"Very quick response to my inquiry and showed up before the time he said he would. I had 3 stumps removed and he even cleaned up other tree debris for no extra charge. Excellent service and pricing."

"This was the first company to reach out to me after I sent a request for tree stump removal. They were quick to come out and quote it for me at a fair price! The turn around time to actually perform the work was quick as well. I even added a couple extra stumps and other wood and debris that needed cleaned up and taken away that he was gladly willing to do for a fair price as well! Highly recommend this company for any tree service needs!"

"I have lived in my current residence for 46 years. I have two 70-foot tall ash trees in my backyard. I have the trees pruned every 4-5 years. This was the finest tree pruning work I have received in all that time. The owner should be considered to be a "Tree Whisperer." He removed dead limbs and shaped the trees in a beautiful manner. I expressly requested that tree limbs that could pose a threat to power lines be removed. In the past, other companies promised that they would perform this service when they provided the estimate but then offered a litany of excuses why they couldn't do the work at the time of service. The owner of this firm completed all of the work he promised. I could not be more pleased. After 46 years, I have finally found a quality tree pruning company. You will find no better tree service in the Denver metropolitan area !!"

"Otillo was very responsive to our tree cutting needs and hauls away the branches vs chipping onsite. He uses an electric saw on the end of a long pole, climbs into the tree when necessary. He did 3 large mature trees, removed one small tree. Does stump grinding when he has enough jobs lined up to justify renting a grinder, needs to return for our stump. Runs efficient operation, shows up as promised. Accepts payment on completion."

"Top-Notch tree service has really lived up to its name every time I've used them. They've trimmed trees for me as well as taking out trees that unfortunately had to go. Their people are extremely skilled at what they do and have taken on Jobe requiring a huge crane to complete. I've literally never been concerned about any aspect of what they advised needing to be done."

"John is an incredibly knowledgeable arborist who clearly understands trees and the issues they face here in Colorado. We had two pines that he ended up removing and replacing with Junipers. He gave us options to treat or replace. John took the time to walk through both options plus provided several tree replacement options to chose from. Highly recommend his expertise and honest approach."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Boulder, CO

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.
