"Called and made an appointment to give me an estimate. He showed up as I had asked him on time. He was very professional and very knowledgeable of what I asked him to do. I was very pleased with the work cleanup was great and the price I felt was just right. I liked what he did so much I called him back a few days later to come and remove another tree. I would highly recommend this company."

"Have had Above & Beyond do LARGE tree removal / stump grinding jobs 3 times in last two yrs. Courtney in the office and all crew members are great to work with. Worked for an electric utility for 46 yrs. These crews are as experienced and trained as well as any crews used in storm / tree removal for power restoration that I ever worked around. Their speed is amazing while maintaining excellent safety conditions at all times. An analogy would be a concert where everyone works together and solo when required. A&B has the best equipment â using a 70 ft. bucket truck for our last 80+ ft. tree removal. The crew are great to talk to and seek your input. They clean up and when they leave, the debris leaves too. No depressions in the yard where outriggers were. Happy to find such an excellent business !!!"

"I called yesterday evening right after the storm. Had a huge tree down and blocking my driveway. Sonny called me back quickly and came out this morning and cleared the driveway. He also removed the branch sticking through the roof in my foyer and tarped it. Very pleased with the work done and the quick response! Supreme Tree is my go to! Thank you!"

"The guy came out, removed it, and gonna charge me an additional 300 dollars. They spent the whole day putting the frame up but he still got it out because there was no equipment. The owner did a good job and tried to accommodate me in a rush passion but I think I paid too much."

"Alberto from Bison Landscaping was extremely easy to work with from the very beginning when he examined the work I needed completed. He provided a very detailed cost estimate to fix my retaining walls in my backyard. He was very understanding, took precise measurements, and provided options to replace the damaged RR ties that formed my backyard landscaping retaining walls. Other contractors provided estimates without measurements which I found very odd. Alberto was thorough and provided multiple pictures of stone walls he installed for other clients. It was very easy for us to choose exactly what we wanted installed. He and his team battled some very poor weather when work first began, but made quick progress in removing all RR ties and tree roots. They also installed drainage piping and gravel along the walls' foundations. The team cleaned the entire work area and the project took only one week! We are so happy our backyard wall is fixed and looks great! We highly recommend them!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in South Bend, IN

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.
