They trimmed my trees back that had overgrown. There was a particular area of my yard that was not getting enough sunlight, so they made sure that portion received sunlight. They mulched the trees that they cut so that I could use it at a later date. The work was fabulous. The workers were very professional, polite and courteous. They went above and beyond what was required of them. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future if necessary.

The Davey Tree Expert Co is near to my home area. They came promptly and on time to give the estimate. They looked at the trees and gave me some suggestions on how to deal with the trees. They were prompt also when they came to do the job.

Everything went very well. I was favorably impressed with the company. It turned out that the tree had a normal disease and it did not need to be treated.

HIred The Davey Tree Expert Company on behalf of a home owners association to trim two oak trees so as to open the canopy and raise the lower branches above the roadway. The work also called for removal of dead limbs and new growth as well as ball moss. The work performed was outstanding in all respects. Very professional from start to finish. In order to prevent oak wilt, all tools were disenfected prior to use. The company's arborist was on site for the start of the work and he identified the supervisor of the work crew so I knew who to contact should I need to as the job progressed. Workers were very efficient and completed the job in just a few hours. All of the cuts were sprayed with a sealer to prevent oak wilt. Cleanup also went well, including removal of debris that had fallen in two adjacent yards. Would I hire this company again? You bet. I had obtained three other bids, and the quoted price from The Davey Tree Expert Company was very reasonable, the performance of the work crew was superb and the end result of the work exceeded my expectations. If you are going to have any oak trees trimmed, please make sure you hire a company with a certified arborist. I was very impressed with this company.
Description of Work: Trimmed two oak trees, removed dead limbs/branches and new growth. Removed ball moss.

I was charged nothing. I appreciated that they did not try to sell me a service I didn't need. Very professional and knowledgeable. I will call them next time I need any trees trimmed or any tree service.
Description of Work: Big, old oak tree had a large dead branch removed a year ago by another company and they left a little too much stump. A hole had formed in the small stump left from that branch. I was afraid I would lose the tree. The arborist Davey sent out said such hole formation was common in oak trees and it did not mean I would lose the tree. He said I did not need to do anything and did not recommend plugging the hole.

I spent about $1200 on that work. Before I joined the list I pulled them up on line and used them for tree trimming earlier in the year, so I used them again. They were a good company to work with and we enjoyed tehm in the past.

I would not hesitate to recommend Davey to anyone for any service concerning trees. They are experts at what they do.
Description of Work: At a prior residence, Davey saved an old oak tree which was damaged in a windstorm -- they cabled it back together and braced it to keep it from splitting apart. The tree is still living, 8 years later. Last year when we moved to a new residence, we called Davey Trees to trim about 7-8 large pecan trees in our yard. They did a very professional job, as well as bracing some limbs which overhung the roof and about which they were concerned, and cut up and stacked the pecan wood so we could use it for barbeque wood. They also fertilized all of the trees and shrubs. Over the past year, Tom Sillitoe at Davey would drive by our house to check on the progress of one of our other trees which caused him concern. This year, as we were debating whether to cut the tree down because it was not doing well, he stopped by one day and said he really thought the tree needed to come down due to black fungus. He contacted the city inspector, who agreed that the tree needed to come down immediately. A day after inspector approval, Davey's crew was out here to take the tree down. They ariived on time; they took the entire tree down level to the ground (without damaging the carport over which it hung); and they left no mess.

They completed the job in a few hours in the misty rain. The trees were cut as specified. All brush was raked up and ground up. The only thing that was left was the piled up firewood as specified and sawdust. I was very pleased. In several places the trees hung over the roof of the house. They were careful taking these branches down. I have another project at my son's house with overhanging Ash trees that I certainly will call them for.
Description of Work: Removed 2 dead trees. One 80 year old Magnolia hung over the house and required a "cherry picker". I asked for the trunk to be cut in a certain way so that I could use it as a support for an arbor project. The Pecan tree was cut down to grade and the trunk and larger limbs were cut to be used as firewood.

Work overall was done professionally, however the company entered the neighbor property without first ringing on their doorbell, which (understandably) had our neighbor furious. Assistant Manager came out to work out the situation and eventually resolved it. No complaints about the actual work done on the tree.

My Cedar Elm was dropping twiglets at the wrong time of year (September). The other Cedar Elms were fine. Thomas Siltier diagnosed the problem over the phone (a recent outbreak in San Antonio), recommended spraying the tree and had the scheduling department call to make an appointment within a few days. The appointment was rescheduled to a few days later due to Hurricane Ike in Houston where workers had been sent to assist in recovery. After the reschedule, they came as promised.
Description of Work: One Cedar Elm in my yard was sprayed for an insect called twig pruners.

In all three instances Davey Tree were responsive, they came when they said they would, for estimates and work. Their crews were extremely hard working. At all times they very professional. They were a pleasure to do business with and their work was quality. Will use them anytime I need tree work.
Description of Work: Have used them 3 times. 1.) General tree trimming of trees overhanging a long driveway. 2.) Clear down trees and limbs caused by ice storm and remove dangerous dead-falls in trees near house and drive. 3.) Diagnose diseased tree and remove it. Spray nearby trees to prevent disease spread. And clear riding trails of low hanging branches.

It was a little difficult to get an appointment scheduled. We were passed around to a few different people and it took a while to get someone to call us back. On the day scheduled for service, Davey was several hours late....reportedly due to a delay in their previous stop. At the end of the day, they left what looked like a half-completed job. There was no notification that they would be back. I had to call and verify that they were coming back the next day to finish the job. They did finish things up the next day, and did a very good job. They did, however, break a landscaping light in the process of trimming one of the trees. They deducted the cost of a replacement from our final bill.
Description of Work: We recently had Davey out to trim a few oak trees on our property, apply some deep root tree fertilizer, and remove air plants from the trees.

I used Davey Tree Company to trim a large red oak and remove a diseased cedar elm at my church. I had a personal recommendation for one of their certified arborists, and they quickly gave an estimate, which turned out to be less than other companies.' Everything went smoothly with the work, and I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others.

They arrived on time and, after determining the correct trees to cut back or remove, went to work. They spent all day on the job and cleaned up after they had finished. They painted the cut surfaces of the oak limbs and removed all the brush and limbs they had cut including the ones I had cut earlier in the year.
Description of Work: Trimmed back brush and trees surrounding my house. Removed three big cedar trees and trimmed several oak trees on my one acre lot. Removed several old brush piles.

Last year, Davey Tree & Shrub Care came and trimmed all of our oak trees, which had been through construction and drought stress during the building of our home and pool. They fertilized all of our trees and shrubs. This year we asked them to return to fertilize the trees and shrubs again. All of the rain we had last season certainly helped, but our main concern was our oak trees and they are looking much healthier this year.
Description of Work: Davey Tree & Shrub Care came and trimmed all of our oak trees and fertilized all of our trees and shrubs. The approximate cost is what we have spent over the last two years.

They were quick to come out and give an estimate, but it took a couple of weeks to set an appointment for over two months later.(Checking with other tree companies, the wait was the same). The day they came they didn't finish the work because they couldn't get to some of the trees. We arranged for access with our neighbors and rescheduled for a month later "after 11:00am." They never came that day even though the receptionist repeatedly assured us they would. We expected a phone call to reschedule, but instead we received the bill. We paid for 2/3rds of the bill and sent a letter with explaining that not all the work was done. Because this is not a local company, the communication between billing and the local office is sketchy. We received a call from their collections dept asking about the balance. At first she said she had seen the letter, but then admitted she had not. After another call from the local office, we got a crew and the job finished. The trees are well-shaped.
Description of Work: Trimmed several pecan trees, a palm tree, and various other trees and shrubbery.

Excellent job! Very professional, on time and courteous. Got the job done in the scheduled time and cleaned up perfectly. Best of all, I was not required to be there for every minute, so I lost minimal time from work. I was very happy with Davey and would absolutely use them again. I did have to schedule about 6 weeks in advance, so I would be aware of that time lag the next time.
