"I had a massive Canary palm tree that needed to be removed. Eduardo promptly responded to my request for an estimate and gave me a fair and reasonable quote. The next day, he arrived on time with a professional and energetic crew. I watched as they made the impossible possible. The tree removal and stump grinding were safely and meticulously done in one day! I was truly amazed.

"The service they did was mediocre at best and they are not very careful. Had them cut trees down by my house and they decided to fell 1 of them right along the side of my house instead away from it and hit my roof and broke a window when I live in the forest and there was plenty of clear area to direct it towards. They also crushed my garden and fencing in this act. It has been 2+ months and they STILL have not fixed what they have broken and getting them to respond is next to impossible. So if they can't do any damage to ANYTHING on your property I would say maybe give them a chance but avoid them completely if there is a risk of anything being hit, no matter what the value because they won't fix what they break and will leave you for 2 months in the snow without a freaking window and your chimney crushed!!!!"

Ama tree is family owned. Owner operated by Andrew Apodaca “tree work is my passion “

"Andrew came and trimmed some very large eucalyptus trees on our property and did a fantastic job. He was very knowledgeable and walked with us around our property to identify other trees that we need to trim or remove in the future. He was prompt, professional, and thorough. I highly recommend his service and we will be using him in the future for our other trees."

We are a tree service company that's been in business for over 20 years. Family owned and operated. We're committed to quality, and are a one-stop shop for any tree needs!

"This is the reason why I needed my trees trimmed. I have a fifty year old Ash tree. It was an unusual tree since it grew in a V-shaped manner. It was sixty feet tall and getting taller by the year. The older it got, the taller it grew and I was afraid that one day the two main branches will be so heavy that it will split itself in two and fall on my neighbor’s house hurting people inside. . I called Urban Tree Care and I was greeted by Lizet. She was friendly over the phone. I told her my situation and she said she will gladly have someone come to my house that weekend to inspect my tree. True to her word, that weekend a man named Heriberto came to my house. He looked at my tree and said nothing’s wrong with it. It’s perfectly healthy and it didn’t need any of his help. I told him about my concerns about my tree falling down so he suggested trimming the tree to lighten it up. I agreed. He also looked at my Walnut tree next to the Ash tree and suggested trimming that as well. He quoted me a price of $1,500.00 and I agreed. Later that day, Lizet called and scheduled an appointment for the team to do their work. . The team arrived on time. They came in a large dump truck with a woodchipper attached and a pickup truck. Heriberto was the team leader. He was the one who climbed the tree making the cuts as his four assistants were there gathering the branches and logs making it safe for him to do his job. They were a very efficient and professional team. They wore uniforms and hardhats. Heriberto used mountaineering gear to climb up the trees and with his chainsaw and ropes he made professional cuts. He used ropes to make sure the branches and logs come down on my property and not on my neighbor’s property. . Once they finished, both my Ash tree and Walnut tree looked great. By trimming the trees it allowed more light on my property and it really made me feel good. Urban Tree Care is a professional company and it was worth paying them the money. I will do business with them again."

Franklin has a strong passion for helping his clients with their needs. With over 10+ years of experience, his work includes dealing with tree removal, pruning, and specializes in hazardous trees. Whatever your tree needs are, Franklin will ensure the the quality of work is provided to improve the landscape of this client.

"I asked Green Lane Tree Services to remove a huge, dying agave (century plant) with a house-high bloom that was tilting close to our utility wires. They worked carefully and even managed to get the stump out manually, without harming the surrounding succulents. They also took out an old plum tree that storms had brought down, doing the job without damaging any of the plantings around that tree (we decided together not to take the stump out in this instance due to the proximity of other plants -- they consulted me on each question that came up during the work). They pruned an out-of-control bougainvillea and cut down a couple very tall, but dead, cypress trees. Finally, they cleaned everything up perfectly, and even sawed the plum tree into logs for us. And to top it all off, they charged considerably less than the quote I got from another tree service."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Pleasant Hill, 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.
