"We live on a farm surrounded down a dead-end dirt road, and we have many very old trees. Some needed to come down, and some needed trimming. Gordon (whose father started the business decades ago) is incredibly knowledgeable about the care and maintenance of trees, and he and his team were the most professional service I have had the pleasure of working with. His pricing was the best I have seen and very very fair. This started with a large tree limb on our roof, and Gordon's team ended up removing multiple trees (3-4), and pruning about 8 more (they used ropes and we had several trimmers 20 or more feet in the foliage). When I say pruning - I mean some of these trees are very old and massive - with very large limbs that needed to come down. They also removed several very large (20 feet wide) bushes. One huge bush had a root structure that was massive, but Gordon had a stump grinder as large as a truck wheel and BOOM - it's was all gone in a jiffy. Numerous farmers passing by stopped by to share their amazement at how efficiently and how quickly Gordon's team worked, with one saying "by lunchtime your property looked like a hurricane came through, and by dinner there wasn't a single branch or leaf anywhere!" Gordon's team were all super polite, and except for a short lunch break, worked straight from 09:30 until about 5PM. I was amazed at how much got done in one day, and I will definitely have Gordon and his team back. I shared Gordon's number with multiple interested neighbors. One older "seen everything" neighbor farmer saw how much was done and said "so how much did you pay for all of that"? (with a little smile; think he was preparing to shake his head and chuckle the way folks do when you pay a LOT).. when I told him the total bill, his eyes opened and he immediately asked for Gordon's number. Wow... I impressed an old farmer... ! Hire Gordon; He will exceed your expectations."

"Rue did a wonderful job. Will always call him for any tree issues. He had to remove two dead trees, and one tree that had fallen during the last wind and rain storm. He arrived on time and when he was finished it was like nothing had ever happened."

"Wonderfully. Mr. Harmon's estimate was lower than any others, including one offered by a neighbor whose friend had a cherry picker truck and from whom we have been buying firewood for decades! The Tri State crew made us a priority and came within days of the initial estimate. (Only storms and rain kept them from doing it immediately.) The crew was thorough, quick, and not only cut branches up into sizes for burning, but stacked them in our wood pile! They had top notch equipment, were extremely courteous, efficient, and impeccable with their clean up. Once the tree was down, we realized that the hornet's damage had eaten away more than half of the tree's diameter at its base! We were truly in danger with this damaged tree. It was within 8 feet of our house and the branches extended over half of our roof, right over our bedroom! We live on a wooded lot and from now on, Tri State Tree Service will be our only go to for trimmed branches and tree removal. I cannot recommend them any more highly. Thank you, Mr. Harmon. Your kindness, expert advice and quick action probably saved our lives."

"I contacted five tree removal companies to provide an estimate. The Greentree guy (I am sorry he verbally told me his name, but I have forgotten it).I provided him with my list of what exactly I wanted done and I accompanied him around the yard pointing out the trees and discussing the job. He seemed to know what he was talking about and provided me with what I thought was useful information. When we were finished, he verbally gave me an estimate and gave me some information about Greentree's schedule and openings. I thanked him for his time and he left. The estimate he gave me was the lowest estimate I received, however it was not written down nor did he provide me with any supporting paperwork like all the rest. It may just be me but I was someone uncomfortable with this approach to business. It may have worked out perfectly well if I had decided to go with Greentree, and maybe they are so busy they don't need to be more business like. In any case, despite the low estimate, I was just not comfortable with Greentree. Other's may feel differently."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Dowell, MD

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.
