"Once again, masterful work by the Kruljac team! Had storm damage from the 12/29/24 storm that blew threw the North Hills. Called Ryan's team in for surgical removal of a 60ft cherry tree that had been compromised by the fall of 2 other 80ft white pines. Also took down a remnant 12ft white pine stump from the damage. Fast, efficient brilliant work by this team! Watching Ryan climbing and taking down that 60 ft tree was incredible along with watching the precision dropping of the cut sections was impressive as well. Look folks - these guys are really good at what they do. I've used them several times now. You want tree removals done right and with care - call these guys - you wont be disappointed !!!!"

"This is the third time I have used Hellmann's. Ray has always been responsive and does the job in a timely manner. Prices are reasonable and no down payment is required. I've not even had to be home when the work was done. They leave a bill and I send a check. No sign that's they've even been there other than the trees cut and trimmed. Highly recommend."

"Excellent! They arrived on time, worked steadily, cleaned up thoroughly, accomplishing everything that was asked of them. For instance, one tree that had to be taken down was a dying 80+ foot spruce located within six feet of a spindly oak sapling. I asked them to be careful of the sapling as I wanted it to fill in the canopy left by the spruce. After the tree came down and was carted away, I looked closely at the oak for possible damage which I felt sure there would be. To my surprise, the oak was untouched, not a scratch or broken branch. This is a company of surgeons! I have more work to be done, so I'll be sure to ask them back. They're great!"

"We had three trees with questions about their conditions. We ended up having two of the three trees removed in the third trimmed. Falling Timbers came out and discussed in depth about what branches on our redbud could and should be removed and why we didn’t need to have the entire tree removed. Of the two trees in our front yard, one was completely dead and the other was overgrown, but was beyond the point of being trimmed. We had the two front yard trees removed, and the stumps drilled down, although not removed. The redbud was trimmed. Everything was completed as discussed ahead of time. The pricing was very reasonable. The staff is very courteous, reliable, efficient and professional. I am very satisfied with with the service we received. Highly recommend recommended."

"Greiner Scapes did an awesome job on the two large trees in our yard that desperately needed pruning. Maclaine (owner) was amazing to work with. Kind, responsive, reliable and very fair pricing. It is apparent he is very knowledgeable and skilled in his field. Truly just an all around genuine person and I am so happy to support and promote this new small business. I was not only impressed with his work, but also, the immaculate clean up of our yard after. We had a lot that needed done, so naturally lots of leaves and branches left behind, but after he and his crew were done with clean up, it was like no one had ever been here. I will / already have recommended this business to friends and family and will absolutely use them in the future for additional needs. Thank you Greiner Scapes !"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
