"I cannot say enough good things about Robert and the team at Inspire Tree Services. About 20 years ago, my son grew an evergreen from a seed for an elementary school project. I moved it with us through several homes, and it eventually grew to 8 feet tall, too close to our foundation. For over two years, I searched for someone willing to relocate it, but everyone I contacted only offered to cut it down. I was heartbroken! Then I found Robert through Angi. He assured me he could save and relocate it! We also hired him to remove an aging silver maple that posed a risk to our home and neighbors. His team carefully removed it piece by piece, lifting sections over our two-story house without incident. They also ground the stump, relocated our beloved evergreen, and trimmed and treated our lilac. Robert and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Both trees are looking healthy! It’s refreshing to find tree experts who care about preserving trees."
Prior to removal, the Tree was located close to the home.

"I hired Stump Pros to grind my stumps and the work was far beyond what I expected . Not only was the professionalism at an all time high, the equipment was state of the art and as for the prices you won’t find a better comparison as I interviewed multiple companies and Stump Pros was the best. If you want a job well done…go with Aaron@Stomp Pros"

"Elian and his crew were very efficient time wise. I needed the job done the same day and was surprised at how fast they took my oaks down. I have a few others that we might consider bringing down and i will definitely be calling him back."

"Max and Taylor were awesome to work with! They came out to remove a big tree in my front yard and did stump grinding too. The whole crew was super friendly, professional, and got everything done quickly. Their customer service was excellent from start to finish — great communication, fair pricing, and just really nice people to work with. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing tree work done! We will be using Big Lake Tree Service again in the future! Thank you."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Ann Arbor, MI

Always transport chainsaws with the engine off and chain brake engaged. Use the protective bar cover provided by the rental company to prevent accidental contact with the cutting chain. Position the chainsaw securely in your vehicle to prevent movement during transit, ideally in a truck bed or trunk rather than the passenger compartment. 

For gas models, ensure the fuel cap is tight and position the saw to minimize potential leakage. Keep the chainsaw away from passengers and other items that could be damaged.

Proper safety equipment is essential when operating any chainsaw. At minimum, you should have eye protection (safety glasses or a face shield), hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs), cut-resistant gloves, chainsaw chaps or pants, and sturdy boots with good traction. 

Many rental facilities offer basic safety kits alongside chainsaw rentals. If you'll be using chainsaws regularly, investing in quality personal safety gear is advisable. Never operate a chainsaw without appropriate protective equipment, regardless of the job size.

While rental companies will rent chainsaws to beginners, inexperience significantly increases safety risks. If you've never used a chainsaw before, request a demonstration from the rental staff and thoroughly review the operator's manual before starting. Begin with smaller, more manageable cutting tasks to build comfort with the tool's operation. 

For significant cutting jobs, consider either taking a chainsaw safety course first or hiring professionals instead. The learning curve for safe chainsaw operation is steep, and caution is paramount.

If mechanical problems develop during your rental, immediately cease operation and contact the rental company. Most reputable rental businesses will either provide a replacement chainsaw or repair the equipment if the breakdown resulted from normal use rather than misuse. Document the issue with photographs when possible and maintain records of when you reported the problem. 

Having your rental agreement readily available when you call will expedite the resolution process. The rental company should adjust your rental period to account for any downtime.
