I called to get an estimate on a large ash tree that needed to be removed. Jamie was so kind and polite on the phone. Took my information that they needed so they could do a bid. Ben Kubas (owner) came out and checked out the tree for an estimate. A couple days later I received an electronic bid. So easy to accept the contract with them. A week later their crew came out and removed the tree and did the stump grinding also. This company does both procedures. Left the backyard clean from debris from the tree and also cut the larger pieces to size for a friend of mine for fire wood. I highly recommend this company for a tree removal and stump grinding. read more

Ben came and appraised the job, and made the bid. Then Sean & Tim came and trimmed multiple maple and oak trees, removed a dead fir and cleaned up EVERYTHING when they were done! Terrific work! We wouldn't use any other service! Good value for the prices and the best job you could imagine! The Wards read more

I had a lot of tree work in front of and over my house and had to do it before storm season.--I called a well known tree agency--they wanted to look at it in a week.But one review said Collins was good--I got them on the phone-they were almost instantly there to look.And they were ready to work on my job right away!Boy did they work fast!Very good job and good price too.Now I know where to get great tree and grounds work done!Real go-getters! Amazing! read more

Quality service, nice folks, went the extra mile and were priced fairly. I probably didn't get charged enough as they needed a crane for tree removal. Good clean-up. read more

This is a wonderful locally owned business run by great group of folks. I highly recommend them. The owner is kind and professional, and he has a great crew! read more

Requested a quote by email and James didn't bother to read it. Upon arriving he gave a quote equal to my weekly take home pay. I declined and did the trimming myself and paid another person $60 to haul away the limbs and debris. read more

Never thought I would have such strong opinions about a tree company but I literally loved working with them. They were fair, extremely easy to work with, professional, if there was ever even the slightest issue they resolved it quickly, and Very easy to schedule with. Not to mention I feel like the lady I always talked with on the phone was so friendly I almost looked forward to talking to her! Can't recommend them enough. read more

They came quickly during a storm and did an evaluation for me. They decided my tree wasn't about to fall on the neighbors anytime soon so they came back and did the job later. They did forget to show up the first time but i assume they were busy from emergencies?. They did a nice job and were reasonably priced. I would recommend them. read more

Probably some of the most talented tree climbers I've ever seen in my life. They came out and did a great job there on time no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend dipping them well! You won't regret it in the end for certain! read more

II would not recommend this tree service. They cleaned up behind themselves very well and had a good price. But they did not seem to understand the directions I gave them about how I wanted a large Japanese maple that shaded my large patio to be pruned and shaped. I was very clear about what I needed, to both the estimator and the crew leader when they arrived to to do the work. But apparently none of that got translated to the actual crew very well. Sadly, more of the canopy was removed on the west side than I had wanted and now there is a lot of late day sun and heat on the patio for the rest of the season. Not at all what I had intended. I did point this out to the crew leader who expressed he was sorry ... but what can be done, branches are gone and cannot be replaced. On another tree, it was similar but opposite. Here I had the opportunity to go and explain again what I needed but only got half the results requested. Not enough removed. I made the mistake of paying the invoice but once I realized how off this whole affair had gotten I wrote an email to the company explaining my disappointment. But the bill had been paid and not much could be done here either. However, I did expect at least some sort of a reply. Nada. Nothing. Zip. Just a canceled check. It also became clear to me that some of the kids they had working for them didn't have enough experience to really know how to correctly prune. I can say this as a person who has a masters degree in horticulture and have a good bit of knowledge and experience in pruning. My advice, if you are looking for an arborist who can follow direction, pay attention to details, and have experienced crew members, I would suggest you look elsewhere. They are probably fine for work at a rental property or tree removal but beyond that I would be very skeptical. read more

Super helpful, our trees are very large older fir trees. They came in and cleaned up the broken branches and trimmed up some lower hanging to provide better light for our yard. Cleaned the process and we are very happy. read more

Recently we were caught in the snowstorm that took out many trees in the tri counties. Being that we travel in a 5th wheel and are staying at Deerwood RV Park, it was a bad thing. The mighty oak an ash trees were falling around us like crazy, and we had a large one crash down on us. I called Brian on his phone Wednesday and he said James was already at my park taking care of someone else. I walked down and watched as he masterfully trimmed a huge oak and was able to remove this behemoth from their roof. James then proceeded to come down and, with surgical skill, dispatched my problem tree with precision, amazing forethought and expert ability. He saved me hundreds of $$ by choosing to climb/repel and use his block n tackle, pulley, winch and ropes instead of bringing a bucket truck back in. Amazing work, even better customer service!! Highly recommend!! read more

Very polite people and pleasant to work with. They set a time to arrive and how long the job would take and both were within 10 minutes of their quote. I would definitely use them again. read more

I have a very large and old cherry tree in my front yard. It had a number of branches hanging over the property line and above my neighbor's driveway. I wanted to be proactive and get after them before they started dumping cherries again. I feel like the quote I received was fair and they stuck to that price even though they came back out for me to be really exact in what I was asking from them. James Cummings is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he cares about what he is doing. We live in the PacNW so it's hard not to feel a love for the trees and try to balance safety and responsible growth with their continued prosperity in mind as well, so I appreciate his mindset. After all the work was done, you couldn't even tell they had been there debris wise, just that the tree had been scaled back precisely as much as I had requested. They were not satisfied until I was and that is a quality that is very valuable in any company one chooses to gift with their business. I will use them again any time I need any more work done. -James Nelthy Roberts III read more

They were able to schedule my job quickly. The crew got the job done well and efficiently. I enjoyed talking with them while they were at the house. They gave good counsel on how to continue taking care of my trees in the future. read more

From the very first contact with this company, it has been a wonderful experience. From Darren who came out to give the estimate to Brian who arranged the scheduling of the workers, to Yaneev the tree trimmer to Andy the groundman all were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Yaneev was great the way he explained the reason for trimming/not trimming our Leylands and Doug Fir. What was best for the trees was his concern. I like that. The trimming was great! And the cleanup was great as well. Thanks, guys for a wonderful experience. I sincerely appreciate it. These will be my go-to-guys in the future for many years to come. read more

A tree from a neighbor's yard fell on our house last Tuesday at 4 am. I called Cummings at 5:30 am to leave a message and reached a person! They sent out a crew by 10 am that day and removed the tree. Came back the next day to finish cleaning up and place a tarp on the roof where there were a couple of small holes. They even cleaned up our driveway which had detritus from the wind storm and cleaned our neighbor's driveway that they'd used to park their truck while working on our roof. Amazing! read more

James Cummings Tree Service removed all our landscaping plants and trees from a property we are remodeling. It was a bank owned property and we needed to start over since it had been neglected for five years. The house is located in the Valley River Village Subdivision and the property line borders one of the ponds. The Homeowners Subdivision was very concerned the tree removal would cause damage to the pond liner, the walkway pedestrian paths and common area. James Cummings Tree Service used large cranes and a array of other large trucks/equipment. They worked with us for hours discussing the project. Never did they have us feel comfortable answering our many questions and communicating a workable plan. They began at 9 and finished at 5. This was a large complicated job. They left with every detail attended to. The property was cleaned of all debris, clippings... everything associated with the removal. We were there most the day out of curiosity... and what I saw was a crew which were professional in every way. They all had great attitudes. A five star rating does not communicate how grateful I am for the service they offer. They far exceeded our expectations. If you need work done... don't look any further! Serious! read more

Great experience overall, highly recommended. They had the best quote after calling a few different places.

Long story short: amazing, reliable tree service. James is a perfectionist and is concerned about everyone's safety. The team does perfect jobs that deserve way more than just 5 stars, but that is all you get at Yelp. Watching them working is scary and fascinating. Such high talented professional arborists. No impulsive cuts. Every step is planned thoughtfully, for their and others safety. They absolutely know what they are doing. If you need a tree job to be done PERFECT "James Cummings tree service" is the one to go! No doubt! Guys with heart AND knowledge. Always friendly and helpful. read more

Cummings removed a tree from my neighbor and in the process demolished a park bench in my yard and destroyed a section of my fence. An employ offered to pay for the bench and repair the damaged fence. He offered $100 for the bench but have not seen it. Was going to replace the fence on his own time on a saturday but did not. I replaced the fence on my time and materials as the damaged fence is on a public walkway and people or animals could enter my yard. My tenants were very nervous so I saw an urgency to get it fixed. They say they do not see a responsibility to pay for the fence replacement because they were going to do in their own good time read more

We got 6 bids before getting our leaning 60 year old oak tree taken down. We were shocked at the differences in prices for the same job. James Cummings Tree Service was the lowest bid, but also had amazing service. The young man, Darren, that did the bid was very professional, clean cut and knowledgeable about trees and their company's services. He obviously deeply cares about trees. The crew was just as personable and wonderful to work with. They were on time, efficient and cleaned everything up. Wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend them. read more

I have two trees removed by James Cummings tree service. Both times I was told that the tree was dead, but they weren't. The first tree now has 8 ft. of new growth coming from the big ugly stump they left. Today they took down the second tree and it was also very much alive. It seems to me that they'd rather bid for the removal of the tree instead of trimming and pruning. They get more money and I get left with a big ugly stump. They also broke my fence, tore up the lawn, smashed my hydrangea, and left a mess that I'll have to clean up. read more

Hire James Cummings Tree Service (JCTS) if you want the best in the business! Im writing this review on a wet Sunday afternoon. Earlier today a large Oak tree landed on my roof. I needed assistance quickly. I had previously hired JCTS to take out a large Fir tree that was dangerously close (growing through the deck). His crew skillfully took it down in pieces. They impressed me on that day, so I called today and they came out immediately. James seems to be a perfectionist and very concerned for quality as well as safety. In a matter of hours they had completed the job. At a VERY reasonable price. He is an arborist, a great logger, does what he says he is going to do when he says he'll do it. What more can you ask for? Oh, and his equipment is all top notch. You will be happy that you contacted JCTS! read more

We just had James Cummings Tree Service remove a large tree from our back yard. Prior to giving them the OK, I met with their estimator twice. Not only were we concerned about damage to our landscaping but also our neighbor's expensive new driveway as Cummings needed to access this driveway in order to remove our tree. We are very pleased with their work as they showed great care in protecting both our properties. Not a plant was damaged nor a drop of oil was left on the driveway. In addition, the cost for the work was very reasonable. If we have a need for tree work in the future, we will definitely call James Cummings Tree Service. read more

Very honest and fast scheduled crew. We are very happy with the tree service they provided for us in Eugene.

We called James's tree service when we needed 4 tall, dead trees removed, because several neighbors had recommended them after JCTS had work done for them. We, also, were extremely pleased with their work! JCTS is licensed, bonded, and insured, which is what we'd decided we'd need. We had a tricky site because the pumphouse and some power lines were close to our project. The James crew crew felled those dead trees exactly where they wanted to, then chipped and hauled away all the brush and cut the good logs into fireplace-length pieces, leaving them easily accessible for us and our neighbors to gather - all as they had promised in writing and for a fair price. Not only that, but they are very nice and caring - they understand the trees, and also our concerns about them. Look no farther, you can't find a better tree service company! read more

This company definitely deserves five stars for their quality of service. We used them in the fall of 2017 to cut away branches from the trees in our front yard, some too low and some were dead. Not only were they the best priced out of three quotes from two other highly rated companies, but they did an incredible job. When I saw how much better our front yard looked, I was blown away. The end result looked even better than what we had hoped for. They were also friendly, courteous, and efficient. I could not ask for a better experience. read more

We just had three trees removed by James Cummings. Price was reasonable. We couldn't be happier at this point. The crew was respectful, did a very professional job and cleaned up nicely. Definately deserving of a five star rating. Would use them again in a minute read more

We had a 120ft+ fir tree growing through our deck when we bought our house. Yes, someone actually built a deck around a tree?! Anyway this tree was about six feet from our house let alone our house being on a hill. We had a couple services even no-quote it due to the difficulty. Not James's service. These guys are the real-deal; brought a crane and climbers in and made a difficult job look easy. They were extremely professional from quotation to completion. I highly recommend them to anyone needing tree service. read more

We had a great experience with James Cummings Tree Service. Their estimator Darren came out twice, and talked me through some short-term needs and long-term possibilities to care for our oaks and firs. He was friendly, genuine, and straightforward, and gave a totally reasonable estimate (I got 3 estimates, and JCTS tied with another company for the best price). They worked with me to find a date that would work for all of us, and even squeezed it in before my daughter's birthday party! Jim came to do the actual tree removal (4 dead trees and a large widowmaker branch), and his work was efficient and high-quality. They even did a great job cleaning up! To be honest, I'd been putting off some tree removals, because I was worried it would be prohibitively expensive and a big hassle, but this process was neither. I'm glad to have found a tree service that I can work with for years! read more

I chose a 5 star rating because of the excellent job James Cummings Tree Service did with the removal and trimming of several trees on our rental properties. The bid was reasonable, the work was done on time, the job site was left clean. He gave us sound advice on the care of our trees. We felt that the advice offered was what was best for our situation and not to get more dollars. He helped us determine which tree was dangerous and which could be saved. We appreciate his integrity. This is the third job we've had done by this company and we are pleased with the results. read more

These guys were great and came highly recommended by friends of ours who own several properties around Eugene. They cleaned up the widow makers from several large fir trees on my property as well as an oak that had snapped a large branch from the ice storm. They also removed several smaller trees that were too close to each other and the fence. The crew was cheerful, efficient and clean. One of the crew members even shared a copy of the video he took of the valley from atop one of the big firs. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. read more

We are so very happy with the amazing service provided by James Cummings Tree Service. There were 3 specialists who came to our home - Shawn, Jim and Evan - to remove trees and to prune and remove dead branches from our 4 Douglas Fir trees, They were very efficient, pleasant, hard-working and did an amazing job with all that we asked - and more! The clean-up was far better than we had expected! We are completely satisfied and highly recommend them!!! The estimate and the work was all done in a very timely manner - and Lynnea provided good suggestions and professionalism. Excellent experience in every way!! read more
