"The ExTreeme Tree team completely transformed our backyard. Our overgrown magnolia tree looks substantially better now. We no longer worry about branches over our (or neighbors) home. The team went above and beyond. They were helpful, worked quickly and even helped our neighbor. They are now our go-to tree experts."

"I asked Green Lane Tree Services to remove a huge, dying agave (century plant) with a house-high bloom that was tilting close to our utility wires. They worked carefully and even managed to get the stump out manually, without harming the surrounding succulents. They also took out an old plum tree that storms had brought down, doing the job without damaging any of the plantings around that tree (we decided together not to take the stump out in this instance due to the proximity of other plants -- they consulted me on each question that came up during the work). They pruned an out-of-control bougainvillea and cut down a couple very tall, but dead, cypress trees. Finally, they cleaned everything up perfectly, and even sawed the plum tree into logs for us. And to top it all off, they charged considerably less than the quote I got from another tree service."

"He was quick, communicative, and partnered with me to achieve a vision I was figuring out to redo some really old boxwoods. Gave a clear quote and expectations and gave recommendations through the process which I greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed working with him!"

"When I 1st moved into my home I bought earlier this year . EB tree care took out a huge dead tree from my backyard that was extremely overgrown could have damaged the house if it were to fall over with the condition it was in . They came in right away took care of it and even removed the stump. Great work and cleaned it up So well you’d never guess a tree was ever there ."

"Ricardo (owner of the company), along with his brother Eliseo (who came to the house to give us the estimate), were both professional made the experience go very smoothly. The estimate was right on for what I wanted to pay. As I have a large yard, the worked on both back and front yard trimming everything from topping off 15ft. trees (natural look, not just a straight cut), to large branches on the Juniper trees. Cut down 4 large Oleanders. Trimmed many bushes, etc. Brought in a large chipper, cleaned up everything from the yard to the street. The project was down by 3 workers, Eliseo and Ricardo. They came on time the day the work was scheduled. Got right to work. I will be hiring them again. I can highly recommend them."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in El Cerrito, 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.
