"They removed the dead tree, ground the stump down to what looked to be about two feet below the surface, and cleaned up very well; side walks, front walk and the grassy area around the removed tree. I could not have wished for more."

"American Eagle promptly returned our call and set up an appraisal appointment for the next day They came on time and were willing to remove the tree the same day. The tree was cut down carefully with no damage to fences or plants. All debris from the tree was removed from our yard and carted away. ( Our tree was tall but had a narrow diameter.)"

"LA Tree Expert did an amazing job removing 2 trees from my backyard. A team of 8 came in and completely cut both trees down within 45 minutes. In addition, they left my yard cleaner than they found it! This company is very professional, quick and they love what they do, perfect teamwork! Also, I did get 2 other quotes, they were 1/2 the cost of 1 and 1/4 of the other quote, how's that for being competitive! I would highly recommend this company!"

"LA Tree Service called me and came out to give an estimate the next day. They were quick, professional, and very reasonable. A crew of six men came to remove a very large tree from my backyard. They hauled everything out and cleaned up nicely. I would definitely use this company again."

"We needed 4 very large trees on our property removed. Julio was extremely accommodating, as we were late getting back to our house for the estimate meeting. He was very knowledgeable, and was very detailed in his estimate. The pricing was also extremely competitive. We only ended up having two of the trees dropped, but the work was impeccable. Julio and his team were punctual, extremely well prepared and very professional. Both trees, stumps and all of the wood were removed in one day, and the cleanup was excellent. We are extremely satisfied with the work and will almost definitely contract them again in the future."

"We were very pleased and impressed with the service we all received. 5 houses ended up being treated, having lots of live oaks + a few bur oak and red oaks. I had sent a photo of leaves from the infected tree about 7:30 pm and got a call at 9:30 that night! Though Brennon was out of town, he offered to come by late the next day upon his return. So at 7 pm on a Friday night he walked our property and the one next door, closest to our infected tree, taking an inventory, and provided us with an estimate for treatment. His professionalism won us over. (I contacted 4 companies in total, all with certified arborists and oak wilt certification.) On Monday morning his crew arrived and began treating our trees. Our Community Association contacted him also, upon our recommendation, and he has developed a treatment plan for the common area property where the oak wilt obviously began. I will never use another tree company! Next time our trees need trimming, Full Canopy will definitely be the company I'll call!"

"Our house is on the top of a hill and the tree was in the backyard.  The only way a company could remove that tree was to come in the neighbors property and lift the equipment over the fence.  He had the equipment to do a difficult job.  The neighor he had to go through was a Jewish high school and he was very considerate of the Jewish sabath and using their property at the proper time.  He arrived on time and did the job cleanly and efficiently."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Richmond Hill, NY

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.
