"Hired Neil to take down 1 tree and grind 2 stumps. The work was solid, pricing was fair and scheduling was fast. Highly recommend Pacific Coast Stump Grinding https://youtu.be/-Km0dCx3FRY?si=qIagYSyp31B6lqfT https://youtu.be/-3jei1RicT8?si=DZ8dsiCcgvSj1ZrZ"

"Dan came out to give us an assessment about the health of an old cedar we have next to our home. I was concerned that he wouldn't be "straight" and would try to upsell services. However, I really wanted an experienced arborist to let me know why parts of my tree appear to be dying. Dan checked our tree out thoroughly and gave us his opinion that the tree is stressed but will most likely bounce back over the next several months. He then went on to look at a number of other trees on our property -- ALL AT NO CHARGE TO US -- and without trying to sell us any services. I have complete confidence in Dan and Eastside Tree Works. They came to take care of our landscape needs and didn't attempt to profit off of our ignorance. I will not hesitate to use them in the future!"

"WE hired them to remove 3 trees, trim other trees including tall a flowering cherry tree. The crew of workers completed all tasks in what seemed like a short time. In addition, Ryan gave us hints on some trimming projects we might want to do in the future. In addition,k they checked with us to make sure we were happy with their work. I would recommend them to everyone who need yard work done."

"Greg did a fantastic job for us. He ground up 4 tree stumps and even went above and beyond by grinding up a bed with huge blackberry nodules and ground cloth. We can now plant in this bed. He’s great to work with, pleasant and professional, prompt and a good communicator. I’d hire him again in a minute!"

"Perfect. They did a great job. My hedges and trees definitely needed attention; everything was overgrown. They trimmed - some significant, some minor - every living green thing in my yard and cleaned up afterwards. They also did a few things (like fixed my fence) that was not part of the original estimate and at no extra cost. Great crew, very nice, very respectful. Fast, thorough work."

"I contacted 2 highly-reviewed and rated companies, American Tree Care being one of them. Ammon, the owner is knowledgeable, personable, and truly cares that you walk away having had a good experience. Price wise, they were a tad bit lower than the other well-rated company (Both were fair and reasonable in my opinion). He was able to work with me on schedule and made sure that the surrounding trees were protected while his crew was working. Hard working crew who were knowledgeable, and didn't waste any time getting to work. Excellent experience and highly recommend. I will definitely be calling Ammon at American Tree Care first"

"Darell Emel's was very responsive at first when I had the incident.  They provided expert advice which lead to me removing all three trees.  An arborist was the estimator.  The estimate matched the final price.  The crew showed up when they said they would, the job was clean and professional.  The only problem was that this was a busy time for them and they needed a piece of equipment to remove the tree from  my neighbor's yard and did not have the piece that would accomplish the job so they came out a week later to finish because the equipment was being used on some other project.  They do respond to emergency situations but are limited based on equipment and promised jobs.  Overall, it was a better experience than I had expected.

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Kent, WA

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.
