"Got a quote on Monday and she told me they could remove it Tuesday. The large tree was down and the stump was ground below ground level Tuesday afternoon just as promised. They ground the whole tree in their chipper and now I have a large pile of free mulch. Everyone was friendly and hard working. I was amazed how they were able to have everything done in three hours as hot as it was. They will be who I call first."

"After being evacuated from Hurricane Matthew I returned home to see our neighborhood in chaos from many downed trees, and several badly damaged homes. Every tree company in the area was already backed up with work. My sister manages properties in the area and was desperately trying to find a tree company to help us out. While on the phone with a man in Columbia, SC, he mentioned Just Trees, LLC.  He told her they had a great reputation in that area so she sent a message begging for help. The response from Penny Lindsay who partners with Frank Flemming was immediate. They packed up their equipment and arrived the next day. Penny was like a "triage doctor" prioritizing the most serious situations and Frank got to work climbing trees making stressed out homeowners feel confident that they would soon be safe.

To say they were a blessing is more than a comment. To me they arrived on angels wings. Frank and Penny showed compassion and concern for our problems, while reassuring us they could handle it all  And handle it they did. Along with Billy, Joey and Tyler they worked their way through our neighborhood with professionalism and smiles. Because of their caring attitudes, they have been "adopted" by us.   It's day 13 and they have a place to stay in here and people bringing them food! I think that should speak for itself as a recommendation.

Lastly, you are probably wondering "so what did this amazing service" cost? We have all agreed that their rates were better than expected and highly competitive.  Happily for us they will be staying on for another week. Our HOA has hired them to remove trees that were compromised by the hurricane.

Personally, I will miss them when they are gone. I can't thank them enough for all they have done."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in West Columbia, SC

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.
