"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."

"Had 7 very large trees plus a bunch of various size stumps removed for a very good deal. Their guys had all of them out with a crane and grinder within a few hours, despite my awkward driveway and the trees being near the house. Cleaned up nicely as well."

"M&T offered a very reasonable quote for tree removal and stump grinding . They removed 7, medium to large oaks, several small trees around the yard, all stumps were ground down completely. We were in communication by phone and email, all responses were quick, and they addressed my questions/requests immediately, to my complete satisfaction. Leo and his crew works quickly and masterfully. Not one adjacent bush, tree, or structure was damaged. They brought down a large double oak situated about 5' from our fence. Fence to the left, septic field to the right. They gingerly brought down the crown of the tree between the tree and the fence, totally avoiding any undue disruption to our septic field. The fence was not damaged at all. All trees and limbs were picked up and taken away. The yard was left clean. I referred M&T to a neighbor, they already have a job scheduled with them . I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. They know what they are doing."

"They arrived a little early. They were careful and didn't damage anything, including my yard (see picture). The technology of their equipment was impressive. It only took them two hours to do everything including cutting and shredding the two trees. They cleaned up everything. I was very pleased and gave them a tip for their excellent service."

"Luis responded immediately to my call. He came to my house within an hour of our conversation. He gave me a quote on the spot, and completed my four stump removals the same day. His quote was very reasonable and his crew was very professional. I plan to have him back to trim my trees in the fall. I highly recommend Advanced Tree Pros! Susan Jones"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Chapel Hill, 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.
