We hired Davey Tree Service (S&S Tree Service) Minneapolis/St. Paul for a re-landscape project of our front yard. From the beginning we encountered nothing but problems. Timeframe for receiving the landscape plan was not met, when the plan and bid was received, it was not detailed. When the sales person was asked for a detailed bid, it took several weeks. We ended up hiring a different company to do some of the tree removal and stump grinding for significantly less money. When the crew arrived to complete the work they were ... read more

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 ... read more

I have been a customer of Davy Tree for many years. Recently they changed their service personnel. They no longer care for your lawn. Instead they simply get the job done as quickly as possible. Recently they over applied grub kill and my lawn is now dead. My lawn has gone from one of the best looking lawns in the neighborhood to the worst lawn in the neighborhood. We have been provided no reason or solution. I believe the company has turn from caring for the customer to caring for the stock holders.

I had a large birch bark tree removed from our front yard. I contacted Eric F***** and I was very pleased with the feedback. The pricing was much better than other companies I had contacted in Columbus Ohio. He sent me the insurance forms via email without me having to request them. I have run into that issue with other companies and was pleasantly surprised. The work crew was very professional and polite and went the extra mile; they had to work around the neighbor who did not re-locate her/his car. I was worried they would... read more

This company working as a contractor for DTE Energy entered my property and were suppose to cut trees from the electrical lines. I have two pine trees that I have had for ever 40 years and every year they get cut but this year with this service they damaged my pine trees without using a bucket to do the cutting. They were climbing the trees from the bottoms and damaging the trees and cutting into them without any regard for the damage of the trees they were cutting. They cut into the bottom of the tree breaking branches off ... read more

Davey in Wixom damaged my grass as well as my neighbors. They would not remedy the damage and were rude when they finally responded to my concerns. I will never do business with them again.

The Davey’s branch on Lemay in St Louis is the epitome of great customer service. I called last Wednesday to get a quote on pruning a large out of control ash tree. Greg, one of their arborists, stopped by Friday to evaluate and recommend what to do with our tree. He set up a crew for the following day , Saturday. They arrived by 9:00am, made their recommendations and LISTENED to what I had to say as well. The entire experience was a pleasure to do business with Davey. I would highly recommend them for any of your residentia... read more

After spending minimally 1000.00 per year on maintaining our front yard oak tree, ensuring nothing is touching any wires, TECO contracts Davey's to come through the neighborhood hacking all trees with abandon. Unbelievable doesn't begin to describe the mess this group created-broken fence, crushed landscape, cracked pavers, limbs, leaves and sawdust EVERYWHERE! THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS!
