"We have a 41 acre property that unfortunately had a large number of Ash trees that were dying due to to the Ash Borer insects in our area. Gordon Frazier gave us a very competitive price to cut and remove over 50 trees and remove the stumps on about 15 of those trees. This was a large and difficult job. He stuck to the quoted price was timely with service. He and his team were very professional, courteous and left our property clean and tidy. I would recommend him to anyone and would use him again."

"It went really well. I had had several bids on that particular tree because it was dying and I was concerned with how it was going to be taken down since it was a very large tree. They gave me a really good price, showed up on time, got right to work and cleaned up well and we are very happy with the service."

"Destiny's Tree Service is a wonderful company to work with. We had two huge Leland cypress trees twice as tall as our house, wedged between two houses. Marvin and his Destiny's crew were amazing. They skillfully removed both trees, being careful not to damage the houses, roof, bushes, and lawn. Then they did a perfect job again removing two big stumps. Everyone paid such attention to detail. They are truly tree work artists and we want to say thank you so much. Also very reasonable priced."

"Outstanding. Mike contacted me right away and came over within the hour to look at the downed tree limb. His work crew arrived within a couple of hours after that to remove the tree limb. Everything is cleaned up and looks great. Thank you very much."

"Process started out well with a good consultation and recommendations. I specifically needed expertise in some crepe myrtles that had never been trimmed as well as the health of a cherry tree that I was interested in keeping healthy. The work crew did a great job. The checked everything off the list. They were professional, fast, and efficient. Will keep these guys for annual trims and tree work"

"This was my first tree removal job that I contracted out so I lack comparison, but I can say this: Anthony came out to give an estimate. The job was to remove nine large trees as well as their stumps that were close to the house, two of them were dead. I asked to have the trimming of two other trees' dead branches included in the estimate. He seemed knowledgeable and trustworthy and the agreed upon price was very competitive. The estimated time to complete the job was two to three days, and the leadtime several weeks. After comparing with 3 other proposals of providers with similar size and feedback profile, I decided to go with Anthony. A competitor would have done the same job in the following week, but for almost double the price - not worth it. Anthony and his crew showed up as planned and on time to do the job. They removed all trees and stumps in a professional manner. They worked around the obstacles and seemed to have everything under control. For an additional cost they removed some additional tree stumps. At the end they cleaned up thouroughly and left me happy and with more sunlight in the backyard. The project was completed after two and a half days just like estimated. I would recommend them to friends and neighbors and already have."

"We had a dead tree in front they removed that. They still have to grind it down. They trimmed several trees away from the house. It went well. They did the job quickly. I thought the price was very reasonable considering I compared it to the price from another company. I was happy with the work. I'm still waiting till they actually removed the stump, ground it down. I liked the price most. The work was very professional. They brought it down, nothing was harmed. They did have an equipment malfunction that delayed them a little, about a day."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Waterford, 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.
