"Oscar and the entire crew were absolutely THE BEST start to finish!! They went above and beyond to make sure they had completed every request---which they did---and BEYOND! They ground stumps, removed trees and root systems, helped me answer questions about future landscaping, and my yard, driveway and surrounding areas were cleaner when they left than they were when they arrived! It is WITHOUT HESITATION I recommend them to anyone looking to hire a team for anything yard-related, and will call them ANYTIME in the future when I need work done. They were simply AMAZING!!!"

"M&T offered a very reasonable quote for tree removal and stump grinding . They removed 7, medium to large oaks, several small trees around the yard, all stumps were ground down completely. We were in communication by phone and email, all responses were quick, and they addressed my questions/requests immediately, to my complete satisfaction. Leo and his crew works quickly and masterfully. Not one adjacent bush, tree, or structure was damaged. They brought down a large double oak situated about 5' from our fence. Fence to the left, septic field to the right. They gingerly brought down the crown of the tree between the tree and the fence, totally avoiding any undue disruption to our septic field. The fence was not damaged at all. All trees and limbs were picked up and taken away. The yard was left clean. I referred M&T to a neighbor, they already have a job scheduled with them . I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. They know what they are doing."

"Tough call. JP lawn care is friendly and hard working. However my experience with them was disappointing. I hired them to clean up my yard pre-sale. We walked through what plants should stay. Jarrett did a great job of clearing the weeds and mulching. But he also removed the exact established plants I want to keep. That mistake diminished my curb appeal, which will impact sales price. He was open to adjusting the price and apologetic but that doesn?t change the lost ? value."

"We recently purchased our home and have plenty home projects to be done. A privacy yard fence was the first thing we decided to do. Contacted a few contractors. We hired WTF company (Michael) A real pleasure to do business with. Friendly, competent, fair price. The workers who did the install were personable and hard working. We were extremely impressed with the professional, prompt and responsive manner in which Michael handled our home improvement project. The crew was well prepared, very punctual, and did an outstanding job! I am very pleased with all the work that was performed and appreciate the excellent service. We will be scheduling our sunroom project with WTF in a few month. Ace Hunter"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Smithfield, NC

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.
