"I contacted 2 highly-reviewed and rated companies, American Tree Care being one of them. Ammon, the owner is knowledgeable, personable, and truly cares that you walk away having had a good experience. Price wise, they were a tad bit lower than the other well-rated company (Both were fair and reasonable in my opinion). He was able to work with me on schedule and made sure that the surrounding trees were protected while his crew was working. Hard working crew who were knowledgeable, and didn't waste any time getting to work. Excellent experience and highly recommend. I will definitely be calling Ammon at American Tree Care first"

"These guys are fantastic. We met with several arborists, and Brenda & Jose impressed us from the moment we met them. One tree was a problematic situation because it was our neighbor's tree that we needed to have the branches removed from our property, and our neighbor was not cooperating. Originally we planned to have the tree cut with a hedge trimer right up the property line. Jose cared enough and hand-cut each branch individually. This tree is at least 75' tall. The other two trees we in our back yard and again, the team at Altaview performed to perfection."

"Pacific Arborculture was great...fast and efficient work, they didn't damage my lawn or leave woodchips strewn about, and the price was right. My job was small...just a stump and small tree removal...but I was still impressed at how quick it went and how there was no evidence that it ever happened afterwards."

"The crew from Sunrise Landscaping & Tree Removal were total professionals who did an outstanding job. I was worried about the tree being close to my house, but they relieved my fears by their "top-notch" attention to detail. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to anyone who asks."

"Northwestern Tree Surgeons did outstanding work removing three large trees from my front yard. The crew was professional, skilled, and worked efficiently from start to finish. They handled everything safely and with great attention to detail, and the cleanup afterward was excellent. It’s clear they take pride in their work and know exactly what they’re doing. The job was done smoothly and without issues, and the results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Northwestern Tree Surgeons to anyone needing professional tree removal services."

"Ryan was wise and experienced beyond his years and had a top notch crew with him. We had extensive tree trimming done on 4 large trees (he estimated our oak tree at 115 feet), extra maintenance on bushes and removal of small , invasive trees, and fungal treatment of an evergreen. All was done efficiently and in about 5 hours with a competent crew. All branches were put in a chipper and removed, but the most surprising thing of all was they then raked and blew every last leaf and branch up, as well, leaving my yard spotless. I recommend them 100% and feel lucky I found them."

"Great Job! There was alot of tree removal. Ryan had to rent a high lift to cut down and remove a very wobbly tree. He also removed some Hawthorne Trees with horrible thorns. They did a wonderful job of cleaning-up the tree trunks and truckloads of branches. Ryan also trimmed my Maple tree. Great Job Ryan, Thank you."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
