"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."

"My old 40 ft+ silver maple had been butchered several times, in part causing the tree's decline. The shape was unbalanced and the tree looked raggedy. Kevin Johnson's crew removed all the dead branches and bracelet tips and reshaped the tree into a natural canopy shape. The tree looks fantastic. My deodar cedar, a soft wood tree looked spindly and ragged with overly long branches with heavy end weights which were a hazard in stormy weather. The crew removed the heavy ends and by reshaping they turned the ragged tree into a stunning specimen tree. Kevin and the crew understood exactly what I was looking for in the Magnolia grandiflora, the foundation tree in the back garden. They cleaned out the water sprouts and dead wood and trimmed some of the outer branch tips without giving the tree an unnatural lollypop shape. The pruning cuts were done correctly, above the bud, but not too close to interfere with its future growth. All in all, I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Kevin Johnson and crew. You are true professionals. I will call you back when I need more tree work done. Monica, UCCE Master Gardener, Alameda County."

"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."

"Juan and the team got the job done quickly, and it looks great!! They were very easy to work with, and it was well-priced (about what I was expecting). They cleaned everything up, and I am really happy with the work. I will definitely be using West Valley whenever I need a next tree service."

"The cypress tree branches cutting project went very well. The two workers had to work in a confined area under my landscaping and didn't damage it. After finishing the trimming they did a nice job cleaning up the cutting debris from my yard. I was so impressed by their work that I plan to hire them again for a much larger project."

"They were fabulous! Jose and his crew showed up right when he said they would come, and everything seemed to go like clockwork. They stopped whenever I would want to take a close up look, followed my reasonable requests, and If I wanted something done that was not good for the overall health of the tree, he would tell me. The crew had fun, and sang and laughed while they kept working. They were polite and kind. The ending result is that the tree looks beautiful, there are lots of windows to see through, and when the breeze comes through, it looks just great. They cleaned everything up so nicely, and took all the tree clippings away, and also were done in the timeframe that Jose had committed. We will absolutely will hire them again! Thank you Jose and crew. We love you all!!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Mountain View, 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.
