I do not recommend! Interviewed four companies to cut down about 13 large trees and decided to go with Dave's, who told me they wouldn't be able to cut them down for another couple of months. That was ok with me. Their price was competitive and John was sooo nice. They cut one tree down immediately. Several calls and many months later, they cut down about 3 or 4 more. About 8 months later, they cut down a few more. Each time they cut down a tree, I paid them immediately. In spring, a year from our initial meeting, when everything was growing and blooming in the garden, John said they could finally cut down the remainder of the trees. I hired someone else.

I have chosen Dave's Tree for my tree maintenance and I will always go back to them when I need tree service. Their equipment is 1st Class and John has many years of experience. You will get top quality work done with efficiency and safety. I have some big trees around the house, large branches were removed without ever hitting the roof or sides, and they rake the work areas and even get on the roof with a leaf blower to leave everything clean. Highly recommended!

Description of Work: Trimmed all 7 of my very tall and big trees. In the past, they have cabled several of the bigger branches. Took away debris. I have used this company for many years. Very reliable and stand behind their work.. Because of a big storm in the spring of 2014 delaying the services, I told them to come when they were able to do so.

They were very careful about the work they did preventing any damage to surrounding areas. They worked with us on what we wanted done, cleaned up after themselves and were very pleasant to work with. A+!

We called several area tree services. Dave's was most responsive and price competitive. It was a relatively small job and many competitors showed little interest. We never got that impression from Dave's. They fit us in their busy schedule and the tree was taken away within 10 days of our call. Very professional. All services performed as promised. Price competitive. We definitely would recommend their service and we will use them again.

Excellent. Called Dave's Tree Service - John responded within the hour. I explained that a pine tree had fallen during the big wind storm that hit the St. Joe area and asked if his company could provide a quote/estimate. They did and it was reasonable. Since it was not an emergency, we scheduled the tree removal when the trucks and equiptment were in the area. They came out, took the tree, chipped it and dug out the stump, making the area ready for a replacement pine tree. Left the yard clean and raked and ready for new tree. John and the crew were friendly, punctual and very professional. I will definitely use them again for a bigger job I have at our cottage a few miles away where we need to do some preventive tree removal.
Description of Work: After a large wind storm in the area, we had a large pine tree come down in our neighbors yard. They removed the pine tree and left the area clean, stump removed and ready for new tree. Dave's Tree service was very responsive to small jobs even though they were very busy with larger tree removal jobs after a huge wind storm that knocked out a lot of trees in the area. We would definitely use them again at our cottage where there are many large old pine trees that need to come down for safety. Dave's Tree's are friendly, punctual and reasonably priced. Left the yard clean, raked and ready for a new tree. Great service.

See story above
Description of Work: Asked them to make a very, very large Silver Maple tree safe/sturdy. They quoted me $1800 to trim, add cabling and address trunk rot. They quoted me $8000 to have the tree removed. I paid the $1800 - it took them months to come perform the service, they trimmed some branches effectively, they added only one cable with poor technique and they actually worsened the rot condition by adding concrete. I recently had the tree removed for less than $3000. They accelerated the rot! Also had them give me a price for taking out another tree recently - they quoted me $1700 and I had it removed for $1200.

The crew did an outstanding job. The job was estimated to take 12 hours and that is about what it took. The crew ended up doing more work than originally estimated due to the contition of some of the trees. The thing that impressed me the most is how careful the crew was to protect my property from damage. All large brances were dropped using ropes and there were lots of these large critters. Many of these brances were over my house, barn and chain link fence and were removed with no damage to any of these items. The clean up was also very good. The crew was courtious and conducted the work in a professional manner. There was very little down time by any crew member, in otherwords they worked their butskas to the bone. I was really impressed. The job came in on the dollar amound stated on the estimate. The only negative that I have is that the bucket truck had a hydraulic leak that got on my driveway. The crew new about the leak and did what they could to protect the drive. I will definately use this service again when needed.
Description of Work: Four trees removed and stumps ground, 8 trees trimmed and or cut back. These were all very large mature trees requiring the use of a bucket truck and a climber to reach all branches and limbs that needed to be removed. The work required four workers, stump grinder, bucket truck, huge branch grinder and truck, and all the attending equipment. The job took in excess of 14 hours to complete.

Many people in our area had severe storm damage from the same storm, so Dave's Tree Expert was very busy. Nevertheless I found it a little frustrating trying to get a definite schedule. The owner explained later that he had a triage system (tree damage to buildings came first--I was on the second tier because some of my damage affected a neighbor, as well) and that some emergencies had been moved in ahead of me. When they came to do the job, I showed them some extra things (neighbor's tree branches damaged by my tree, brush pile now larger) which they said they would take care of at no extra charge. The workers were friendly and did their work with skill and professionalism. They took care not to damage shrubbery under a tree they were working on. They identified a tree close to the house that was dangerously rotted out and removed it (see above). They cleaned up their work nicely, including some extra fallen brush that was not storm damage nor in the brush pile. The job was done expeditiously. I was pleased with the job they did and the way they did it.
Description of Work: They cleaned up large limbs blown down in a storm, removed a large brush pile, and removed live branches overhanging a second-story roof. While trimming the branches, they identified a tree next to the house that was rotted out in the center. for a nominal fee, they removed that whole tree, as well. When i saw the inside of the tree, I felt that they had prevented damage to my house in a future windstorm.
