Carney Tree and Landscape, Inc.

In a May 2014 Houzz review, a homeowner wrote that they had already been working with Don Carney for eight years, across two homes and two large landscape projects — each one involving major tree removal, significant re-grading and stonework. A second Houzz customer that same month said they had gone to him three years earlier for an overall plan for their 3/4-acre property, meant to be built out over three or four years. Those are multi-year jobs rather than one-afternoon visits, and they line up with what Houzz lists for the Duxbury company: landscape design, project management and consulting. The same listing says Carney has been in business 45 years. The written history is dated. Three reviews run from 2014 to 2018, all five stars — a 5.0 on Houzz from two ratings, a 5 on Google from two ratings. The newest of them, in July 2018, described people who listened and stayed patient through the job. For a property you want designed once and phased in over several seasons — trees down, grades fixed, stone set — that is the work these customers describe in detail. Because their accounts date from 2014 and 2018, ask Don Carney which recent Duxbury-area properties you can go and walk, and who is running the crew on site now.
