"During the 2024 ice storm, I had a tree that needed to be removed before it fell on my house. Within a week of the bid, the NW Premier crew was out cutting down the tree and hauling the unwanted wood away. The area was left clean, even in the rain. Once the ground dried, the crew was out grinding up the stump. I now have a new beautiful dogwood planted in its place. They have good communication skills and great follow up. I highly recommend NW Premier Tree Services."

"I have used Pacific NW Arborist's twice now. The first time, they removed two large fir trees, a maple tree, and a willow tree. The fir trees required the use of a crane. They spent one day delimbing the fir trees and removing the maple and willow. They returned with a crane to remove the remainder of the fir trees. All went very well and they did an excellent job of cleaning up the mess. The second time I used their services, they removed a large pine tree that had begun to lean and posed a threat of falling over. It took them about an hour to climb, delimb, remove, and clean up. Very pleased with their effort. All in all, I would highly recommend Pacific NW Arborists; very professional and reliable."

"We have 11 very large fir and cedar trees on our lot that needed the dead branches removed along with some thinning. Eli was prompt in coming out to give us a detailed bid and was very professional and informative. His bid was competitive and they got the job done in a timely manner and did a great job cleaning up. Our neighbors on both sides of us were so impressed they hired Eli as well to thin their trees!"

"The categories listed do not really list what was done for us. They redid our horrible gravel road, which is now better than ever. They replaced our ice storm damaged field fence. Which they had to remove a lot of tree debris and brush to do. They completed these jobs in only a couple of days time. Very friendly and informative. I would hire them again and highly recommend them."

"I have used Caudle's Tree service a number of times over the years. Today the crew showed up on time, were very knowledgeable and professional, cleaned up the yard and street afterwards and it looked like they hadn't been there. Very happy with the way our trees look, very natural appearance. Reasonable price for the work performed. Would highly recommend for any tree services you might need."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Salem, OR

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.
