"The ExTreeme Tree team completely transformed our backyard. Our overgrown magnolia tree looks substantially better now. We no longer worry about branches over our (or neighbors) home. The team went above and beyond. They were helpful, worked quickly and even helped our neighbor. They are now our go-to tree experts."

"I was amazed. I have trimmed trees many times. I know how hard the work is. This job was too big for a DIY. The Fernandez team was a well oiled machine. Safe, smart and hard working. It was exciting to watch them work. 3 trees were removed and stumps ground. Two 80 foot trees were topped.."

"I have used Gonzalez's Tree Service on two different occasions now. On one occasion they pruned and trimmed a big oak tree that had branches growing over the roof of our house. They are very professional and I'm pleased with the quality of their work. I look forward to working with them again in the future, and I highly recommend them to family and friends."

"Superlative in every way - price, reliability, execution, clean up. Timo and his team did a great job removing a massive pine tree. Amazing to see the choreography involved. They also cleaned up the site and surroundings thoroughly. Would recommend them highly. Wonderful people and great job!"

"Lemur was fantastic; even though I had a very small project, they completed it quickly on a Sunday afternoon. I was very happy they were so prompt and did exactly what I hoped to have done. They removed an oleander, two stumps, hauled them away, and also laid new mulch down. My small area looks 1000% better than before."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Occidental, 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.
