Our story

Country-raised, fully insured

Cody Ridgeway grew up running a chainsaw on his family's land outside Jay. He started Ridgeback with one bucket truck and a reputation for working clean and safe.

Today we run three crews, a crane and a stump grinder, but you'll still get Cody on the phone for your estimate.

Common questions

Are you insured if something goes wrong?

Yes. We carry full liability and workers' comp, and we'll send the certificates before we start.

Will you work with my insurance after a storm?

We document damage with photos and can bill your insurance company directly for covered removals.

Do you haul off the wood?

Cleanup and haul-off are included unless you'd like to keep the firewood. Plenty of folks do.

How much does a tree removal cost?

It depends on size, location and access. Estimates are free and we'll give you a firm price on site.
