"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."

"Excellent service. I called to setup a consultation for the removal of a dead tree in my backyard. Their foreman arrived on the same day (on a weekend) and gave me a quote to remove the dead tree as well as some brush in the general area. Work was completed during that week and the crew did an excellent job cleaning everything up. Would definitely hire again."

"Charles Walters and his crew from AAA Tree Service did a great job removing a large, dead maple tree and stump from my front yard in Arlington. The crew arrived on time and performed in a diligent, workmanlike manner. The cost estimate was competitive. AAA Tree Service should be on your shortlist of bidders. They truly are the “King of Trees.”"

"Great Job cutting down a very large maple tree, pulverizing the stump, hull away wood and debris, and excellent cleanup. Was willing to plant replacement tree also. Best price quoted. Thank you Max and crew."

Customers say: Quality work

"Jake responded quickly with a quote and was very knowledgeable and responsive to my questions. He and his team did exactly what was expected and on a quick time frame. Entire team was friendly, professional and easy to work with. I had trees cut down, dead sections cut off, tree and branch piles removed, and stumps ground down. I would absolutely recommend his service and will be calling him again if I need anything else done."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Fairfax Station, VA

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.
