"Benitez did a great job of taking care of our overgrown shrubbery and trees. They cleaned up all of our trees and removed the the cuttings. We had them grind down 6 stumps. They cleaned up everything leaving our yard looking better than it has been in years."

"Very pleased with the work that was done. The crew was very professional, considerate and cleaned up afterwards. The trees were between the houses and Butch was very careful as to where the branches and trunks would land after cutting. The job was done in one day."

"They truly want your lawn to look as good as you do. They listen to your concerns and take the time to make sure everything is exactly how you want it. We have worked with other tree services before and nobody comes close to the care, efficient, timely, professional, respectable, service you will receive from Cut It Up Tree Service. I now no-longer have to worry about the cluster of ivy, trees and stumps taking over my lawn. I now have a nice level clear lawn thanks to Cut It Up and couldnâ t be happier."

Customers say: Quality work

"Currently scheduling is a concern! The Weather and the scope of a project/ toming once beginning was a little interesting. More trees needed to be removed due to thier life cycle ending. Which stretched the job. But everything turned out great! The crew was great!"

"Total Ground Solutions was recommended to me a family friend. Christian & his guys were so easy to work with & didnâ t mind me asking for other trees to be taken down in the process of him working at my home. They took out a ton of trees in my back yard, finished the job earlier than expected as well! By far the most honest & hardworking company I have ever hired!"

Small jobs welcome

"Derrick brought in the mulch I needed within days. He and his crew are talented and dedicated, my beds were covered with 22 cubic yards. Derrick and one of his crew are also skilled at concrete and masonry, so I hired the pair to raise custom shaped and installed flag stones. I never thought I would find artisans with the skill to re-install them with the slope and fit required. They pulled it off"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Newport News, VA

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.
