"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..."

"Michael is a true pro. He is very responsive and is an expert on tree care. We had our 40 year old diseased maple removed and the stump ground down. The crew was very careful not to destroy planting in the area of the tree. They also cleaned up impeccably when they were finished clearing the tree. We have other trees on our property that need care such as spraying and fertilizing. We are turning all our tree care over to Michael and the AAA Arborist Tree Experts."

"Requested a quote on Saturday at 8:30, he called at 9, was over to give a quote at 10:30. Then came back the same afternoon to remove a 10ft tall multi trunk magnolia and grind the stump that same afternoon. They arrived, took the tree down and ground the stump. Shredded the tree on the spot and raked the lawn and cleaned up the street. Would highly recommend them."

"Andrew's trees service gave me several options. Decided on having two tall trees and one good size branch (storm damage) removed. Awesome price, work and completed quickly. Cleaned up with no stray branches around. Can't even tell where they did the work, except for the two stumps! Plan on using again in the fall. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Island Lake, 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.
