"Eli’s Tree Service, a family-owned business, recently trimmed and cut back several extremely tall tree limbs that were threatening my mother’s gutters and roof. The crew did an outstanding job. The men expertly handled the tree trimming while the women kept the work area clear and efficiently fed the branches into the chipper. It was impressive to see such great teamwork and professionalism. In addition, they removed a large dead shrub, leaving the property looking much better. Their prices were very reasonable, they arrived on time, and they responded promptly to our request. When the job was finished, they thoroughly cleaned up the property and made sure everything was completed safely and professionally. We are extremely pleased with the quality of their work and would highly recommend Eli’s Tree Service to anyone looking for reliable, affordable, and professional tree care. Thank you, Eli, and your entire crew. You are truly appreciated!"

"From the first contact until the work was completed, Pacific Northwest Arborists was a professional, friendly company to do business with. Keith, the owner, came out to bid. I was impressed with how invested he was in saving our trees. Other companies we contacted were encouraging us to remove the trees. Keith offered realistic explanations and solutions to the various problems. Even to the point of saving a sapling shoot that was sprouting from the remaining birch stump in hopes that a new tree would result. The bid was very reasonable. The work performed and the cleanup following exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended Pacific Northwest Arborist to a neighbor and would not hesitate to use their services again."

"Durning the last big wind storm, we had 2 big 75-100 foot Sycamore trees break branches and limbs. They punched holes through the roof of our home. It left the entire yard covered in debre. We also wanted a 50’ Rams Horn Willow tree close to the house removed. Willamette Tree service was the bid I chose out of 4 bids. They came right out and gave me a quote. The next morning they arrived and got right to work. It took almost 3 full days to complete the job. They did an amazing job leaving the trees looking natural not hacked up. All the wood rounds were stacked where we asked them to put them. All the debre was chipped and left so we could use it. Everything was done in a timely and professional manner. The price was very competitive and fair. We highly recommend Willamette Tree Service. They did an excellent job. They communicated throughout the entire job making sure we got the job we expected. Could not have been happier with their services! They were amazing to work with."

"They did a good job of trimming the two large trees in my yard and I am happy with the final result. I plan to use Caudles Tree Service for future maintenance but I did have a few concerns about the crew who performed the work: 1) The crew left an inordinate amount of firewood in several piles all over my lawn instead of adding it to the pile near my shed. It rained for several days after the job was done which end caused the piles to settle into a muddy mess that killed my lawn in places. I spent the better part is a day hauling wood to the pile bear my shed. Not fun. :( I feel like I should be giving them a lower grade for this but, again, they did a pretty decent job with the trees. 2) Many of the crew members were smoking while they worked on my property. I realize that they were outside but it still caused me to question their professionalism. 3) There were crushed energy drink cans and candy wrappers left on my lawn after the crew left."

"Daniel and his crew were very professional and hard working. After a storm they showed up, took down a couple of trees that were damaged and dangerous. They even came back with a stump grinder on another trip. I’m even excited they are coming back up from Texas to take another’70 tree out for me!"

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.
