"Very quick response to my inquiry and showed up before the time he said he would. I had 3 stumps removed and he even cleaned up other tree debris for no extra charge. Excellent service and pricing."

"Otilio Munoz called on a Saturday to check on the job. He gave me a quote and was able to do the tree trimming the same day. He called out an army of help to clean and remove all of the tree debris from my yard. They worked for at least 7 hours or longer. Very hard working people. They were so attentive to cleaning up everything. He came back today and removed the stumps. I have to say he is a very nice man and a hard worker. I would highly recommend this company."

"I have had many tree services trim and prune trees on my property. I am very meticulous about the care of the trees. Cowdrey's Tree Service was recommended to me. Colin the owner was very informative when we met to discuss the scope of work. Colin developed a detailed plan for me. He performed the trim and shaping of the Honey Locust and clearing of dead branches in a very large Blue Spruce as we discussed. His attention to detail was absolutely spot on. Colin also removed several tree stumps for me. He and his coworker Glen went above and beyond with getting utility locates and being extra careful working around the concrete edging and other obstacles while grinding the tree stumps. His cleanup of all work performed was beyond excellent. I highly recommend Cowdrey's Tree Service for any and all tree work. I will continue to use Colin with Cowdrey's Tree Service as my go to Tree Service for my property and my family's properties."

"John is an incredibly knowledgeable arborist who clearly understands trees and the issues they face here in Colorado. We had two pines that he ended up removing and replacing with Junipers. He gave us options to treat or replace. John took the time to walk through both options plus provided several tree replacement options to chose from. Highly recommend his expertise and honest approach."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Lafayette, CO

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.
