While removing the tree trunk, Carney did not take proper safety precautions such as tying rope around the pieces and moving them carefully to the ground. The tree is on a slope. Instead, the allowed large pieces of tree trunk to free fall to the ground, aiming them for my yard. Some of these pieces (4 feet diameter/10 ft long) rolled towards my home down the slope the tree is located on. As a result, they damaged my property, and two mature trees in my yard. While removing the tree trunk pieces, Carney uprooted a newly planted tree. When I asked a worker about it, he shrugged and walked away. I have called and left 4 messages with the company, but no one has replied.
Description of Work: My neighbor had a large Red Oak tree taken down from his yard by Carney Tree Company.

Carney Tree Company is the best. I've used them twice now. The first time, after leaving voicemail explaining where the tree I wanted removed was located, Mr. Carney stopped by one day while I was at work and then left me voicemail with a price to remove it. I then left voicemail accepting the proposal. One day soon thereafter, I came home and the tree was gone, without a trace. You couldn't really tell a tree had ever grown there; it was now just a circle of sawdust in the grass. A short time later I got an invoice for our agreed-upon price. My second use was just last month when Mr. Carney stopped by to give me a proposal to remove several smaller evergreens and some weeds growing up a pine. Again, the price was right and I know the work will be done right.
Description of Work: Removed a dying red maple from my front yard.

He was good. He got back to me in a good amount of time. He wasn't able to do the stuff the day that he has stated because it rained but he came the next dry day and he got the work done very quickly. They had a good number of people that cleaned up. And, it was a really good price too. He was very quiet though, not that that's a problem but I think that it would help for people to understand you're just a quiet guy. He is definitely approachable but not real boisterous. I've recommended him and both of my neighbors on both sides of my house used him.

Arrived to do the job within the time frame given Completed the job in timely and professional manner (perfect cleanup). Cut the tree limbs into firewood size as requested. I've used them 4X in the past - don't even get competitive estimates any longer I'd give them 6 stars out of a possible five ( gave a nice tip to all four workers

Chris the head of the crew arrived on the agreed date. He had 3 guys with him. My boys enjoyed watching them do all of the tree trimming/cutting/grinding out the front and side windows. They did an amazing job and provided a show for my boys at the same time. Chris looked like he could have done his job blindfolded...he was the main climber and cutter...we were very impressed. We expected for such a big job, it would take all day, BUT the whole job took only 3-4 hours and they were completely cleaned up. They were by far the most professional service we have used ever...Neither my husband or I had to oversee anything, they knew what had to be done and did it. Our neighbor was so impressed, he asked them to grind down one of his stumps on his property and the guys did that too! I had gotten two other estimates that were considerably more then Jim Carney's estimate, but honestly if they were less we still would have gone w/Jim because he was a no nonsense, straight forward guy. Our property looks amazing. We will be using him again in the future for sure as we have 2 other trees that need some work and hopefully, when my husband finally agrees to give up on the ugly, half dead cherry tree in the front yard.
Description of Work: Jim came out to give an estimate for 7 trees on our property..1- to prune a large, OLD, ugly, cherry tree right in our front yard....the tree is actually dying, but my husband wants to save it and see if it will come back after the pruning...2 remove (3) 25 ft. hemlock trees and grind the stumps...3-remove a 35 ft. Norwegian Red Maple tree and grind the stump...4- elevate another 35 ft. Norwegian Red Maple...and 5- trim lower branches of a tree whose branches hung too low over our driveway...Jm gave us his itemized estimate of each tree and we scheduled him to come today.

It went very well. Jim has been a busy guy due to the storms and rain this year. However, he responded to my voicemail quickly, came by after his work day and walked the yard with me, consulting on the various trees and the overgrowth in certain spots. He made a few suggestions that were very helpful, recommended against taking out the large tree right then, and, when we settled on what to do, his estimate was very, very reasonable. He is obviously a hard working guy who runs a business and gives a fair price. I liked supporting the local business owner too (rather than the large national company) and he made it easy. We agreed that it wasn't a rush situation (there was no fallen tree blocking my driveway or such), but I came home the next week one day and my yard looked soooo much better! A couple days later, I noticed the stumps were ground on the 3 we decided on. I will definitely call him first the next time I need tree work.
Description of Work: Cleared an area of overgrowth with several tall bushes/small trees, removed 4 small-medium trees and ground stumps for three of them, removed a low limb on a tree over a slope. Consulted on one large tree that we decided to leave in place for now and watch through the winter.

Both were up near the house. His quote was 50% less than the leading competition.I needed the work done during a certain period to allow for deck construction and landscape renovation to start on time. He responded within 24 hrs to voicemail messages. He also was courteous including using mats when driving trucks and equipment onto the property.

I called this company for an estimate and they gave me their estimate almost immediately. It was so low I thought it might be an error! I'm usually pretty diligent about getting three different estimates for a job, but I didn't think I could beat that price. I gave them the go-ahead and when I went back the trees were gone. They even took some sticks I had piled in our yard from spring-cleanup that I didn't know what to do with. I didn't ask for stump removal, but the stump they left was very short and easily covered with a planter until I want to take the time to remove it. I can't recommend this company highly enough. I've never had a home-repair issue cost *less* than I expected, it was quite refreshing!

Work was great. They were on time and did a great job. Jim told us in detail what he was going to do. He had to remove my fence so he could get his truck behind the house.When they were done they cleaned the yard and put the fence back up. He also did some trimming to homes around me the same day when they came and asked him. Other tree service said the job was hard and cost would be 3000.00 but Jim did it for 1800.00 and he was great. All around great job worth the money.

We started discussing the project in the fall and he put us on the list. It took several months for him to do the work but he apologized that he had lost a man due to injury and so, he was behind. The work was completed satisfactorily and all the debris was cleaned up.
Description of Work: I called Mr. Carney long distance to ask about trimming about 5 mature trees on my mother's lawn. He went out to the property and reported back to me that in his estimation, the trees really didn't need work done. My mother wanted them to be less dense so I asked him for an estimate. His price was less than 2 other estimates. Aside from that, I felt he was honest as he certainly could have taken advantage of the long distance situation.

They did a great job. A couple of branches fell on the house but it was no big deal. Their estimate was well below the other estimates that we received. With the stump ground it looks like there was never a tree there. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and have!
Description of Work: They removed a very large linden tree (about fifty feet tall and three feet in diameter) that was right next to the house and ground the stump. The work took about four days and then they came back separately to grind the stump.

The owner, Jim Carney, returned my phone call promptly and arranged to come to the house for an estimate only 2 days after our call. He was able to do the work 2 days after that! His workers removed the trees quickly and did no damage to our property. Since these were smaller jobs he was able to "fit us in" to his schedule. Larger all day jobs may require a longer wait time. Carney also pointed out pests on another tree and recommended a treatment plan. Carney's estimate was exactly HALF of an estimate from another company.
Description of Work: Carney's crew cut down two trees (a chestnut and a small dogwood) and ground out the stumps.

I watched Carney Tree Company drop two 50 foot trees growing within 10 feet of my neighbor's house, and then walked over and asked for a price to remove my problem tree. Jim gave me a very reasonable price, but said it would be several weeks before he could do the work. About three weeks later they arrived. After they started, I asked them to remove problem branches from 2 additional trees, which they did willingly. This added a very reasonable $50 to the price. Jim Carney and his crew are amazing to watch. They're quick, skilled, and there was never any question about exactly where the tree was going to fall. You don't have to worry about property damage with these folks -they know what they're doing. I will use them again.
Description of Work: Jim and crew removed a large tulip poplar (60 ft+) which was located right next to my house and deck. They dropped the tree with no damage to the house and with minimal turf damage and removed all the wood from a difficult-to-access location. A crew member returned several hours later to grind the stump. After they left all that remained was a neat pile of stump grindings and wonderful morning sunlight on the deck now that the tree was gone. Oh yeah - no more tree droppings on the deck. The brown circle in the foreground of the picture is all that remains of the tree. (The pile of stump grindings was removed).

This company trimmed branches from a sugar maple in our front yard. The branches were touching the roof and as leaves fell they were beginning to clog our gutters. They also trimmed back some and removed shrubs from the side of our house. The whole process was over a couple of days; trimming of maple tree one late afternoon and shrub trimming one morning the next week. We were very pleased with the work. Workers were very courteous and cleaned the area after they were finished.

Jim Carney is very reasonably priced and really knows trees. He is on time and very professional. I would highly recommend him. If I ever need tree service, I will call him again.
Description of Work: Carney Tree company took down two trees that each were over 75 years old. They were very large trees and very close to the house. Jim cut down the trees without touching the house with even a leaf. He also removed several shrubs and ground up the tree stumps.
