"Excellent experience with Dany Tree Service. Highly professional company with very competitive pricing. Great communication, flexible and easy to work with. Came out exactly when we agreed and willing to be flexible with some sewer construction on my street that impacted access to the property. In less than two hours, removed a 35 ft. tree and ground 4 stumps on the property; very impressive. Worked quickly and cleaned up very well afterward. Will recommend to everyone I know who needs tree services. A very pleasant and stress-free experience!"

"I had a large maple tree in an enclosed backyard that reached over fences and power lines. Rubio responded quickly to my inquiry, explaining the general condition of the tree and his recommendation for removal. The price he quoted was very competitive, and he was able to begin work on the tree that week. Once they started, the 4 person crew removed the tree without damage to power line or fence, ground the large stump, and removed all the remains of the tree. They finished the job in two days. They had the price, know how, equipment, and personnel to do the job. Based on my experience, I recommend Rubio."

"Tree was a very mature old tree, had storm damage and needed remainder or tree removed. Called multiple tree companies and Elite was the only company that answered the call. John came over and gave me a quote on the spot. He was able to cut down and remove stump a couple days later. He had to work around two power lines, a garage, and neighbors house while dropping 16-“ 24” limbs. He very safely dropped all tree limbs. Removed main trunk that measured in at 36”. Removed stump, then cleaned up all of the mess! Highly recommended!!!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in South Elgin, IL

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.
