"Requesting a quote from and then hiring Illinois Tree Service was quick and easy. Their quote was the same as another large operation in town, but they didn't need to bring massive equipment into the yard as the other company had in the past. A large crew of men worked safely and efficiently for about six to seven hours to remove both old cottonwoods and grind their stumps. They cleaned up beautifully as they worked and left the yard free of sticks and branches. I would highly recommend them."

"Michael is a true pro. He is very responsive and is an expert on tree care. We had our 40 year old diseased maple removed and the stump ground down. The crew was very careful not to destroy planting in the area of the tree. They also cleaned up impeccably when they were finished clearing the tree. We have other trees on our property that need care such as spraying and fertilizing. We are turning all our tree care over to Michael and the AAA Arborist Tree Experts."

"I had a large maple tree in an enclosed backyard that reached over fences and power lines. Rubio responded quickly to my inquiry, explaining the general condition of the tree and his recommendation for removal. The price he quoted was very competitive, and he was able to begin work on the tree that week. Once they started, the 4 person crew removed the tree without damage to power line or fence, ground the large stump, and removed all the remains of the tree. They finished the job in two days. They had the price, know how, equipment, and personnel to do the job. Based on my experience, I recommend Rubio."

"Best price all around, and the best quality work around. I had five trees removed from my property, one of which was extremely big. These guys started at 8:30 and cut all 5 trees down, removed the stumps and roots, and clean the whole property in less than 8 hours. I have already recommended these guys to two of my friends and will continue to refer them in the future. This company earned and deserved the 5 star rating across the board. Donâ t hesitate to call them!"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Wood Dale, IL

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.
