Customers say: Quick response

"I had 16 stumps removed. I am very pleased with the outcome. Some of the tree stumps had significant roots extending near ground level. The stump grinding was not only the stump but also the extending roots. A stump might have been 2 feet in diameter, but the grinding was 6 feet in diameter to get the roots."

"I am very pleased to have worked with Allen and Son's Tree Service to have three large trees removed, the stumps ground and some other large trees trimmed. Their crew arrived on-time, and they completed all of the work with efficiency and professionalism. They removed all debris and left the area very clean. The price quoted was reasonable, and there were no additional surprise charges. I highly recommend Allen and Son's Tree Service and will contact them in the future for additional work needed."

"Ted and team arrived on time, and after a long day with little breaks took out the four trees, cut them into manageable logs and trimmed large branches off trees that overhung the roof. Every section or branches was carefully lowered and cut up and chipped. I kept checking in and they explained what they did and still had left to do. Every team member worked very hard. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work performed. I would hire then again. Ted and team were very professional."

"Could not have asked for a better company. Showed up on time, worked consistently and hard, cleaned up behind themselves, cut the stump down as far as they could, and removed all debris from the area. Courteous and professional workers. Pricing was very reasonable and very easy to work with. Highly recommend them,"

"They climbed the trees and pruned them, giving them a clean, safe and professional look and they were very responsive to my questions and concerns. They used a chipper to grind up the fallen and removed branches and hauled the debris away. They were prompt, professional, and did an excellent job! I highly recommend them."

"I have used Freestate Tree Service before, as they always do a great job. This experience was not different. I had to have a dying Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) removed, approximately 30 feet tall. They promptly responded to my initial e-mail to have them come out and check to see if the tree was able to be saved (it wasn't, which was no surprise) and e-mailed an estimate the next day. The other two companies (one wasn't able to get someone out to look at the tree until 2 weeks from my e-mail) and the one that did stop by gave an over-the-phone quote that was significantly higher. The Freestate guys showed up bright and early to start cutting away at the tree. They always seem to do quite a lot of work in a rather short amount of time. By the afternoon the tree was gone and they were cleaning up."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Fort-howard, 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.
