"So pleased with Scott and his team. I was amazed at how they worked. They were friendly, and skilled at tree removal . They were fast and did a great job at cleaning up. I would recommend them to anyone looking for tree work ( the best I have hired) in my seventy plus years. They have all the equipment needed for the job and skill at using them with safety. Thank you Scott and crew , see you in the fall."

"I had many estimates before we hired Butch. He beat everyone with his prices. In some cases I saved thousands from other estimates. Butch was efficient, effective and he always had safety awareness. The tree was cut and gone in less than two hours. I will always call Butch when I have a situation with a tree. My wife and I were pleased beyond our expectations."

"Very professional and friendly. Came when he said he would. Did not have to wait for weeks/months to get job done. Did a good job and I was well pleased. I will highly recommend him to anyone that needs that type work done. He removed a tree stump and several roots around yard that were a problem for lawn mower. Thank you to John and Tim! My yard looks so much better now!"

"I cannot say enough good things about this land clearing service! From start to finish, the crew was professional, efficient, and incredibly thorough. They arrived on time with well-maintained equipment and got right to work, treating my property with care as if it were their own. What impressed me most was the attention to detail—not only did they clear the land exactly as requested, but they also made sure to remove debris, smooth out rough areas, and leave the site looking clean and ready for the next stage of my project. Communication was excellent throughout; I always knew what to expect and felt confident in their expertise. Their team worked quickly without cutting corners, and the results far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing land cleared. They delivered exceptional quality, fair pricing, and true professionalism every step of the way."

"Greeneâ s Tree Service did an outstanding job with a huge task of removing many tall trees with one over 100 feet tall! After the removal of the trees, the stumps were ground and the chipping was evenly spread out to my satisfaction. The crew of men were professional and respectful in their work and manners. The owner, Andy, went above and beyond in my entire project to make sure I was pleased with the outcome."

"Total Ground Solutions was recommended to me a family friend. Christian & his guys were so easy to work with & didnâ t mind me asking for other trees to be taken down in the process of him working at my home. They took out a ton of trees in my back yard, finished the job earlier than expected as well! By far the most honest & hardworking company I have ever hired!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Suffolk, VA

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.
