Johnny Timbers Tree Service

Very nice and knowledgeable. Work was good and they cleaned up all tree material that was left in the yard and driveway. They did request cash, but my dad owns a business as well and that is a preferred payment with alot of companies due to the cost of credit card machines and lots of bounced checks, so that was not an issue with me. I will use them again if needed.

The workers were polite, skilled, and hard-working.  When they were finished (two full days of work by 3-4 people) they cleaned up my yard and deck of all of the debris and left everything looking great.  The owner, John Hull, was very knowledgeable & responsive and although he didn't perform the work himself, he gave his crew good instructions and checked back frequently to make sure things were being done correctly.  He returned my initial call immediately, came out the next day to survey the problems and give me an estimate, and scheduled the work to be done within a week.  They also did some major tree-work for a neighbor who was as pleased as I was.  I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.

John was very prompt in returning my phone calls.  This is after leaving messages for other companies that didn't return my calls.  He came out and did the estimate while I was away and called me with quote.Told me that he would do work as soon as possible. Stated that he was busy and that he would do the work within 3 weeks.  They came about a week later and took down the bush quickly and cleaned up the driveway.  Sweep mulch into hole.I was very pleased with work and will call him again and recommend him in the future.

They were the only ones that we talked to that would actually come out. He was there exactly when he said he would be, he took care of the damage from the hurricane, and he put us on the list for our trees to be trimmed and he actually came when he said he would. I would absolutely use him again and already plan on him coming back.

He did an exceptional job. I was very pleased. He was very professional. He left some mulch behind for me to use. I got a couple estimates and his was the best.

Our tree was leaning and the trunk cracked. So many other people had worse situations after the hurricane that we hadn't been able to get our usual tree company to respond. Eventually we called Johnny Timbers and were gratified by their quick response and scheduling.  
    The actual removal of the tree was accomplished, so I'm glad it's gone, but several aspects of the experience were disquieting.  First, they wanted to be paid in cash.  This was slightly inconvenient, but we needed the tree down before it landed on our neighbor's house and they were the only tree company that had called us back.    
    More importantly, I question the training and judgement of the men who removed the tree.  John himself seemed competent and knowledgeable, but he left the job in the hands of his employees after issuing, he told me, precise instructions.  The employees disregarded those instructions.  One climbed the leaning, cracked tree instead of climbing a neighboring tree as planned.  After he removed several branches, with the weight reduced, the tree swung up and the man cut himself in the neck with his chain saw.  From inside I heard shouts of "Get a tourniquet" and saw the man scrambling down the tree while clutching his neck.  Fortunately he had a trip to the emergency room but apparently no serious injuries.  John was abashed, apologetic, and assured me that was the first injury they had experienced in years.     
     Would I use them again?   I suppose so, but I think I'd request that John himself remain on the site and supervise the job.

We used Johnny Timbers for emergency tree removal following Hurricane Irene.  We had large trees down in our yard and on our fence.  Given the lack of emergency with no trees on the house or leaning near the house, we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly they were able to come out, both for the estimate and the actual work.  They were professional, on time, fast with the work, and left the area cleaner than it was before.  We would definitely use them again.  I can't say much about the price because we were not able to get multiple estimates for comparison in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane.

Excellent! Owner John is extremely professional. This is the 3rd service they've provided and they've done excellent work each time. Last summer they removed a very large tree leaning toward the house, and trimmed the very high dead branches on another tree - all on the same day I requested service. During the most recent service they removed all the deadwood in my woodline behind my house, and trimmed all the trees on my property. Looks great! They left my property immaculate. Had I not seen where they cleaned up my forest floor and trimmed my trees, I would not have known they were there. I will always call Johnny Timbers for future tree service.

The tree was about 20" at the base and quite tall. It also was about 12 feet from our house. We discussed options on how to drop it and decided to have it fall across the street into our neighbors yard on a week day after school was in session and commuters had left. The crew arrived on time, were well equipped and very professional. They had the street closed for less than five minutes. They did no damage to my neighbors or my yard and cleaned up so well that no one would have realized they had been there or what they had done. They also managed to not hit any nearby trees or plants.
