"Aly came on a Thursday to give an estimate and had 2 workers out the next day. They helped remove the trunk of a citrus tree that I couldn't get out myself along with trimming and orange tree and the neighbors trees that were coming over on our side which was encroaching on wires. Both the communication and work done were excellent."

"They were fast and efficient. They did leave the chips from the stump grinding which I thought they would remove. It cost me 300 more dollars to have them removed. The contract said remove all green waste. So I feel like the cleanup and removal costs weren't disclosed ahead of time."

Customers say: True professional

"Gil Tree Service responded promptly when I reached out for advice regarding trimming three large trees in my yard. I have a large pepper tree in my backyard. In front, I have an olive tree and a huge Podocarpus. Each tree required different treatments and skills to properly maintain them. Gil Tree Service responded promptly and scheduled the work within days. I appreciated their prompt response, and the representative gave clear recommendations for each tree. The trimming work was conducted efficiently and with a high level of professionalism. The crew completed the job quickly, ensuring that all necessary steps were taken to address my concerns. Additionally, after the trimming was finished, all debris was thoroughly removed, leaving the yard clean and tidy. Based on this positive experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Gil Tree Service to others. Should I require further tree work in the future, I will certainly call on their services again."

"They did a great job, I would highly recommend them to anyone. They did an excellent service. Eric and all of the workers were great and extremely helpful for us. They were very very good and careful when cutting the limbs and the trunks of the trees. My neighbors were very appreciative of them not blocking the road during the work."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Los Gatos, CA

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.
