Home Services reviews in Hawthorne, New Jersey

The town of Kearny had Downes remove an old tree stump from the front of my property and install a new tree. The men did a fantastic job and clean up, and they were all very pleasant - a GREAT CREW and worked well together. They also put a large green plastic zipper water container around the tree to insure its grown and protection. I would highly recommend Downes.

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!

Needed 2 monster sumac trees that looses large branches in high winds removed.Also large branches from a maple tree that hung over my house and a neighbors garage .DOWNES sent out their arborist KEVIN who did a site survey and an estimate. Kevin had to work with 3 other property owners, a garden apartment building , a fire house and a liquor store.,since a crane and a large bucket truck would need to be placed in their parking lots. The Downes crew that came out did an excellent job, they took care of everything in a professional manner, and did a neat clean up afterwards. They also had to track down some vehicle owners before they could start. This is the second time I've used DOWNES and wouldn't hesitate to call them again. THANX DOWNES GUYS

I recently had work done by Downes Tree Service and what a professional company they have. The crew was always on time, very efficient and the outcome was more than I could ask for! Would definitely recommend to friends and family looking for tree or lawn care.

Had the opportunity to have mulch delivered to my home before our graduation party. I was very happy with the work that was done. Worked with Veronica. She was extremely helpful and very professional on the phone. I would recommend when calling Downes and looking for mulch, ask for Veronica.

They did a fantastic job downing trees, pruning and removing deadwood on an acre property. They listen, are safe and thorough, cleanup beautifully, and were incredibly respectful and professional to work with. So happy! Worth every penny.

Very unprofessional group. Doing some work for the township. They didn’t have any of the road blocked off besides their two vehicles parked blocking the street. Where all of the crew was standing between the two vehicles. I live two house in from where they were going to be working this was about 7:40 am. I was told that the gentleman couldn’t move because he’s doing work for the township and wouldn’t even allow me to come onto my own block. He told me that I could go all the way around because there’s going to be a crane to remove trees later on today. I said to him but I’m just trying to get to my house that is a few doors down. Told me again that I can go all the way around the block because they are working and he wasn’t moving his vehicle. There was no one working at this time. Everyone was standing drinking coffee and laughing.

We used Downes to remove a very difficult and dangerous oak right next to our house. Kevin and his team were superlative in every way. I highly recommend Downes.

Great company. Had severe storm damage this past storm (as did most people) and they were so helpful. While they had so many emergencies to handle I didn't feel like I was getting forgotten at all. The work was done in a timely manner and the crew couldn't have been more professional. Will recommend to anyone who asks.

Downs just trimmed some huge trees in my yard today (07/27/2020). They run a professional operation. Every single worker on site took the time to walk around the yard, and verify all of the trees to be trimmed. They carefully placed a cardboard material on my lawn to minimize damage as the heavy trucks drove on to it. Upon completion, they cleaned the area so well that there were no sign that they were even there, except for the trimmed trees. The person I dealt with was Scott Romandetta, I’d recommend asking for him, and I also recommend this company.

Downes Tree removed a tree that fell on my driveway during Hurricane Isaias. The staff in the office was helpful and quick to assist me, and the team that removed the tree was good at communicating with me, efficient, quick, and organized. From set up to clean up the entire process took about 15 min or so. Very professional, it was a pleasure. I would certainly recommend them to anyone in need of tree removal.

I could not have imagined a better experience than the one I had with Downes! Fair and respectful, they fixed my problem while simultaneously assuring me that they were happy to perform the work however I wanted. Carly was informative and kind, and I never once doubted that the job would be done punctually and correctly. It was very nice to deal with such a wonderful company during these troubled times!

Downes Tree service sprayed 50 yards of mulch for us in our backyard. Phenomenal job by Diego, Brian and Giovanni! Neat, Clean job and the landscaping is now eye catching. 2 years in a row a 5 star experience with Downes!

We contracted Downes to cut down 2 trees. They were excellent in every way. They came when they said they would, were super efficient and safe and cleaned up after themselves. Would definitely use them again.

I just purchased firewood for two locations for the upcoming winter season. This was my first dealing with Downes and I an so glad I called them. From Rebekah taking my orders and scheduling the deliveries and the yard crew and driver that picked and delivered my orders the expierence was excellent. The quality of the firewood was so much better than other suppliers I have dealt with in the past, no "junk" was part of the deliveries. Keep these guys in mind as to they are very customer centric.

Scott who came to give us the estimated took the time to explain what would be done to prune our trees. He was very professional and we received the quote the next day, their prices were reasonable. On the day of the work they came on time and were quite professional, they certainly have any equipment that might be needed. They made sure everything was cleaned up prior to leaving. I would recommend them to anyone.

Downes has transformed my overgrown and neglected yard into an absolute paradise. I had no idea what I wanted or what could even be done with it but Jason Usnick from Downes made it amazingly easy and delivered just stunning results, I couldnt have even imagined this! Thanks for the great work Jay and the Downes crews who worked here, the attention to detail is simply amazing!!

Excellence!! Thank you Downes, a truly special business that cares about each client and job. We had the pleasure of working with Colleen, Victor, Victor Jr., and the entire crew. They were amazing! They took down trees, pruned and performed stump grinding, trimmed, and even identified a Black knot fungus on certain trees, they did it all!! Our yard looks beautiful! Their professional and expertise were the cherry on top. Thank you Downes. Look forward to working with you again!

Amazing experience!! The entire team at Downes treated our job like it was the only and most important job they had. Colleen in the office was kind, friendly and professional. Mike who assessed our job was knowledgeable and very helpful. Russell and his entire crew were excellent, on time, and extremely professional. And lastly the stump removal crew that came later were also top notch!! Highly recommend this company for your tree service needs. Great experience from beginning to end!!

If you are in need of tree removal/maintenance, I highly recommend Downes Tree Service of Hawthorne.
We had a massive tree fall in our backyard and Arborist Kevin was at my home within minutes of my initial call. He provided a suitable estimate for submission to my insurance company and the crew arrived early the next day to complete the work, leaving virtually no sign of the fallen tree. It was amazing! Cannot recommend them enough.

If your looking for a tree removal company, Downes is the right choice! I can not tell you how grateful I am for them! The price was great for starters. They were quick, professional and so kind! I highly recommend them!!!
