"Cory and his crew called back, came by and cleaned up 2 medium sized stumps 21” and 17” diameter. Both stumps were sticking up like giant sore thumbs. Now my yard has nice flat spots and ready for grass seed . He’s very communicative and professional, and oh so reasonably priced. I’m keeping his business card bc when I need him next, Schwake will be the first one I call. I highly recommend him for yard cleanup, tree care, and storm damage removal."

"Fantastic! Alonso Landscape exceeded my expectations. I needed a huge tree removed from the front yard, tree roots removed, stump removed and the old, patchy lawn removed and replaced with sod. The team worked diligently and, more importantly, safely. The new lawn looks amazing - neighbors have commented about how good it looks. I will be a repeat customer when the time comes for the backyard to be spruced up! For the amount of work they did and for how impeccably well they did it, the cost of the project was low. I highly recommend this team."

"Great price, quick response and amazing service. After they were done, the yard was pristine. Tree gone and crab apples blow out of the yard and removed as well. Would definitely recommend Tyler and his crew to anyone. Best decision we could have made."

"Following a bad storm in June, we had some damage to a large silver maple in our back yard. We called multiple arborist services in the area, and the only place that actually answered the phone was Canopy Tree Care. Despite how busy all tree services were at that point, Josh was out to check out our damaged tree within a day. He offered suggestions for the short term, explaining very candidly that he had other more urgent jobs, completely understandably - someone with a tree branch through their house is definitely more urgent than the minor damage on our maple! So we set a time for him to come back and give us a quote on both the storm-damaged maple and on trimming three somewhat overgrown river birches in the front yard. The birches were growing closer to an overhead electrical wire, plus they were just really shaggy and unkempt-looking. Josh was very receptive to my preference for keeping the birch branches as long as possible without actually being in the way. Josh provided the quote by email after I reminded him of it (he has been busy this summer). The first date we set was too rainy/stormy to do the work. The second date we set also had to be postponed because of a more urgent job (someone whose home was in danger due to a fallen branch). Both postponements were promptly and clearly communicated on the morning of the day when we had planned the work to be done. Third time was the charm, though, and Josh showed up with his crew and equipment promptly first thing in the morning. They did an absolutely incredible job! They didn't go tearing right into cutting stuff up; they started out by discussing together what was needed and how to trim effectively in a way that would be beneficial to the trees as well as producing the most aesthetically pleasing result. They spent several hours working on the birches first, and the difference was absolutely incredible - they're glorious and beautiful now! Josh also thoughtfully trimmed the branches over where my spouse parks his car a little higher, which my spouse appreciates very much. The silver maple went a little faster, but the same care and attention to both the tree's health and to its appearance were brought to that as well. The crew did a fantastic job of cleaning up as well, removing and grinding up all the branches they took down. They even found the little pile of branches we had waiting for the next city brush pickup and cleared that out as well! Josh's evident love and appreciation for healthy, well-maintained trees was evident throughout the process. We are very, very happy with the result, and we will definitely contact Canopy Tree Service the next time we need help with our trees."

"Nick and his workers showed up on time and cut down, removed and did the stump work on a huge dead elm tree. I was very impressed with their work ethic, and he even agreed to cut down a tree for my neighbor, and delivered some of the dead wood to our neighbor who heats with wood, has six kids and really needed it. Totally impressed with the work he and his crew did and at an affordable rate! Totally would re-hire the company and highly recommend his services to everyone!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Cottage Grove, WI

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.
