"Robert did a fantastic job with our stump removal project. Especially considering the stump was not in an easy access area, he removed the stump and roots quickly and efficiently. Left the area smoothed out and filled in with surrounding soil. Stayed within our budget (reasonable prices). Would highly recommend."

"Everything went very well.  Ammon is very knowledgeable and professional, and the crew worked hard.  The trunk diameter of the dead tree was larger than our chain saw could handle, so very happy to hire the job out to a competent tree removal expert.

"Jon and his crew showed up on time, were very professional, worked quickly and ensured any questions or concerns I had were immediately addressed. I had four trees removed, two of which were right next to a storage shed, both trees were removed with precision and all the branches/debris were cleaned up. I also had two large areas cleared of brush, downed trees and stumps. Jon made quick work of the overgrown brush and exposed areas of my property I have never seen."

"Wow, I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the exceptional service provided by Mike and his team! As a newcomer to the community, I faced some challenges with my HOA approval process to remove a tree. However, Mike went above and beyond to help me navigate the process with ease. He was incredibly patient and understanding, making sure that I had everything I needed to have the issue resolved. The estimate process was a breeze, and Mike promised to handle everything from start to finish, including the final step of cleaning up. True to his word, the tree removal was completed quickly and efficiently, leaving my yard looking pristine. I was also blown away by Mike's extensive knowledge and expertise in the field. When I asked him about the chainsaw he used and how to maintain it, he took the time to educate me on the key factors to keep it performing at its best. He even gave me some additional guidance on trimming smaller trees and removing rooftop mosses, which was incredibly helpful. Overall, I am beyond grateful for Mike's outstanding work and his unwavering patience and kindness throughout the entire process. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of tree removal or other related services. Thank you, Mike, for your exceptional work and dedication to your craft!"

"Perfect. They did a great job. My hedges and trees definitely needed attention; everything was overgrown. They trimmed - some significant, some minor - every living green thing in my yard and cleaned up afterwards. They also did a few things (like fixed my fence) that was not part of the original estimate and at no extra cost. Great crew, very nice, very respectful. Fast, thorough work."

"This company was Profesional, experienced and friendly. We had a large fir tree stump removed from our backyard. The technician had to guide the stump grinder through a narrow space of 36 inches to get to our backyard. He did a excellent job being mindfull of our new garden, fence and stamped colored concrete."

"They started a project on a Thursday and cut down a couple of trees leaving the stumps to be removed when they came back Friday or Monday. They did not show back up until the following Thursday. They completed the work and left before contacting us back for payment at all. Super hard workers when I did see them at it, but attendance is spotty. For the price, happy overall - will use them again for non-urgent work."

"Five stars, no question. I've lived in this Redmond home 25 years and have hired many tree companies for my 30+ large trees. Eastside Tree Works is the best by far. The salesman who came for the estimate showed up with an iPad, photographed and tagged each tree, and had a detailed estimate ready before he left. He clearly knew his stuff and talked through what would work best for the trees and the house. When he learned I was a veteran, he knocked a nice discount off the price. The crew was just as impressive. A full team arrived with a bucket lift and limbed up several big Douglas firs, did conifer cleaning, and took down two medium trees. They worked seamlessly together, checked in with me repeatedly to confirm limbing heights, and even fixed my chainsaw when I mentioned it was having issues. The cleanup was the best I've seen in 25 years here. They left the property looking better than they found it. Highly recommend Eastside Tree Works."

"NW Arbor Care removed a large Alder tree from our backyard. The crew that came was professional, friendly, and super efficient. They finished the job in less than 2 hours which was super impressive. They did a great job cleaning up our yard and protecting our house while hauling everything out of our backyard. I would definitely use them again."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Seattle, WA

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.
