Transparent Referral Process

How RAM Tree Service Works

We are an independent contractor referral and dispatch service. Here is exactly what happens from your initial phone call to completed tree work.

01

Call Our Dispatch Line

Call (321) 677-9055. Tell us about your tree situation—whether it is a hazardous lean, fallen storm limb, or routine trimming—and your neighborhood.

02

Matched with a Local Pro

We connect you with an independent local tree service contractor who operates in your specific municipality across Tarrant or Parker County.

03

On-Site Evaluation

The contractor visits your property, inspects tree health, structure, and obstacles (power lines, fences, tight gates), and provides a written estimate.

04

You Decide With Zero Pressure

Review the proposed scope, wood disposal terms, and pricing. You are never obligated to hire. Work proceeds only when you are 100% satisfied.

Consumer Safety: What to Verify Before Tree Work Begins

Under Texas law, tree service businesses are not licensed as a unified state trade. Because tree removal involves heavy rigging, chainsaws, and overhead hazards, we advise every property owner to ask the responding contractor for:

  • ✓ Current Certificate of General Liability Insurance
  • ✓ Written scope detailing wood haul-away vs. chipping
  • ✓ Municipal tree permit compliance (e.g., Fort Worth, Southlake)
  • ✓ Tree preservation & oak wilt sanitation measures
North Texas Tree Environment

Understanding Fort Worth Tree Health, Soils & Storm Dynamics

Fort Worth’s urban forest spans diverse ecological belts—from the dense blackland clays of Arlington Heights, Fairmount, and Ryan Place to the rocky limestone escarpments of Benbrook and the sandy Cross Timbers post oak savannahs in Keller. Managing trees in this environment requires an understanding of North Texas weather extremes and local soil mechanics.

Oak Wilt Protection

Active across Tarrant County. Avoid non-emergency pruning from Feb 15 to June 15 to stop nitidulid sap beetles from spreading lethal fungal spores.

City Forestry Permits

Fort Worth requires permits for significant trees measuring 24+ inches DBH (18+ inches for post oaks and blackjack oaks). Hazardous trees qualify for exemptions.

Builder-Tree Senescence

1970s and 80s Arizona ash, silver maples, and Bradford pears are reaching their 40-year lifespan, suffering from heart rot and severe spring storm splitting.

Severe Weather Cycles

Summer heat stress and prolonged droughts weaken root anchorage, creating sudden structural tree failures during 70+ mph thunderstorm downbursts.

Did you know? Post oaks are among the slowest-growing native trees in Tarrant County. Because their root systems cannot tolerate compaction or excessive lawn watering, preserving established post oaks during residential landscape changes is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions: Fort Worth Tree Care

Straightforward answers about our referral service, local municipal permit thresholds, and what to expect during tree work.

Is RAM Tree Service a tree care contractor?
No. RAM Tree Service is an independent telephone referral and dispatch directory based in west Fort Worth. We do not employ tree crews or perform tree trimming, removal, or stump grinding directly. When you call our line at (321) 677-9055, we connect you with an independent local tree contractor who serves your neighborhood. All estimates, contracts, and tree operations are conducted directly between you and the responding professional.
Does it cost anything to call or receive a tree removal estimate?
Calling our dispatch line is 100 percent free with zero obligation. The independent tree service contractors in our network typically provide free on-site evaluations and itemized written estimates for residential and commercial properties throughout Fort Worth and Tarrant County.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree from my Fort Worth yard?
Yes, if the tree meets the City of Fort Worth's definition of a 'significant tree' under the Urban Forestry Ordinance. Generally, native hardwoods measuring 24 inches or greater in trunk diameter at breast height (or 18 inches for native post oaks and blackjack oaks) require a city permit. Dead, dying, or severely hazardous trees are exempt from mitigation fees, but photographic proof or written arborist verification is recommended.
How quickly can an emergency tree crew respond after a storm?
During severe weather events in North Texas, our emergency dispatch line operates 24/7. Crews can typically reach properties in Fort Worth, Benbrook, and Arlington within 1 to 3 hours for critical structural emergencies, such as trees on roofs or blocked driveways.
What qualifications should I check before hiring a tree contractor in Texas?
Because the State of Texas does not issue a specific state arborist license, property owners should ask any responding tree contractor for a current Certificate of General Liability Insurance (typically $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in coverage), workers' compensation protection for aerial climbers, and compliance with ANSI A300 pruning standards.
What geographic areas around Fort Worth do you cover?
From our central hub on Hulen Street in west Fort Worth, our referral network connects callers across a 35-minute radius, including Arlington, Benbrook, Burleson, North Richland Hills, Mansfield, Keller, Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville, Bedford, Aledo, and Weatherford.
Can contractors safely remove trees over tight backyards and power drops?
Yes. Independent contractors utilize specialized residential rigging techniques, including friction lowering ropes, pulleys, and mini-skid steers designed to pass through 36-inch pedestrian gates. For structurally compromised or massive trees over roofs, mobile cranes hoist limbs clear without property contact.
When is the safest time to trim oak trees in Tarrant County?
In accordance with Texas A&M Forest Service guidelines, the safest window to trim live oaks and red oaks is between November 1 and January 31, when trees are dormant and sap-feeding beetles are inactive. Property owners must avoid non-essential pruning from February 15 to June 15 to prevent oak wilt disease transmission.
