Kevin Tode, the arborist, was very professional and easy to work with. Crew showed up on time, were also professional and cleaned up the yard better than when they showed up in the morning. They did a wonderful job on pruning my trees. They look so healthy now.

I was really impressed with Downes. They were very responsive and knowledgeable. Carly and Scott were a pleasure to work with. They did great work being very careful about the property and thoroughly cleaned up after with the property looking better than when they started.

Excellent job clearing and stumping three massive trees on my property, completed everything in a day as they came in with massive crew. Make sure Russ is running the site, he was professional and executed on what was promised 100%. He makes sure the site is running safe and clean. Even came back to put my fence together as promised. Use Downes!
