Landscaping company specializing in stump grinding, full service stump grinding, and other landscaping services. Our full service stump grinding includes removal of the stump, removal of a majority of the chips, topsoil spread in stump area, and seed. We look forward to working with you.

"These guys did not communicate well, and skimped on materials. Dropping off guys with a handful of tools for the entire day and no ride to leave at the end of the day in the freezing cold. Tried to invoice me for the entire quote when the job was nowhere near finished. I would advise using a different company unless you?re looking for a simple stump grinding."

Jose Gonzalez specializes in residential and commercial floor installations. I am very knowledgeable about my field and offer competitive pricing. I take great pride in the quality of my work and customer service is my top priority. Give me a call today!

"Joe contacted me in person within an hour of me completing the Angi form. I had five dead trees (ash), all of which were in locations hard to reach from front of house. i did not have a large budget but knew the trees could be a hazard to neighbors if they fell. He suggested removing three that posed the greatest problems. He indicated two of them could be reached with his bucket lift and he had a climber for the larger one that was not withing reach. I thought his price was fair but had to check with my co-owner. When I texted that evening he set up removal for the following weekend. He came with several employees on Friday afternoon about 4 and they finished about 4 the following day. They caused no damage and left the property clean and left me feeling relieved I didn't need to worry about the trees falling and possibly hurting someone. "

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in West Des Moines, IA

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.
