"They did an excellent job at removing my tree. They even cut a few extra dead branches from a couple other trees. That was a nice surprise. They cleaned up the area so nicely. Can’t even tell a tree was cut down today. Will definitely hire them again as I have a ton of trees so thankful to them."

"Removed the branches of the trees that I cut down. He was willing to remove the chips after grinding the stumps but I wanted them left and he spreader them out for me. He did a excellent job and was very friendly and professional."

"They removed 3 trees and trimmed 2 others. One of the removed trees was very large and surrounded power lines. The work was done safely and promptly. The property looks so much better now. I am very pleased with the quality and skill of their work. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Jaren Robey and the people that work with him are wonderful. What I needed was quite a bit of stump removal. Jaren first came and cleaned up my yard to prepare for the stump removal. Then he came on a rainy day and worked from morning till late afternoon until all of the stumps had been removed. Then he seeded and put straw down to make sure that everything would look good. He went over the top to make my experience great. I will have him back to help me keep my yard looking good. Hire him, you will not be disappointed."

"We hired Roxely's to trim and overgrown tree next to our home. Service was fast and the tree looks great! Our home and roof was protected and all limbs and debris were cleaned up. They do a lot more and I plan on hiring again for additional jobs we have around our home. Highly recommend!"

"It could not have gone better! Tony and his crew arrived basically when they told us they would. They had all the necessary equipment with them (strictly professional grade) and the crew of two started to work right away. The tree was about 30 feet tall, in our front yard and fairly close to the house so we were concerned about damage so we watched the whole process. Our neighbors have had 4-5 trees removed in the past couple of years and, after seeing that work, we knew not to use any of those contractors -and we knew what to watch out for.
This crew was A-1 professional all the way. Some of the limbs were removed after they climbed in the tree and the rest (the ones near the house and a valuable holly tree) were taken down using the large and quot;cherry-pickerand quot; on the big truck. We were very impressed with the whole process.
They also ground-out the stump and the roots and their big machine made fast work of it. They even and quot;dugand quot; a hole for us where we will have an replacement tree installed soon. Most amazing of all, these fellas were able to grind up ALL of the tree except for a few very large pieces from the trunk. Amazing machine! As a result, there was little mess and they cleaned everything up very thoroughly before they left. Tony came by to inspect the work and he and his crew helped us spread topsoil and grass seed over the spot where the ash tree stood. This was a plesant surprise -and much appreciated!
They did a very professional job and we will call them first if we ever need tree service again.

"The owner of the company came to my house the day after I called in to look at the tree work I needed done and had an estimate bat to me the next day. I got scheduled the next week trees were removed and debris cleaned up. Excellent customer service, I would recommend Hardline to my family and friends."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Lexington, KY

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.
