"Oscar and the entire crew were absolutely THE BEST start to finish!! They went above and beyond to make sure they had completed every request---which they did---and BEYOND! They ground stumps, removed trees and root systems, helped me answer questions about future landscaping, and my yard, driveway and surrounding areas were cleaner when they left than they were when they arrived! It is WITHOUT HESITATION I recommend them to anyone looking to hire a team for anything yard-related, and will call them ANYTIME in the future when I need work done. They were simply AMAZING!!!"

"I couldn't be more pleased with A+ Tree and Crane. Dealing with them was quick and easy at every step in the process. Their estimator came out to my house the day following my request. She reviewed the scope of the job, provided a detailed quote and answered my questions. After I accepted their bid, they scheduled the work two days later. On the day of the job, a full team of workers (6-8) arrived with a full complement of required equipment. They made quick work of removing the tree, grinding the stump and thoroughly cleaning the area. I would not hesitate to use A+ for future tree removal work."

"Johnathan came out and gave me a quote to remove a maple tree in our front yard and grind out the stump. His crew arrived on schedule and cut down the tree. Next day they came back and took out the stump. Easy to work with and I felt the price was right for the work performed."

"Donnie and his team were great! I would recommend them to anyone! They were fast, courteous, and professional. They came in fully removed 3 trees and ground the stumps. They also trimmed 3 other trees. After the work was complete, they cleaned up after themselves. Now my yard looks so much better. I will be using their services again. Give them a try and you won't be sorry."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Apex, NC

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.
