About Ratliff Tree Service
Family-Owned and Operated in Columbia, MO Since 1998
From Family Farming to Tree Removal
It all started when Arthur sold his farm in northern Missouri and moved his family to Columbia where he started going door to door spreading the word of his new tree and stump removal business. His hard work and determination built our company into what it is today.
Family has always been very important in Arthur’s life and in his business. Over the years each one of his four kids has worked for him in some way. In 2005 his son Scott moved back to Columbia and joined his dad in the family business. Scott’s wife Natalie joined the business full-time in 2010. In 2013 Arthur turned over control of the business to Scott and Natalie, who will continue to operate the family business with the same values of honesty, hard work and determination.
