"Wow, super fast response from Dave at Acorn Tree Care after a big tree fell on my house during a storm. The whole team was there the next morning, they were even early, when does that happen these days? Dave was incredibly caring and helpful, and the whole team is so friendly, amazing to watch and obviously enjoy what they do. They were even able to fix a dislodged dented gutter! What an absolute pleasure, they are so skilled and wonderful to work with."

"Steve and Kyle were unbelievably tireless workers who toiled for eight hours straight skillfully taking down the tree and carefully removing the stump. They caused absolutely NO damage to anything even though they were working in close quarters between the house and the street. They left the area cleaner than it had been before."

"I definitely recommend GMC landscaping to anyone looking to do hardscape work and will consider him in the future if I have any other projects that I would like to get done. I hired Jorge to install a new set of front steps and a couple relatively large retaining walls around my driveway. Throughout the entire process, he was very easy to get in contact with and if I ever had a question, he was always very prompt to get back to me. Jorge was also very flexible with me as well. I was working on a budget and was willing to put in some labor myself to tear down and dispose of the old steps and wooden retaining walls. I was able to do most of the demolition work myself before his crew came out for the prep and install. His crew are extremely hard workers. There were a few relatively hot days and a lot of the work needed to be done by hand. His guys have an extremely good work ethic and it was impressive seeing them get so much done in a short amount of time. Each one of the blocks they used weighed 80lbs+ a piece and I can tell that their work is going to stand the test of time. The walls and steps are straight and level and the quality of materials used are going to last a long time. The results have blown away my expectations. I've had multiple people stop after seeing the new steps and walls installed and asked for Jorge's information after seeing his work."

"We had multiple old trees that needed a lot of pruning and removal of dead branches. Ramon and his team were able to come the day after I contacted them. They worked all day and pruned, trimmed bushes and even tied all of our arborvitae up so they grow more full. His price was significantly better than any other quote I had received. I would definitely use him again."

Small jobs welcome

"I am VERY pleased with my choice of JAC Land and Tree for my emergency tree removal project! From start to finish, everything went perfect for the safe, careful, and skilled removal of two large storm-damaged trees beside my house, one of which fell, got hung up in a massive 40-foot spruce tree, and partially crushed a chain link fence on its way down. Throughout the job, owner John was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to work with...so much so that I hired JAC on the spot. Johns estimate was thorough, detailed and arrived within hours of his visit; the pricing was extremely reasonable and fair. Best of all, John was true to his word: he gave me a firm date for the work (the next day!)...and actually showed up on time to do it! On site, John worked alongside an awesome, experienced team that has been together for many years. They methodically went about their work, everyone assigned to a different task while following a well-organized game plan. All work was delivered exactly as promised. My job was precise, thorough, clean, respectful of my property, and without hassle or problem. The entire crew was hard-working, respectful and a pleasure to deal with. If you are looking for a professional, experienced, well-run tree service that does excellent, neat work and honors its word, JAC Land and Tree is a great choice. Big thanks to John and Team for a super job well done! See you next year when it is time to plant a big new tree to replace the ones I lost!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Highland, NY

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.
