"Everything went very well.  Ammon is very knowledgeable and professional, and the crew worked hard.  The trunk diameter of the dead tree was larger than our chain saw could handle, so very happy to hire the job out to a competent tree removal expert.

"We needed a stump removed from a tree that had been growing out an old larger tree stump. That older stump was right up against a fence line and they were able to remove both stumps without damaging the fence. It was in a difficult location to reach in our backyard with the equipment but they were able to make it work. The communication was great through the process and the work was very well done."

"Mike and his crew at WRTS did an excellent job. They arrived everyday on time. They removed all the trees and stumps as promised. Communications with Mike were timely, and after every day on the job, they cleaned up before leaving for the day. Watching Mike drop 125’ trees exactly where they needed to go was very impressive. 10 of the trees removed from our yard were within 30’ of our home. Not one even fell close to the house, and he was working in a very tight space. Mike’s entire crew were very polite, and they all are very hard working fellows. We couldn’t be happier with the work. You will not go wrong with White River Tree Service!"

"Initially, I wanted the tree removed entirely, but Mark talked me out of it, even though it presumably would have been more money to them if they removed it.  He convinced me that it was a nice tree, but it just needed some work to get it cleaned up and out from over the house.  He came out promptly and gave me a very reasonable quote.  Some other things came up, so I couldn't do the work right then, but he nevertheless honored his quote when I called back several months later.  His crew was timely and very efficient, and they cleaned up after themselves nicely.  They did a great job navigating around some power lines and such.  The tree now looks great, and clearing out all those branches definitely improved the house's look and light in that corner.  Plus, I now don't have to worry about limbs on the roof or needles clogging my drains!  I would definitely call Mark again if (more like when) I need tree work.  They did a fantastic job!

"NW Arbor Care removed a large Alder tree from our backyard. The crew that came was professional, friendly, and super efficient. They finished the job in less than 2 hours which was super impressive. They did a great job cleaning up our yard and protecting our house while hauling everything out of our backyard. I would definitely use them again."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Auburn, WA

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.
