"This group was the best! 13 trees removed and not a branch left on the ground. I had a tree that was a tricky fall but no problem. Professional and price well also. I had some huge stumps removed with large roots and I was sure they wouldn't get them all. They did. Very happy and would hire them again."

"Pretty well. Estimate was quick and accurate. Workers were prompt and worked safely (my neighbor checked that the company was insured). They ended up visiting three times: once for the tree trimming, once for tree removal, and once for stump removal. Cleaned up and took everything away or chipped it."

"Very professional and removal of the tree was good. I was however disappointed that the estimate did not include stump removal (which I learned after the fact). I now have to hire another company to do that. Other estimates I received included the stump removal so I assumed theirs did as well. My fault as well but why would anyone think that a homeowner would want a large stump sticking a foot out of the ground?"

"They were awesome, arrived to provide quote for project on time, patient as I wanted other estimate. Arrived promptly on day of removal and cleaned up all limbs. Job was tricky as the tree was just over garage, house and our power line (reason for removal) they were able to remove without any issues. Highly recommend them to everyone."

"Jesse's removed a tree that was leaning over my neighbor's house and had stress cracks. Trimmed a difficult to get to tree behind my house and three other trees. Communication wasn't ideal but they were the low bidder and I am happy with the trade off. They were on my neighbor's property extensively and left a clean site and took care of all that I asked them to take care of."

"Best price all around, and the best quality work around. I had five trees removed from my property, one of which was extremely big. These guys started at 8:30 and cut all 5 trees down, removed the stumps and roots, and clean the whole property in less than 8 hours. I have already recommended these guys to two of my friends and will continue to refer them in the future. This company earned and deserved the 5 star rating across the board. Donâ t hesitate to call them!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Melrose Park, 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.
