We are not pleased with this company at all. Would give them a zero rating if possible. We got a quote, scheduled a date, took off work, cancelled appointments to be home, waited 3 weeks only to have them come out and say they could not do the work. Apparently they could not climb the tree due to rot and did not have the equipment to reach the tree with the bucket truck. This was all discussed with the "salesman", Alex and he did not think any of this would be a problem. Apparently there is a disconnect between the people gi... read more

This morning, my husband noticed someone was in our yard. He went outside to investigate and there were two people in the back yard, one had climbed up one of our massive trees, and they were cutting branches. My husband came back in kind of confused but calm (he's basically always calm) but I was livid and went out and asked them what the hell they were doing in our yard. Now the other detail is that we were out of town until yesterday and our brand new car was parked in our yard. It baaarrreelly fits there, within an inch ... read more

St Louis Davey Tree removed a large half dead Shingle Oak from our back yard. The 3 men were professional, efficient and did a great job. They used a crane, which was parked in the yard and afterward, there was very little damage to the yard. I would recommend these people. VA

I engaged Davy Tree Westerville to do a simple job ... trim up a birch tree in a front yard by removing half a dozen or so lower branches, no significant trimming on the mid or upper section. Davy Tree man came out and we went over the tree discussing what was needed. He recommended adding jet injection of fertilizer of a particular fertilizer. I was surprised at the ~ $600 total for this small job but I didn't have interest or time to quibble. The discussion took much longer than expected and I needed to run to another appo... read more

We contacted Davey tree company here in Indianapolis, IN to inquire about the particulars of cutting down our tree in the front yard. The understanding was that they would be coming out sometime in the winter. However, when we got home from work on Aug 7, 2019 to our surprise the tree had been cutdown. We notified the company wanting to know what happened. He was reminded that the work order was originally scheduled for some time during the winter. There was no definite winter date given at the time. The assumption was that ... read more

Came out to inspect my trees. Reported that they were in good shape except one had a split on major branch due to lawn mower rubbing spot. My riding doesn't go that bigh. I found holes in leaves and bugs on trees. Had to spray trees for insects.

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
