"Quick response for estimate. Once contract signed, tree was taken down about one week later, and stump one week after that. Overall their administration could be improved, as we were not notified in advance for the tree removal until the trucks were almost onsite. Billing follow-up was poor."

"Outstanding service! Klean Kut LLC removed 37 trees along with all 37 stumps from my property last year and William Cochran went above and beyond to ensure a smooth, timely process. Very professional, communication was prompt, super friendly and any request that I had William Cochran was able to deliver on. I highly recommend Klean Kut LLC and will continue using their services in the future!"

"The first job was for our Church in and around buildings, walls and cemetery, for Christ Church corner of State and Water streets downtown Dover.  It was a major job in difficult environs, several of the trees were over 70 feet and amongst tombstones, and along a fragile wall.  I received 5 bids, one which was 5 times the amount we paid Two Bears.  Two Bears was the lowest bidder.  The job took some time, but was impacted by winter weather (reason for B in punctuality), and for the price I was quick to say take your time, because I was concerned over safety and damages.  There was one minor damage, and Two Bears took complete responsibility.  Clean up was complete and work was done in accordance with our agreement.  Concern for safety and damage was apparent.  I cannot impress the reader enough with the difficulty in removing these large trees among walls, buildings and tombstones.  Two Bears maintained immediate and professional contact with me throughout this major contract.
The second job was around my home, Old Mill Acres II, removing 7/8th of a large Barlette Pear, and elevating 4 large oaks and a River Birch.  Job was completed in one day as promised even though the team worked into the evening.  Price was more than fair.

"At my vacation property I saw a very big limb had broken of and was balancing on other branches, thus being a very dangerous situation.  I called Randy and left a Voice mail, because I wanted the limb removed quickly as well as any other trees and/or branches as necessary for safety.   Randy called back the same day, went to the house to look at the work to be done and gave me a quote.  He then proceeded to do the work the next day.  I was very happy as the danger had been dealt with quickly.  I haven't personally seen the work performed, but appreciated the professionalism of Randy throughout and feel confident he did a good job.  Once I can verify the work done, I will update the review.  But can only recommend Randy's Tree Service.

"Howard is the real deal.  He has an old-school mentality which brings a top-notch work ethic and respect to the customer.  He is prompt and does a great job for a fair price.  When he first came out to provide an estimate for the work, I mentioned a window that was not shutting properly.  He fixed it right on the spot at no charge.  He knew exactly what the issue was and it took him two seconds.  I don't know too many contractors that would have done that without including an incremental fee in their bill.  Also, Jackie, who sets up the appointments, is terrific.  She is personable, friendly, knowledgeable and provides great communication through the whole process.  She even contacted me the day the work was scheduled to be done to let me know Howard was on his way.  I have already started another list of items that will need attention and Howard will be my go-to in getting the work done. Highly recommend!

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Kenton, DE

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.
