Customers say: Super punctual

"They removed 12 trees, all of which were within 10 feet of the house. They arrived on time and started promptly. This is a full service tree company and will use crane, shredder, stump grinder, and bobcat. The team of six moves fast and efficiently. There will be some disruption if you have a small suburban street like mine, but it was minimal and they guided traffic as necessary. The entire job was finished and cleaned up in less than 4 hours. No damage to my house or property and they did a great job removing all debris. Keep in mind these were huge trees ranging from 55 to 70 feet tall. It was a large undertaking and they handled it very well."

"S.A. Arborcare came out to remove a dying cherry tree from our front yard. It was a fairly small tree, about 18-20 feet tall. It took about 30 minutes total to cut, remove and clean up the debris. I paid $550 which seemed like a lot, but I wanted to go ahead and get it taken care of. For an additional $150, he said he could come back and grind the stump. I decided not to have that done."

"This is the second time I have used A+ Tree and Crane. Both experiences have been excellent. From the process of providing an estimate to the final removal of two trees everything has been top notch. I appreciate that the crew arrived with all the necessary equipment and a large enough crew (5) to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I would definitely call A+ Tree again."

"I highly recommend ArborPro. Brad was great. He was responsive over the phone and communicated well throughout. He came out to the house and listened to our various needs in order to write up a quote that was very fair. We had a large tree down, some smaller trees and bushes, dead limbs removed, and stumps ground. He cleared a large area and graded it at no extra cost after realizing how uneven the surface was. A few hiccups emerged throughout the process, but he handled them very well. He and his crew hauled everything away and the place looked great after. Additionally, he gave me some advice on some things I can do on my own around the property. I would definitely have him out again."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Cary, 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.
