"Mike was the third of four tree services that we arranged to have provide us with an estimate. He visited the house, took a look at the trees, and discussed removal with us. His estimate was that his crew could remove both trees in one day, which was faster than several of the other estimates we received. I checked with him for proof of insurance, which he promptly provided, and asked a few questions about his business. Mike provided an estimate that was right in line with most of the other estimates. Because of the stellar reviews that he had on Angie's List, we felt confident hiring. After discussing a few final details, we returned the contract. Scheduling was difficult because of the weather, but Mike remained in touch until we found a day that worked. Mike and his crew arrived in the morning. My wife stayed home that day and said that they laid plywood to protect the yard from the skidder and lift. She said that the crews were efficient and that they were wearing protective equipment. Before noon, they had the trees removed. When I arrived home that night, I observed that the yard was basically as it was before, with very minimal signs that the equipment and crew had been there. The crew cut the stumps or the trees to the ground as far as possible (we did not opt for stump grinding based on the location of the trees), and they picked up all of the debris. We greatly appreciate Mike's attention to detail and the care and concern with which his crew worked. We would absolutely hire him again."

"When we contacted him, he called back immediately and scheduled an appointment. He showed and was done removing our tree stump without about 30-40 minutes. He did a nice job and did not leave a mess."

"The only trouble was their phone numbers weren't working when I tried to contact them... Couldn't even leave a message. Glad they tracked me down with their caller ID. They came one date and did $400 worth of trimming by climbing my trees. Did a great job and were very careful with my gardens. Then they returned a couple days later and used their bucket truck to cut another $400 worth of branches up very high in several trees. Kenny and his son are very careful and do a terrific job of cleaning up after the trimming. Already suggested them to my neighbors who had a very large dead tree removed for $1200. I hear their phone problem is fixed.

"It went better than I could have expected! They were quick to respond with a quote and was easy to schedule. They had the tree and the stump gone in no time! The owner, Allan, was even on site. He doesn't just send his crew out to do the job, he gets his hands dirty too. Very impressive. I would definitely recommend!"

"Excellent all around, quote, promptness, clean up. Payment included stump grinding, which the crew was unable to do 3 weeks ago. Gary has reassured me that it will be done and explained the situation to me. Rating will be an A+ and I will be even more pleased when stump is removed. I plan to use Accurate Tree and Landscaping Service again for trimming and maintenance."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Mascoutah, IL

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.
