"Great job. Victor and Gabriela were extremely friendly and understanding to our needs. Large tree close to the house in the backyard. The 3 person crew had experience to drop all the limbs safely. Price was competitive for a maple with 3 large spires At 60 plus feet tall the 7 hour completion was impressive. Logging truck showed the same day and removed all the trunk pieces during stump grinding and clean up. Sad to see the big old girl go, but she took a serious lightening strike and held her own until it was time..."

"From the very beginning  they were very helpful and professional.  They shot straight from the hip and gave me all the information I asked for as well as information I did not even think of.  Their communication was very pleasant.  I was happy that I was able to do all my communication via e-mail with them since I work during the day and its hard for me to get to the phone.  I had some concerns with leaving the stump but they gave me sound advice on how to kill the stump off.   would use these guys in a heartbeat again and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for tree service!

"Very good.  Performed a very delicate job while cutting down the entire fully grown ash tree, while avoiding, cable, telephone and power lines, two garages and a shed.  No damage to anything.  Absolutely and incredible job.  It was too wet to grind the stump, but he cam back a week later after the ground dried out and removed the stump.  Also left a bunch of tree limbs cut to size for firewood and stacked next to garage.  Site was left fully clean.  I would definitely hire again.

"Carlos came out as scheduled for the quote. He was running late, but we got a call that he was on the way. While 15 minutes late, he was apologetic for his lateness. He carefully listened to our needs and reviewed the trees involved. His price was fair, and lower than an earlier quote we had, so we signed the contract. I should have waited some knowing I had one more quote coming which ended up lower. Carlos was good about it, even lowered his quote, but could not match it. He was a good representative for his business, nice to work with him even if we moved the contract to another company."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Harvard, IL

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.
