"The tree trimming was done in one afternoon. Trees looked great and all the debris was removed. The removal of the 21 trees was done in stages. All trees were felled and the light branches were ground in one day. The stumps were ground a day or two later. About a week later the logs were removed and the holes left by the stumps were filled. This work was done in January so we had some weather delays. Strobert employees worked quickly and safely removed our trees with no damage to our property other than some ruts in the grass which they fix. We were well please with their work and the price."

"The owner and team of workers were respectful to me, my property and the job. They asked me what areas I wanted trimmed. The second tree had several bird nests with eggs. The tree climber trimmed around the nest and relocated the eggs and nest into the tree next to the tree being removed. Awesome work! I will hire Tomahawk if I ever need tree service again."

"Excellently! The crew was careful and did a good job of cleaning up afterwards. Also, the stump was challenging to remove because of a circular cement enclosure, but they persisted and figured it out."

"If you want professionalism, caring, careful experienced people and absolute perfection for your tree service needs, Prestige is the only company you should use! From the first contact with Omar, who replied to me immediately, and was so kind and understanding of my needs to have my very sentimental tree that means so much to me and my late Father, who was my best friend and I miss so much, trimmed serviced etc this is the company to call. This tree was huge in our back yard, and needed to be trimmed for health and by law. The tree workers used so much care, proper machinery, and techniques to trim this tree to perfection. The workers took such care, safety, and professionalism in not only my tree needs, but also the neighbors yards next to me for safety and cleanliness. They even worked around a little bike we have leaning up against the tree for 30 years that is my daughters that my dad never wanted moved. The workers removed every branch that fell, even the ones if any in my neighbors yards. The tree is not only perfect and even, but exactly how I wanted it to look. They cleaned my yard afterward more then what it was before they arrived. The day of service a neighbor called them for their needs. I commend everyone at this company and do recommend them to everyone no matter what your tree and or yard services are. You wont find better quality work with affordable fair pricing anywhere else! I thank everyone at this company so much."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
