"Greg came out and gave us a great quote for trees we needed removed. He was out a little over a week later to do the work. He and his crew were very courteous and hard workers. They removed 26 leyland cypress trees for me in a very precarious location with ease. We even had them add in another tree and they got all of them down in one day and came back the following morning to clean up and get the rest of the tree trunks. I will recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Actually am giving them another reference today. Great work Greg, wife and crew!!! Thank you for doing such great work in a short amount of time for a great price."

"I had a large oak tree removed from beside my house. They had only about 20 feet to work with. They removed large limbs slowly to the ground between shrubbery a n did not damage any of them. I watched in amazement of how accurately they were. They were professional, friendly, price competitive an knew what they were doing. Also cleaned up nicely. I highly recommend them!"

"Very satisfied with A's! I live in Elmont, and was looking for estimates to remove 7 very large trees, a few smaller trees, grind the stumps on all but 2 of them, and was given a very reasonable price for the work. I scheduled the work about a week in advance, and on the scheduled day, the 6-person crew showed up and got busy right away. It took about 6 hours for them to complete the job, and when they were done, the trees and stumps were gone, the property was adequately cleaned up, as was the debris in the street. I should also mention that 2 of the large trees were not easily accessible, but A's brought them down with precision, even while working in tight quarters. I really can not thank and compliment A's enough for a job well done, and do highly recommend them for any tree work you may have."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Hickory, NC

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.
