice to work with. They did a great job cutting down a large hollow branch that was hanging over our house, and cleaned up the yard well. We plan to hire them back in the spring for another tree job. Highly recommend this company."

"Charles was professional and caring about doing exactly what I needed done. The tree was dead and tilted towards my fence and I needed it to fall the opposite direction into the woods. By use of rope and pully he managed to have the tree fall exactly between other trees. They picked up and raked the area after the tree was cut up. Great people and outstanding work. Would strongly recommend Ritzco Tree Service."

"Trees, house, garages, outbuildings, and electric lines on one "tight" acre setting on a steep hillside. Hired them for one job because it was cheaper than I expected; then I hired them to remove more trees on the upper area of my acre...very hard work, dangerous, and it can get expensive...but I was very glad to get it done. They did a good job."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.
