"I had a great experience with Fama Tree Services! They came out to remove a tree stump and some large roots in my backyard, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. The crew arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was cleaned up afterward. Friendly, professional, and reliable service. I’d definitely recommend Fema Tree Services to anyone needing tree or stump removal."

"The roots were damaging the Retainer wall in more than one place. Friendly Tree did an excellent job in removing the stumps and roots. The clean up after was very good. Very nice company to work with. C. Munroe... The roots were damaging a retainer wall in more than one place. Friendly Tree did an excellent job of removing roots and stumps.

"Thank you to Bernie Tree and their workers. Someone came out and give an estimate that worked well with my budget. They also happened to be available the same day to get the job done. They did a great job removing my over grown hedges/trees/stumps out in no time. I would definitely use them again."

"Beucler Tree was prompt, professional, precise, courteous, timely and thorough. 

I had requested quotes from several tree services including one of Angie's List Big Deal companies as well as other local tree services.  The Angie's List Big Deal provider I contacted was actually BY FAR the highest quote and BY FAR the least professional in communication and demeanor. 

Beucler responded to my call within the same day and left a written quote in my mailbox within 24 hours.

Beucler was familiar with the tree removal regulations in Tenafly, they provided a quick estimate and they were the most reasonable service when taking into account that grinding and cutting removal was included in the quote. 

Beucler took down a "problem" tree that another provider on Angie's List wanted almost $1,500 more to do AND Beucler included grinding and removal of cuttings (items one Angie's List Big Deal provider charged extra for). 

Beucler's crew even planted grass seed in the spots of lawn where the tree stumps had fallen after first filling the indentations with top soil, which they also provided.  The grass even grew in thicker and greener than the surrounding lawn. 

Beucler's crew were mindful of a shed less than 3 feet away from the tree in question, yard fences, other trees and plantings as well as sprinklers, furniture and kids toys. 

I am DEFINITELY going to use them again this year for tree removals for an upcoming home renovation. 

For discerning owners in the Tenafly area that need an experienced and professional tree removal company that is familiar with tree removal regulations in Tenafly and the surrounding areas, turn to Beucler first.  You will be glad you did.  

All in all, Beucler provides a fast, reliable, professional, thorough and high quality service at a very reasonable price. Try them first and you don't need to look any further."

"They did an excellent job at a competitive price. They removed the limb, branches and cleaned up all the debris. The work was done timely, in a good attitude and professionalism. I suggest describing in detail the work to be done in order to avoid misunderstandings. Walter was very responsive and our satisfaction was important to him and to his crew. Highly recommend and will use them again for the next cycle of trimming/tree work."

"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."

"I had a great experience with them. Karen kept me updated on the arrival date and David went over the contract and answered any questions I had. The team removed one very big pine tree and a regular sized one as well. Close to power lines as well but they were safety conscious. They did a great job. Removed the stumps and cleaned up. Would recommend these folks. Reasonably prices as well."

"The price was reasonable compare to other companies. I had one large oak tree removed and the stump ground to the earth level, but I do not know how deep the grinding should have been done? Who removes the mulch? The much was left on the ground - about (15 -20) 30 gallon barrels ...HEAVY to carry and spread it around!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Rutherford, NJ

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.
