"Dale, the owner of River View Construction n crew, constructed a 3 car detached garage at my property. He is a good communicator, clearly a very experienced contractor, a great coordinator n has a talented crew. In spite of this summers intense heat, Dale and his crew prepared the site for the; footers, foundation walls, slab, apron n sidewalk, and, finished all the concrete work. RV Construction also; framed, roofed n sided the structure. And, installed; windows, garage n a pedistrian doors. A shed roof was also added to protect the pedistrian door. Grading was also provided to finish the grade n slope of the yard. The project was completed within budget and schedule. I recommend this firm n general contractor for other construction projects. And, will rehire RV Construction for other projects."

"Wow! My friend recommended Brandt's Lawn Care to me so I gave them a call. I already had spoken with two other companies, but I decided to give these guys a call anyway. I'm so glad I did. They were quick to come over and give me an estimate. When I met them, they were super nice and very knowledgeable Arborists. He gave me a quote on the spot and was able to schedule me within days! This is not how it went with the other two companies. When they arrived, they were very careful around my landscaping and stopped cutting for my wife to walk in and out of the house for lunch. These guys communicated well and frankly, did a better job than I was anticipating. In fact, my neighbors have already commented on their work and one of them hired them to do work for them. These guys are true professionals and a step above the rest. Anyone that is familiar with the Lake of the Ozark region, knows how hard it is to hire someone and then actually get quality and timely work done from them. Brandt's Lawn Car is amazing! This was truly the best encounter I have had since living here. I've served in the Army for over 20 years and have owned a number of properties that needed tree work completed. These guys are the best I've seen. Call them. I guarantee you will be happy you did. Ralph Haney"

"I have used several different tree services and I thought they were the best I have ever used. They were outstanding. I called them they came out quickly within a few days. The crew was courteous and afterwards did a great clean up and showed me what they had done. I would highly recommend them."

"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."

"My tree was trimmed off the roof of my house the way I wanted , I had an added request of trimming limbs off my fence on the same tree and he took care of those while he was there as well. The brush and leaves were cleaned and raked, my yard looked the way it did before he got there. I would definitely use this tree service again and recommend to all friends."

"Hired B&B to cutup and remove a large tree that fell over in a storm. It was a difficult job because of being on a hill side. The crew did a great job. Would definitely recommend B&B."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

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.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

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.
