"I first hired Roper Tree Surgeon & Landscaping in June 2014 to do a major tree cutting on some huge ficus trees.  This project required a truck with a boom, another truck with a large wood-chipper, and an experienced crew capable of cutting big trees so close to my house.  Roper surpassed my expectations in every way, and I was thrilled with the outcome.
When Mr. Roper and I discussed additional projects, I was really impressed with his knowledge, and willingness to help me with free advice and without any sales pitch.   So I hired the company again in July for a large landscaping project, which included:  A new automatic sprinkler system, replacing the front lawn and parkway grass with sod, replacing old shrubs with planting of new flowers, trees, and shrubs, and root pruning ficus trees and replacing the sidewalk destroyed by the roots.
Roper Tree finished the project on time and on budget.  I couldn't be happier with the results!  Mr. Roper takes genuine pride in his work, does not look for shortcuts, and does what he promises to do.   He is driven by customer satisfaction.  I look forward to working with Mr. Roper again, and recommend him wholeheartedly!"

"I was delighted with the service and, without reservations, would recommend LFG Arbor Care. They were able to quickly remove a mature amber Maple which had been planted over our water service. Then they very carefully ground down the stump and removed a roots to access the leak. They responded to my call the same day with a quote, and did the job on a Saturday given the emergency. Much appreciated!!"

"I have learned over the years if you want trees properly trimmed for looks and growth, hire a professional arborist. This is exactly what Kerry's Tree Service offers the customer. Mike Gallagher, arborist, came out, viewed my tree situation, then told me his recommendations and gave me an estimate within within 48 hours. after i talked to several other companies, I hired Kerry's with confidence the job would be done best if I used their services. I was correct. It took a crew of 5 men plus Mike Gallagher 4 hours to finish the job. They were professional all the way including final cleanup of my property at the end. All 3 trees look terrific and I look forward to seeing them after they fill out next Spring."

"From quote to finish, Abel and his employees were wonderful. Quote was reasonable for the amount of trees that needed trimming. The guys who did the actual work were professional, thorough, and did a great job. Everything was cleaned up before they left. I would definitely recommend this company."

"For my project (removing two trees, shaping and pruning 8 other trees), I had four companies bid blind. Nick provided an estimate which was exactly in the midpoint of the range of the submitted proposals. He also seemed the most knowledgeable of the various types of trees on my property. His knowledge and price point led me to select his company, Trees N Things (TNT). A few weeks after receiving the bid, I called to have the work done as one of the trees to be removed was listing badly onto the roof of my house. They were able to get a large crew to my house the next day. The crew was very professional, as was the crew leader, Miguel. They were able to complete ALL of the work - including grinding out two tree stumps and removing all chips and cuttings - in under three hours! Also, Miguel proactively reached out to my neighbors over whose properties some of my trees would be trimmed to ensure their yards were protected ahead of cutting and cleaned of debris during trimming. I d not experienced this level of professionalism with any tree service I ve utilized in the past several decades, so this really impressed me and my appreciative neighbors. I plan on retaining their services for as long as they maintain their great work ethic!"

"Steven came over within hours of our call and worked very quickly and efficiently. He removed a large cluster of bees and the queen they were following and rid us of our bee problem in one fell swoop. We would definitely use Bee Catchers again if we got another infestation.

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Sylmar, CA

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.
