I have been using them for years. They even came and gave me free advice regarding tree care. They provide service in timely manner. They leave a sign in the yard when the treatment is complete with the date and time which really helps my lawn people.
Description of Work: They provide regular lawn fertilization and treatment. I choose what type of treatment. They provide grub and weed control. They also trim my trees regularly.

Great price for a job well done. They did cut through our neighbors cable line during the stump grinding, but the line should never have been routed so close to the base of the tree. While there, gave good advice on how to keep another tree of the same species from suffering a similar fate.
Description of Work: Davey Tree removed a dying tree close to the front of our house, ground out the stump and pruned another tree in our yard.

Fine. I have used this company at least 5 times before. They do such a good job that I only have to use them every three years or so, so it's worth the extra money to me. They always clean up all of the debris and put it in their mulching machine. They got poured upon twice, but were able to finish the job. The good part was that this time, the actual bill came in less than the estimate!
Description of Work: trimmed 4 big maple trees away from the house and gutters. Thinned out the giant pussywillow away from house and electrical wires. Reduced and evened out privet hedge in the front yard.

The contractor came out when he said he would to give us the estimate. I wasn't too familiar with prices on this type of work, but after some investigating, we decided that the price was fair enough to sign the contract. We wanted to get this work done soon because it was already early October. After sending the signed contract in, I did have to contact the company to find out when we were scheduled for the work. Due to the weather, they did have to reschedule a couple of times, but that was OK. The next time the weather broke, they told us that they would be out the next day. The following day, the work was completed without us having to be at home. They did a great job with the trimming and the clean up was perfect! I was rather surprised at how well they did clean up given the fact that arborvitae trimming can be very messy. The bill came the following week at the exact price that we were quoted. We couldn't be happier with the end result.
Description of Work: Trimmed several arborvitae, crab apple tree, and a large old fashion lilac bush.

There was a massive windstorm so since our tree was merely scraping the side of our house and not on top of the house or blocking the driveway we called after a couple of days and told Davey to get to us when they could. They made it out by the end of the week to get the tree gone, which was amazing considering the number of trees down everywhere. The men who came out to work on the tree were very nice and tolerant of my adoring preschooler who watched out the window the whole time. They came back after the calls about the storm had settled down and took out the other tree. They came a third time to grind the stumps and plant the new trees which were beautiful.
Description of Work: We had a major, major tree fall from high winds. Davey removed the tree and another tree that was a danger and ground the stumps and planted two new trees. Let me add that we had had Davey service this tree earlier. We begged them to do what they could to save it even though they told us it would likely need to come down before too many years had passed. They fertilized and trimmed it - and they did it perfectly because that tree came as close as possible to our house without taking out the roof. (We had asked them to spare as much canopy as was safe.) That tree came straight towards our house and yet the house itself was spared. I really attribute that to skillful trimming.

It's a long story, but overall, it was a very disappointing experience and I didn't feel I got my money's worth. They didn't meet expectations. They didn't do some of the work as described and planned, some of their work was sloppy and had to be redone. Later on there was a billing issue that was eventually resolved. But overall, it was a very inconvenient and regrettable experience.
Description of Work: I hired them to remove some juniper bushes and grind out stumps, replant new shrubs, prune other shrubs, remove old mulch and apply fresh mulch, edge and cultivate other mulch beds.

They hauled all the debris away. They were prompt and very professional. They did everything they said they would do, when they said they would do it. I have no complaints at all. Their price was right in line with other estimates I got. I would recommend them to others.

I got 4 bids ranging from 3,000 to 1,600. We selected Davey because, although not the lowest bid, we trusted them. Davey is registered with Shaker Heights, which gave us some assurance about insurance and so on. This was important because the tree hung over a slate roof, and was right next to the house, walk, and irrigation system - lots of places for expensive repairs if anything went wrong. We were out of town when they removed the tree but neighbors watched it and were impressed. The person who ground the stump was courteous and took measures to protect the house from the debris.
Description of Work: Davey removed a gigantic (4-feet diameter at base) dead oak that was close to the house and hung over the roof. They also ground the stump.

In the beginning all went well. Arrived quickly to give quote and had a crew at my house within a week. I was pleased with the work performed. I received the bill on the 2nd of June and faxed in the credit card information on June 9th. After about a week I got a reminder to pay the bill. I called the corporate number and they called the local office and after some searching they found the misplaced fax. Davey then billed my credit card on June 21st.. Today, June 24th, I got a call from the collection agency they hired to collect the bill I already paid. I would be wary of any company that turns over a bill to a collection agency before they even attempt one call to the customer.

The crew was very professional and performed the work quickly. Did a nice job of cleaning up. It was not explained that the stumps would not be ground out until later. As it turned out it was over a week before they returned to grind out the stumps.

They returned calls promptly and were friendly. The crew had to be flexible working around summer weather and access being blocked by trucks working on a neighbor's house. Communication with me as to when they would come back, etc., could have been better, but they got the work done neatly. I would definitely call them again, especially because I felt like the man who came out to look at my trees really knew what he was doing as far as treating the trees to get them to live as long a healthy tree life as possible.
Description of Work: Three large trees and one small tree had branches removed, in some cases quite a lot. Two old, large trees were given fertilization treatment.
