The Davey Tree Expert Company

Things went very well. Chris sent a very experienced crew. They worked continuously with a short lunch break. The job took 1 1/2 days to complete. I was a little nervous when the crew first arrived and Chris had not yet come to oversee the job. The workmen were asking me questions and I suggested they wait for Chris' instructions. He did show up a short time after the men then, he left.  I was expecting to have seen Chris return to our house to review  the end of the first day's  work when most of the work had been finished. He did not come. 
There was a period of time between the day the job began, Nov. 13th and the second day to finish Nov. 26th where I had not known what the plans were. It turned out to be fine. The job finished to my satisfaction.
The workmen were courteous, polite and knowledgeable. 
In addition, without my asking, Chris had one of the men trim a Japanese Maple tree we have as well.
I value Chris' opinion as a certified arborist. 

Great

Davey Tree came up on list when I optioned "quick Quote". Called number, rep said I would have to wait 5 days for "Quick Quote".
Are you kidding me?  I said cannot wait and hung up. Please do not advertise a quick quote when one is not available. I will find another tree service, thank you.

They were good. I had no problems. They did what they needed to do. My trees ended up being fine. This was a few years ago.  They came and repaired my tree. The prices were reasonable and fair.

It all goes smooth. You don't have to be home for this service.

I have no complains with The Davey Tree Co - West Babylon. They did a great job. I got my money worth it. They did what they said they were going to do. They didn’t mess the yard or messed up anything. They are professional.

Work done professionally and as promised.  From the day of Estimate to the day they came to grind the stumps, everything went perfect.  Cleaned up afterwards.  Pleasant and professional all the way.  I will use this company again for future landscaping needs and will even tell others about them.  A+++++++++    for this company. 

I got the estimated from several other landscaping companies. They seem to be little expensive than all others.

Very Disappointing and stressful! Made an appointment for an estimate to trim 3 oak trees, and asked where I was referred from, told them Angie's List after reading the reviews here. Thought it might make them especially attentive to my service, since it would be likely I'd be leaving a review, but that wasn't the case. 
     Arborist who inspected the job was very thorough in answering my many questions and attentive to my strong concern of not over trimming. I especially stressed not to trim the low hanging branches that I like.  Considering that, I asked how access to the highest parts of the trees would be possible, since the low branches over my driveway entrance looked too low to allow a truck to the trees farther back on the property, but I wanted the arborist to say that, which he did, saying the branches were too low and they could not be simply pushed aside for the truck, they're too thick. So climbing the tree was discussed, we ultimately agreed the low hanging branches over the driveway didn't allow for a truck to enter the property.  I asked how a climber would know what branches to cut from their perspective inside the tree and was told a second person would guide the trimmer to the necessary branches. It would take more time to do the job by climbing instead of truck but they'd do by climbing I was told. 
     Decided to go ahead with the job based on the thoroughness of the answers to my concerns.  Several days later made an appointment, which I believe I later changed from afternoon to morning, but no show that morning, was told it was for the afternoon, maybe my mistake, but could have been a non-issue by a 1 day confirmation by Davey.  I suggest they consider doing that as my electrician does.
     When I returned home from work I was immediately concerned upong seeing the lower branches at driveway entrance were all oddly bent down to the height of the top of my car and mis shapen, but relieved the lower branches were not cut as we agreed. However upon much closer inspection and confirmation by my wife it was clear a bucket truck had been driven onto the property and damaged the lower branches, stripping the bark off some, cracking others,  necessitating their removal - so much for the low hanging branches on the first tree.  One of the other oaks wasn't dead wooded, the walnut not completely deadwooded (among which the obviosly broken branch hanging down the arborist and I noted upon on initial meeting wasn't removed). 
     So not too happy had to call to rectify, but how to fix something that can't be put back?  Was told the low hanging branches could be tied to not hang so low. They returned, but simply cut the lowest hanging branches damaged by the bucket truck and did a bit more deadwooding of the one oak missed but not completely all the way up the tree - and the walnut revisited too (though there is still deadwood left at the top of the tree).  Thought they'd offer me a discount for the trouble, but no.  Now super storm Sandy blows through with no damage, but how do they not just say Sandy did what they damaged?  Too much b.s. already to take any more time on this anyway.  One good part of job was overall tree shaping was done as discussed.  
     Failure on Davey's part was either our agreement wasn't communicated by the arborist to the job foreman or the forman just blew off what he was instructed to do. Morale of the story is: Don't let anyone work on your property without your direct supervision or it doesn't get done right or the way you want!

unknown

We knew we needed tree work, checked several and Davey's was prompt and professional with reasonably good pricing.  They showed up when theysaid they would (taking into consideration weather since they had to spray).  They called us sufficiently in advance to schedule the work and showed up on time and did a great job.

They were great. We had a big, old tree that we thought was going to fall on the house. They didn't leave a mess and they cleaned up. I would recommend them. Their prices are good because we shopped around. They didn't damage anything. They did exactly what we wanted. 

I have been totally satisfied with them.

Very good

Davey Tree was very prompt once we set date for removal.  They completed all the work in a very professional manner and cleaned up all limbs and mess in the back yard. 

They are a great, responsive company! They show up on time, and always call first. My trees and bushes are healthy, and I’m happy with their service. Also, their employees have great attitudes.

They did a very good job. The always do. I have used for several years. They communicate. I know when they are coming. Their people let me know they are on the property and why they are there. They identify themselves clearly. If something goes wrong I call them and they fix it.

It turned out great They took care of a problem.

Excellent

I had a very good experience. They were very good and fast. They were punctual and did the job well. They offered some suggestions with some other trees that were mostly dead and should come out. I appreciated his input. They are very well priced.

Everything went very well.

I hired this company to remove four trees from my property because I am making an addition to my house. They did a great job. They not only removed the trees, but they cleaned everything up, and the price was not that bad. It may seem kind of expensive, but once you compare it with other companies, they are really not that expensive.

THEY ARE VERY RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY. THE WORKERS ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL. THEY ARE ON TIME AND CLEANED UP AFTER THE JOB VERY WELL. THEY ARE ALSO COURTEOUS.

I BELIEVE THIS COMPANY DID A FABULOUS JOB AND I HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH BUGS DESTROYING MY TREES. THIS COMPANY STAFF WAS REPONSIVE TO MY NEEDS AND THEY ADVISED ME HOW TO PREVENT THE BUGS FROM RETURNING.
