At 24, I’ve built a strong foundation in outdoor property services, running my own lawn care and junk removal business since receiving my driver’s license. What started as a way to enjoy working outdoors and earn reliable side income has grown into a dependable operation focused on quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. With years of hands-on experience managing physical work, scheduling routes, and delivering consistent results for homeowners, I’m now expanding my services to include professional pet waste removal—helping dog owners maintain clean, safe yards without the hassle. I take pride in reliable, respectful service and turning necessary chores into something customers don’t have to worry about.

I have been in the forestry and excavation trades since I was a teenager. I have over 20 yrs experience with both now. \nThis is a small family run business and also owner operated, so I am the one performing each job we do. \nWe strive for customer satisfaction and don't mind putting in the extra work to make it happen as planned and on time.

"The service was excellent. I was very pleased with the workers, they were on time, they did the work very professional and very clean, they cleaned up excellently and there are some work that was not complete and I asked them to complete it and the workers did it without any arguments. I have recommend them to my neighbors, to my church members and their price was reasonable and I would use them for further jobs."

"The principal came within the hour on a Sunday to review the scope of work and provided a written estimate. I asked for and received a copy of insurance certificates. Work was performed by two men over several days in two segments. All work on the original scope as well as some additional work was performed neatly and completely. Work was performed while I was away and on weekends when I was home.
I did not have the stumps ground down because there were too many and I had them removed completely by an excavator.

"George is a very friendly businessman who is very punctual.  He will call and tell you when he will have the wood there and he is usually there as he states he will be.  The firewood that I recieved from GWS Firewood and Logging was the full cord that I ordered and split as I had asked for it to be split.  His prices are the best that I have seen in a long time.  Throughout the season I usually order around ten cord of wood from GWS Firewood and Logging.  I have used him for the last two seasons.  I have never had any complaints with the service or material that I recieved."

"ET Tree & Landscape trimmed and shaped the hedges, pruned a large mulberry tree, and removed 2 trees, one of which was on a steep hill. Eugene Tebordo and his crew were professional and timely. The work was excellent. The clean up was thorough. The price was right. I will certainly engage their services again."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Shandaken, NY

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.
