"When we contacted him, he called back immediately and scheduled an appointment. He showed and was done removing our tree stump without about 30-40 minutes. He did a nice job and did not leave a mess."

"The only trouble was their phone numbers weren't working when I tried to contact them... Couldn't even leave a message. Glad they tracked me down with their caller ID. They came one date and did $400 worth of trimming by climbing my trees. Did a great job and were very careful with my gardens. Then they returned a couple days later and used their bucket truck to cut another $400 worth of branches up very high in several trees. Kenny and his son are very careful and do a terrific job of cleaning up after the trimming. Already suggested them to my neighbors who had a very large dead tree removed for $1200. I hear their phone problem is fixed.

"It went better than I could have expected! They were quick to respond with a quote and was easy to schedule. They had the tree and the stump gone in no time! The owner, Allan, was even on site. He doesn't just send his crew out to do the job, he gets his hands dirty too. Very impressive. I would definitely recommend!"

"Excellent all around, quote, promptness, clean up. Payment included stump grinding, which the crew was unable to do 3 weeks ago. Gary has reassured me that it will be done and explained the situation to me. Rating will be an A+ and I will be even more pleased when stump is removed. I plan to use Accurate Tree and Landscaping Service again for trimming and maintenance."

"Our back and side yard had become a swamp and Nathan and the guys at the Drainage Team fixed all our problems.  They were very professional, had wonderful ideas and fixed our problems.  When the utilities came out to mark where all the lines were buried I was sure one was going to get cut by the small backhoe they had to bring in to dig the trench for the piping. I just couldn't imagine how they could navigate them, but they did.  I was thrilled.  A portion of our old (very old) fence had to be removed for them to do the work and when it was reinstalled there was a little more gap at the bottom of where the fence went up a hill.  We have a small dog and the guys took some old pavers and installed them all the way up the hill so our dog would not be able to escape. They reseeded the area of our yard that had been torn up and it looks better than any of the rest of our yard.  We've had no flooding or pooling since.  The system is working as they intended.  Our side yard actually dries out now and is no longer a swap.  They also added on pouring us a concrete pad for a shed we wanted to put in our backyard.  We'd intended to do this ourselves, but given the time of year and our busy schedule we didn't think we'd have time.  Nathan was great, looked at the shed and gave us options as to what type of base we could put in.  We decided concrete was the best option and they worked it into their timeframe of the project for a reasonable price.  Everything came out great and we were very impressed by their work.  I will definitely use them again if we ever had any further issues."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Highland, 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.
