"Holly Forest Tree Service did a large project for me to include trimming out trees so they would not hit the house in one of these high-wind storms, thinning out two huge monkey pine trees, trimming bushes, removing a small tree, and removing a huge old walnut tree. The reason for removing the walnut tree was it was starting to rot in the middle and I was afraid it would fall onto the small one-way bridge located right next to it and cause severe damage. This bridge is the only ingress and egress for several homes in the neighborhood and having the bridge out of service for even one day would be a nightmare for a lot of people. The workers did not mess around and they worked from the time they got here until the time they left (with a short lunch period). I never saw them sitting idly by or stopping to chat or talk on their cell phone. They have a strong work ethic and did an exemplary clean up job. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for tree service."

"They returned my phone call almost immediately and we scheduled an appointment. The owner showed up on time and I was impressed with his professional appearance and cleanliness of his truck and equipment. He took time to ask me questions about the stump I wanted removed and my plans for the ground afterwards. He gave me a very reasonable quote and removed the stump that day. He was as careful as possible with his equipment on my lawn and he did not leave a huge mess. I would definitely recommend them!"

"Very pleased with the guys at Chauga Vally Grading. They responded back within 24 hours and came out the next day for a quote. Provided a contract within 2 hours with the total price. Total of 4 trees removed and they took great care not to damage my driveway and grass. I wasn’t sure they would complete the job in one day since it started raining after they started, but they worked through and got it done."

"We have a very small house next door to our house. The roof began leaking badly and we hired Chris to replace the old roof, based on our previous experience with his work cleaning up storm damaged trees. My past positive experience with metal roofing resulted in my contracting with him to install a new metal roof on the small house. The crew showed up on our schedule. They quickly removed the old shingles, tore down an old damaged chimney and replaced all of the water damaged roof sheathing. When the metal roofing was delivered they wasted no time in starting the install. Despite frequent showers and storms they worked whenever conditions permitted. They identified some problems with the roof of a small porch and replaced that roof with architectural grade shingles. Throughout, they were diligent, courteous, professional and conscientious in their work. The day after the job was completed they completely cleaned up the consideable mess involved in a job of this scale. Recommended!"

"Stephen did an excellent job. Very prompt in setting up a viewing appointment and cost estimate was reasonable. Showed up on time and did a professional job in the stump grinding process. I would certainly use his service again if the need arose."

"Anna called me back within minutes of using Angies list. She came out the next morning and gave me a quote for tree removal which was much lower than anyone else. She and her team arrived the next day - removed the tree, cleaned up all debris and left my yard in great shape. Will definitely use her again if needed."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Salem, SC

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.
