"The job went very well. The crew showed up right on time and went to work. They were very good about letting me point out exactly what limbs I wanted removed. They removed just the right amount of foliage to get the effect I wanted. After the trimming was finished, they did a great job cleaning up. I will definitely hire them again if I need more tree work."

"Did not complete trim around deck which they removed and said they would replace in the quote, I did this myself. And did not remove old used lumber as stated they would in quote I waited for 10 days and finally removed it myself. The actual decking looks good I have no complaints about the work they completed, they just did not finish the job. I realize he is very busy but I never even received a phone call saying when he would return."

"Summit Land Development and Scott Lewis did an excellent job on our fill and grading project despite having a couple of challenges with local providers of fill. What was key was excellent communication and always having an option available to stay on schedule and budget. I would highly recommend Scott and his crew without any reservations. If you have a challenging project and need a skilled team then Summit Land Development is your team!"

"Very pleased with all the grading and excavation and clearing that was done behind my house. I explained to Jason that I needed my yard to be more level due to I could not get my lawnmower up the hill. He discussed with me all options that would resolve the problem. He went over and beyond to resolve the issue. I highly recommend him and would use him again."

"Highly Recommend B&B! We had a top notch experience with Brett Bridges and were thoroughly impressed with his work. He is honest, hardworking, and reasonably priced. We had a time sensitive situation (a large tree was down on our barn and we needed to remove it quickly in order to prevent further damage). Brett was super responsive and helpful in putting an estimate together and following through quickly. The tree was stuck in the roof, but Brett and his crew came in and removed it using heavy equipment, climbing gear, and saws, and left the area clean and cleared. Watching him work, it was clearly evident that he's an expert at what he does--the work was completed efficiently and just as we discussed. He is a man of his word and lives out his values, which is refreshing in today's world. He even came back out later with a bigger tarp just because he said he would (& I know it wasn't convenient for him). We would definitely have him work for us again in a heartbeat!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Murphy, 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.
