Although Davey Tree's specialty is taking care of and removing trees, the company is also an excellent choice for consumers in need of general lawn care. A wide variety of lawn care and landscaping options in addition to other utility services and environmental consulting make Davey Tree a well-rounded alternative. While it does not offer any price estimates online, potential customers can call for a free consultation. The company also benefits from a solid reputation and mostly positive consumer feedback online.

Davey Tree's lawn care services are broad, encompassing a variety of treatment methods. The company does, however, lack soil amendment and irrigation options. On the other hand, its tree and shrub services are a clear strong point in addition to its landscaping abilities. The company's lawn solutions are available for both residential and commercial spaces. For those looking to embark on lawn care projects themselves, Davey Tree provides a wealth of informative articles and video tutorials.

To whom it may concern: We write to provide feedback on a recent transaction involving trimming our arborvitae hedge. When Davey trimmed this hedge earlier in the year, we thought the hedge should have been trimmed to a lower height previously discussed w/Joe Oszust's staff. Subsequently, we brought this to Joe's attention. He and his staff returned to trim it until it was more in line w/our expectations. Joe managed the trimming to ensure that the subsequent growth would be delayed until after Winter, assuring that winterkill would not involve the anticipated re-growth. This involved no additional charges - we could not be happier with the end result. This is a great example of the... Read More

We've used Davey Tree Services for over 10 years. We've tried others who were equally good but much more expensive. Davey provided logical assessment of our trees, recommended good resolutions, showed up promptly with crews who were positive, friendly, task oriented and thorough in completing the job and leaving the property in clean, neat fashion. Our HOA respects their services and recommendations. I don't have time to shop around. Davey is the service I'm sticking with because of their reliability in all the factors above.

This company will rip you off. Signed an 1800 contract for a treatment plan. Only for them to claim that the cost was PER TREATMENT... Meaning to have our trees treated would have been upwards of 3000. Mind you, we had 4 moderately-sized crape myrtles and a handful of saplings. There are far more transparent companies with much better customer service. Save your money and go elsewhere.

below is the email I sent to the rep in the Columbus Ohio location. "Eric,I just wanted to let you know that our experience with the people that came to ground out the stumps was very poor for the following reasons. We were not told when they would arrive to complete the job. Luckly my wife was home when they arrived. The people that arrived to ground out the stumps were extremely rude to my wife. They grounded out the wrong stump. They were supposed to ground out three stumps in the back yard. Instead they grounded out two stumps in the back yard and one stump in the front yard."

I made the mistake of hiring Davey tree for having a tree stump removed. We had electricity running out to our back yard for a future gazebo/hot tub and they accidentally cut the power supply. Gopher One came and marked where it was and we specifically showed them the location as well. We had a conversation with their representative and we told they weren't able to assist any further as they weren't responsible. They never offered to reimburse or get the electricity restored.

I made the mistake of hiring Davey tree (San Diego location) for trimming a pine tree that was overhanging on my property. I chose to hire what I thought was "professional" company, as the problem tree was owned by the city of San Diego and was also located on HOA property. When Daniel, Davey tree representative arrived in July 2015 to give me an estimate, I asked him whether I needed to get any permits (from the city or from the HOA). Daniel said that was not necessary as they were professionals and knew how to trim a tree without causing damages and thus the city or the HOA did not need to be contacted. Additionally, he said that because the tree was causing damage to my property I had... Read More
