"Aly came on a Thursday to give an estimate and had 2 workers out the next day. They helped remove the trunk of a citrus tree that I couldn't get out myself along with trimming and orange tree and the neighbors trees that were coming over on our side which was encroaching on wires. Both the communication and work done were excellent."

"Gil Tree Service did an excellent job removing 3 Palm Trees in one day. He showed up on time and everything was handled professionally and at a reasonable cost. Joel and crew left the site cleaned up perfectly on a windy day. I recommend his services and will hire him again in the future."

"This tree service was the most reasonably prices of the companies we contacted. Their experience in t he field enabled them to work quickly and efficiently, they left the work area clean and tidy. Their tree trimming allowed more air and light into the backyard. This excellent job is not the first they have done for us and is the reason we called them again for a second job."

"Carlos phoned me within a day of my request for an estimate. He came to my house the next morning to give me an estimate and was prepared to cut the tree down, then and there. He and his team did a fantastic job! I had asked for the trunk to be cut into sections so that I might use them around my yard...they did it. All the other parts of the tree were put out onto the street for collection. The bits and pieces that were previously covering the lack of fence were all put back into place, better than before. Wow, it's so nice to have the work done so professionally, by a friendly team, and in a very timely manner! The price was fair and averaged out to be less than an estimate made by a company with a Big Deal.

"PMC Tree Service was great.  My  request for a quote was answered promptly and they were able to schedule the work for two days later.  
They verified our permit and trimmed our overgrown street tree.  It is now beautifully shaped and no longer in danger of branches breaking off in a storm.  Another tree that was too close to the house was removed and two additional stumps were ground down.  I highly recommend PMC.  They arrived on time, work was performed with a minimum of disruption and noise and they cleaned up thoroughly afterwards.    Crew was so nice and professional.

"They got the vine all removed.  They removed it without doing anymore damage to the fence.  They also left some of the vine that was weaved into the fence where it was at my request.  They also hauled some debris from the side of my house that was left over from my son doing some work on my bathroom."

"A&Y Performed a tree removal for me. It was approximately an 80-foot tree very close to my house and backyard deck. I was a bit nervous as I had seen "TREE Fails" on YouTube. Their insurance was current and complete so that helped my nervousness:) The crew arrived on time and had the tree removed by noon. I was very impressed and highly recommend A&Y for tree removal. They left the worksite clean and split the rounds and stacked the wood for me (I wanted it for firewood). I felt the price was fair and the customer service was excellent. I would absolutely hire this company again. Thank you Yohana:)"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Capitola, CA

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.
