"They removed 12 trees, all of which were within 10 feet of the house. They arrived on time and started promptly. This is a full service tree company and will use crane, shredder, stump grinder, and bobcat. The team of six moves fast and efficiently. There will be some disruption if you have a small suburban street like mine, but it was minimal and they guided traffic as necessary. The entire job was finished and cleaned up in less than 4 hours. No damage to my house or property and they did a great job removing all debris. Keep in mind these were huge trees ranging from 55 to 70 feet tall. It was a large undertaking and they handled it very well."

"Bob is a super nice guy and an extremely knowledgeable arborist. They removed a dying tree from my front yard and trimmed a large tree in the back yard. They did a fantastic job, worked fast and cleaned everything up very well. Highly impressed. I will definitely use them again."

"I had two large Green Giant Arborvitaes in my back yard I wanted removed. They whole process went about as perfect as a tree removal can go. They were energetic, friendly, and efficient. They ground the stumps when they were done and cleaned up so well that you would not have even known they had been there. Alejandro and his crew were great to work with and I highly recommend Axtraction Tree Service and I will certainly call them again when needed."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Matthews, NC

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.
