About Rice And Company Tree Service

Rice And Company Tree Service is based in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, where urban tree care comes with its own set of challenges. Mature birch, spruce, and cottonwood trees are a defining feature of Anchorage neighborhoods, but they require skilled hands to manage safely near the dense mix of homes, power lines, and busy streets. The company holds a 5-star rating and serves a city where tree-related calls spike sharply after windstorms rolling in off Cook Inlet. Local experience here isn't just convenient, it's essential.

Services & Process

Rice And Company handles the full spectrum of urban tree work, including the careful removal of large spruce and birch trees in established Anchorage neighborhoods where space is limited and neighboring properties are close. Precision trimming keeps tree canopies healthy while clearing branches away from rooflines, gutters, and utility lines that run through most residential streets. Tree health assessments are particularly valuable in Anchorage, where spruce bark beetle pressure and root damage from frozen ground cycles can weaken trees long before visible decline sets in. Emergency response after wind events is another common call.

Service Area

Rice And Company Tree Service serves Anchorage and its surrounding communities, including Eagle River, Chugiak, and areas along the Hillside. Properties throughout the Anchorage Bowl, from Midtown to South Anchorage, fall within the company's regular service range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tree removal typically cost in Anchorage?
Pricing in Anchorage varies based on tree size, species, location, and how difficult access is for equipment. A small birch in an open yard costs significantly less than a 60-foot spruce wedged between a house and a fence line. Getting an on-site estimate is the only reliable way to get an accurate number.
What should I do if a tree falls on my property after a storm?
First, stay clear of downed trees, especially if there's any chance they're in contact with power lines. Call your utility provider if lines are involved, then contact a tree service for emergency cleanup. Anchorage gets strong wind events off Cook Inlet, and having a crew's number on hand before a storm is always a smart move.
How do I tell a birch tree from a cottonwood, and does it matter for tree care?
Paper birch has distinctive white peeling bark while cottonwoods are taller with rougher, furrowed bark and release fluffy seeds in early summer. It matters for care because they have different vulnerabilities, different pruning needs, and different wood characteristics that affect how they're safely removed.
Are tree services in Anchorage insured and licensed?
Reputable companies carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, which protects you if something goes wrong on your property. Alaska requires business licensing, and ISA-certified arborists have passed national standards for tree care knowledge. Always ask for proof of insurance before work begins.
Can a tree service help with roots damaging my sidewalk or foundation?
Yes, root pruning or full tree removal is sometimes the right call when roots are causing structural damage to sidewalks, driveways, or building foundations. A professional can assess whether removing specific roots will compromise the tree's stability or if removal is the more practical long-term solution.
How often should trees in Anchorage be professionally trimmed?
Most healthy trees benefit from a professional inspection and light pruning every three to five years, though trees near power lines or structures may need attention more frequently. Anchorage's wet springs and heavy snow years can accelerate branch stress, so an annual visual check by the homeowner is also a good habit.
