Davey Tree Expert Co

Actually this is my second time requesting an estimate from Davey. We just couldn’t make a decision to remove our favorite peach tree after 1^st estimate. Anyway, Matt came to look at our tree. He was such an energetic and warming person, not like other tree company just telling you this tree must go, he gave us many choices and tried to analyze every potential risk. He was so patient explaining every detail and gave some useful advice even not related to that tree. He is the person I would definitely need advice from.

Never returned my call for an estimate.
I would rather use a family owned business like Mathers Tree service who were great!
Davey trees just got too big for their britches!

They finally came out to view regrowth of LiquidAmber trees ground out. Opinion was, wait a year or so dor them to die. I hope he is right!

They did an adequate job, cleaned up and had to return when I noticed they had not done all of what was asked. They did so, but slowly and I actually had to loan them my Sawzall since their chain saw would not work. After they ground the stumps, the regrowth started to come back. They came and treated it to kill it all, killed some of the new plants around the site and not tregrowth, and charged me another $ 150. When I called, several times about the regrowth, no answer ever was made. No messages left, NOTHING!!! I finally contacted the national office, and had to leave a message (doesn’t anyone alive work any more?). Still have not received a call. Not a happy camper!!!

Please don’t use this company, worst customer service ever.
I booked an appt with this company, Jesse running was assigned for the appt.
I took a day off work and when they were 45minutes late I called the company. Jesse is off on vacation and the appointment wasn’t given to anyone else to cover. They weren’t able to send anyone else out… worst customer service ever, book an appt, don’t show and don’t have anyone else available.
What a waste of my time, use a different company…

With Gil Mitchell’s guidance, the three employees, Eduardo, Homero, and Fermin just worked on our 50 year old Atlas Cedar, reducing and thinning this massive tree. What an excellent, knowledgeable, professional job was just done! And the cleanup was very thorough. This is the best this tree has looked in years, being worked on by this team of men. Thank you, Davey Tree for this work today.

Davey tree Arborist told us our aged tree was dying about 7 years (2007) ago but the tree removal permit application was denied by the city. The tree is alive and well up to now (2015). He is still telling my neighbor that the tree is dying. I have another 4 tree companies came over to look at the tree 2 month ago. All 4 tree companies said the tree is healthy, no disease. It is an aged but healthy tree.
Make sure you have 2^nd opinion about what they told you.

Davey Tree dropped a cut-​off trunk onto a near by shack and heavily damaged its roof during a pine removal operation. They sent me an adjuster, who gave me an estimate of the repair. The adjuster referred a construction company, who gave me their estimate which was $ 2000 higher than the adjuster’s estimate. I e-​mailed the situation to Davey Tree, who promised me to resolve the issue two weeks ago. I still haven’t got any update. It has been two months today since the accident.
I do not recommend Davey Tree for any work. They are so irresponsible.

Sooo wrong of a place.
Poor english skills resulted in the tree I wanted removed and a few bushes that I didn’t want removed.
Management was unapologetic and offered no compensation other than sorry and hope you give us another chance.
No, we won’t.
Period.

Had Davey clean up a maple, a pear and a sycamore. They offered a thorough consultation, provided a clear and simple estimate, went out of their way to meet our scheduling needs and were friendly, professional and efficient on the job.

Recently, we had a few stormy days here in Los Altos, and the trees on our yard got hit pretty hard by the rain and wind. A few of the branches had snapped and we didn’t want anything falling on our house or on our neighbor’s home.
Roy and his crew at Davey were working in the area, so I asked him to take a look at our situation. They came out as soon as their schedule permitted, and brought extra guys (and 3 trucks!) to get the 2 day job done in just 1 day. Everyone worked hard and tirelessly, and was extremely professional. They went through and pruned a few huge deodara trees and a large oak tree. It was amazing how much more light we have in our front yard now!
After the job was complete, they cleaned up all the trimmings and swept our driveway; it looks better than when they got here!
Davey’s price was a little bit higher than some of the other quotes we got. However, the professionalism and expertise offered by Davey was well worth the extra cost.
Thanks again for the great work, Roy and your crew at Davey!

Had Travis from Davey tree come down and take care of my tree problems last month. They did an amazing job removing a 70 foot fir from my yard and leaving no evidence that the tree was ever there. They also trimmed up my pepper tree and cleaned up my magnolias. Very good price as the other bids I got for the job were much higher. came and went. Showed up on time. No problems. Did everything by email. The place looks amazing now.

Based on reading others’ reviews, it seems Davey is perfect if you need a tree removed. If the need arises, I’d consider them as an option, but not for pruning.

I hired Davey Tree to cut down two trees at my business. The first tree was getting choked by ivy and in danger of falling over. The second tree was just plain dead. The Davey rep came to give me a free quick estimate. The price was reasonable and well below other companies.
On the day of the tree removal, the crew worked efficiently and thorough making sure to clean up every last bit of debris.
Reasonable prices and great service. Highly recommendable for tree removal.

I have hired Davey to trim and treat trees since 2004. In that time I have been extremely satisfied with their work and their followup.
Most recently I had them treat a myoporum for thirps insect problems in Los Altos. The job was scheduled promptly, and the technician followed up personally when done. That is how it is with them.
When I call Davey, i know I am calling on a company with huge resources and backing. This security makes me feel comfortable because if something were to go wrong on a job, I know they can get it fixed. I can’t be so sure of «a guy in a truck» having enough insurance to make me feel so comfortable.

we had a diseased elm tree in front of our house. since san jose doesn’t have any money the homeowner has to pay for removal. we called Davey tree and they did a great job! they were on time to cut the tree down. cleaned up completely. the stump grinder guy came the next day on time! ground stump and planted a new ginko tree. completely satisfied!

When I bought my house it had a beautiful 40+ year old Redwood Ash tree in the back. Sadly the prior owners overwatered it, and in an attempt to make the backyard more appealing to buyers, they laid a concrete patio. Whoever laid the patio cut the roots of the tree on one side. Needless to say, the tree was dying and in danger of falling.
I spoke to 3 seperate tree service companies. The first one were liars. The business card they dropped on my door step had «Licensed and Bonded» on it. Not only were these guys not licensed nor bonded, they had no idea what was wrong with the tree and said they would go to Home Depot to ask!!! morons.
The second company was reputable, but I did not like the attitude of the guy that came out. He took ZERO time to explain and make me feel comfortable. It was just a «here’s my quote and I want to get out of here» rush…
Anyhow, Travis from Davey Tree was very professional and took the time to explain what the issues were and what my options were. unfortunatley cutting the tree down was my only option.
His guys came out on the scheduled day and cut the tree completely down and removed the stump. Fast work. There was one small issue, but Travis stepped up, took responsibility and I was happy.
I would happily recommend Davey Tree and will use them again should the need arise.

Need an arborist? Got trees that need trimming? How about a huge sycamore caught up in the power lines that cause the lights to blink on/​off in heavy winds? A 4-​story monterey pine leaning into the side of your garage that is causing your garage door to not open? Or a neighbor’s Ash tree that has done $ 3k worth of damage to your driveway?
Needless to say we needed professional tree help!
After going thru the whole crazy 2 month San Jose Tree Permit removal process we shopped for several quotes. Davey Tree was a three hundred more than the others, but having Travis their arborist on staff come out and do the initial write up, knowing their crew is electric line certified and knowing they are insured for $ 2 million in any damages they cause gave me the confidence to go with them over the other folks.
Found Davey Tree on Angie’s List a few years back and we’ve used them ever since! Noticed they didn’t have a Unilocal listing so I thought I’d vouch for them!
