Downes Tree Service Inc

We purchased about 100 yards of topsoil from Downes. It is FILLED with tiny gravel. Our grass is struggling to grow around all of the tiny gravel. After the first rainfall, the soil compacted down into a hard crust that repels water. Each load was delivered by a grumpy driver who was seemingly annoyed by the inconvenience of the order. Will never use again and would never recommend to anyone. What a complete waste of thousands of dollars.

Downes removed a huge tree branch from my property that had fallen. It was the size of a tree itself and did some damage to my house. They were extremely fast and thorough. The job was done in about two hours. The total time between my phone call and the completion of the job was about 5 hours. I will highly recommend them to all my neighbors and friends.

Downes Tree Service removed two huge trees, a maple and a pine, each easily over fifty feet tall and one very near my house. They arrived when they said they would and stayed until they were finished. They used a crane and carefully removed both trees without damaging trees of the house. And they nicely cut the stumps down to practically nothing, an inch or two high. That was amazing. The team also used leaf blowers to clean the leaves and debris from their limb grinder off the street and my driveway. The crew left the segments of the tree trunks which were too big to grind along the side of the street. A couple hours after the cutting team had left another truck arrived and used a small crane to pick up the pieces of the trunks and put them on the truck bed. The loading process took about fifteen minutes. It was an all around excellent job.

Downes Tree Service employees are the best! I had tree work done right before Sandy (thank God) and we ran into a little problem. When the crew arrived they noted that equipment could not access the back yard. All the work had to be done by hand. They LITERALLY carried each branch and trunk piece out by hand. Furthermore, I asked that they not make any big divots in the lawn and flower bed, so they carefully handled each piece of the tree, lowering it slowly into the hands of a waiting employee to be carried off. When complete, they cleaned up and it was as if the tree was never there. I was impressed to say the least. Considering the price, responsiveness, and professionalism, I'll use Downes Tree Service again in a heartbeat if I ever need another tree removed.
