Got a quote. Accepted it. Never heard back. Got the feeling they quoted high ($800) because they didn't want the business.

I've been using them for several years now. They're very, very good, they're also very expensive. They should be able to do what they do for less money.

These guys are professional, so I needed the tree removed. It wasn't a little tree it was a big tree, and when I came home the tree was gone. There was nothing left. They cleaned up after there selves, like nothing was there. The stump was gone, it was ground up in saw dust. IT was serious business, those guys don't mess around. They knocked that thing out. They were pretty solid all the way through. I think there are cheaper people out there, but these guys are serious. They were on time.

They did very well. It's been healthy ever since. It was expensive. Their assessment had excellent result. The huge tree came back and it's actually healthy. If we have the money I would use them again.
Description of Work: They assessed what was wrong with our huge tree, gave it the right treatment which was merit an d some fertilizer, I think. I think they trimmed some but I can't remember.

It's excellent and that's why I keep using them. I had the fertilization set up as a plan. They come several times. For coming several times, the price was probably slightly higher than the competition. Since they do such a good job and they're reliable, I'd like to deal with them. The quality of work is always excellent. They come right away when I call. They're very professional. They do exactly what we ask them to do. They answer questions professionally. They clean up after they're done. They don't damage around the yard. Their performance is great.
Description of Work: I used them a year ago to fertilize the trees.

They were willing to do the job at a fair price. They're very competent. They're on time. They came as promised. They're very professional. If you have a tough job, they're the right people to do it. There could be more people out but otherwise they were perfect.

They did fine. He was instrumental in helping us protect the existing tree. They didn't have all the tools necessary to pull all that needed to go. I have used them periodically over the last few years.
Description of Work: A tree needed to be pulled up in the yard and another tree needed to be protected while construction was being done. He gave advice on both instances. They did the services and pulled the tree out.

It was fine they did a good job. They were there when we agreed and they took care of everything in the estimated amount of time. They were careful with our other landscaping, they discussed with us the best approaches to effective management of the trees and they cleaned up very well.
Description of Work: I use The Davey Tree Expert Co of Menlo Park for tree services. They did a lot of topping and shaping of trees. We have a number of fig trees so they needed pruning to keep them producing effectively.

I have been using them for years. I have been delighted with them. Davey was a name I was familiar with when I lived in Ohio, which is why I called them when I moved out to California. I was always delighted with them when I was in Ohio. They even checked the other trees on my property without me having to ask. I was impressed with that.
Description of Work: They came out for annual deep root fertilization, and pruning for the three major trees on my property.

The job was a large one and went for two solid days. They said two days and finished in two. The work was excellent and the trees and house look great and survived. I could easily recommend Davey for your tree work. They are very professional and do quality work.
Description of Work: Arborist came out and bid the job. He made an appoitment for the work and came out and supervised the start and middle of the work. They trimmed multiple oaks, bay and willows in my yard and cut all the limbs off the house.

The service took two days worth of time with a bucket truck brought in for the large, tall trees in back. The job was done right and all the debris cleared both days at the end of the work.

It was fine. The estimate sounded a little high but I have had nothing to compare and the job was pretty big. It was pretty much in the ball park. It was easy to call him and get an estimate.

That work turned out OK. Generally they do a good job. I think they are overpriced for what they do. I also found out later that the trees were over thinned a little bit.

They have a pretty good reputation in our community. They are local. They came to be very professional. One of the issues that we've experienced with a lot of companies is that the person that comes out, we talk to and tell them all the details that we want, those people never show up when the actual workers are here. We had to go out and tell that our estimate is supposed to include these things and get them to do everything that we had told the initial person. A lot of people do that, but it's ? kind of pain.

They arrive in their tank truck and use a large hose and application wand to insert fertilizer deeply into the ground for my trees and shrubs.
Description of Work: This service date was for their yearly Arbor Green Fertilizer deep application for my trees. They do prune my trees from time to time and have pulled out roots and stumps previously. I have always appreciated their professionalism and billing practices.

A well-informed arborist came and evaluated my trees. We discussed what I wanted and agreed what to do. He quoted a price and I accepted on the spot. Later that day, their office called to set up a day when the work would be done a week later. The workmen came when promised and did one tree. They didn't do the second because my dogs were loose in the yard. The next day they returned, I penned up the dogs and they did the second tree. Both trees were done as promised, and they look great.
Description of Work: Pruned two mature trees.

Davey was able to give an estimate, and schedule the work, quickly. The estimator was easy to communicate with. The crew did the work as was outlined in the original specifications. Pricing among professional tree trimmers was similar, but Davey was price competitive at the lower end of the quotes which ranged as follows: $485-$575 to aggressively trim one 40 foot crown diameter Mulberry, and $325-$360 to trim three 2-story tall bottle-brush/melaleuca. A tall (3-story tall) double birch was generally quoted around $285. The work was completed in a professional manner. I got the bill in the mail about 2 weeks later, payable by Visa/MC, Amex, Discover, or check.
Description of Work: Trim 5 moderately large trees.
