The workers are disrespectful! - I have on several occassions found these men in my yard walking around as if they live here. No knock on the door to let you know they are around. Today, after a month of evacuation - post fire - and many days/weeks of listening to trees being cut down - I find a disabled "chipper" attached to a truck - in front of my kitchen window. It is my day off after many night shifts - looking forward to relaxing and doing some catch up yard work. These guys sat in my driveway for 3+ hours - they could... read more

To begin with, we were thankful they wore masks when doing the initial meet and estimate. We had them remove 4 trees and the debris. The position of 3 of the trees were in our tight backyard and they worked around it with ease. They were professional and efficient and they cleaned up the area well. We would highly recommend them.

I do not recommend Davey Tree. Although I thought there previous work for me was somewhat overpriced, I respected there reputation, responsiveness & honesty. That’s all changed. I paid them thousands of dollars to trim multiple large oak trees, resulting in several problems. They tore up the lawn with their equipment. After a few phone calls, they did finally come back & repair the damage. Some trees were not properly trimmed. The explanation was that “the canopy had leaves on it…when I was on site to provide the estimate”. ... read more

I have had an extremely inappropriate experience with the Davey Resource Group representative who came as a sub contractor to ComEd after a tornado hit my backyard, felling a large tree, which flew up on my garage and is lodged in the electric wires in the alley. Alex "S"--who refused to give his full name came to assess the situation on as a subcontractor for Comed. He was as offensive as I have ever experienced in a professional. He was arrogant, rude and by the way waited about 90 minutes in his car before coming out to t... read more

Davey Tree Company does a nice job with tree removal and they did a nice job with an injection for one of our large oaks, but thats the extent of my positive comments. For three years we have used Davey tree company for our full service needs which include tree feeding, treatment of shrubs, and lawn fertilization. Every year we go through the lawn treatment process with them, only to have a lawn invaded with crabgrass, and now red thread and moss, and we seem to be the only home in our subdivision that has this problem. We p... read more

The DAVEY TREE EXPERT COMPANY located in Plymouth, MN on Fernbrook Lane, recently treated our two large Ash trees for Emerald *** B**** and also did extensive pruning of these two trees and another very large tree on our property. Brandon, Bill and Nathan worked for three hours and did an excellent job of not only cleaning all the dead limbs off the trees but also cleaning them off our yard and driveway and grinding them up. They were very good about not hurting our flower gardens or shubbery. They checked with us to make su... read more

Horrible! They hire racist and vindictive people. Davey Tree Company was hired by the utility company to trim the trees in Cleveland. I came home from work and they had taken apart my backyard fence, without permission, and left it by the side of neighbor's house. They left the hammer used to tear apart my fence on top of my garbage cans. They never left a note saying why they did this or even apologizing for their actions. They never even left door tags informing me or my neighbors that they would be doing work in the neigh... read more

We engaged The Davey Tree Expert Company to trim our trees, treat our bushes and lawn. WHAT A MISTAKE! Our first problem occurred when they literally "butchered" our lilac bush, rather than the simple pruning we requested. In resolution, they planted large plants to hide the bare lower branches. The lawn service was so poor, we had to continually call them to treat the full yard--not just what they could spray over the back yard fence. After 3 YEARS worth of lawn service, it is worse than when they started. The final straw t... read more

What a pleasant surprise! Davey Tree took down six large trees in our backyard today. The trees were well over 40 feet tall, one was arching over our neighbors' garage, one was arching over our house, one was interfering with power lines, and one was pushing up against a fence. The crane arrived on time, the crew was there at the stated time, and they were polite and efficient. They cleaned up the yard of all dropped limbs and branches. They took care with our driveway and warned us ahead of time that part of the yard along ... read more
