Davey Tree Expert Co

Insult: nearly a foot of snow in November, and before Thanksgiving and everything.
Injury: a giant tree limb full of leaves and snow falling onto my husband’s innocent little car as it sat in the driveway.
Yeah, and it damaged it and also made our driveway and walkway impassable. Tree limb needed to goooo.
So I called a few places and honestly was going to go with whichever could get it taken care of quickest. As it turns out, that was Davey, and from placing the call to having the jerk tree limb gone was just over 24 hours. I don’t know if that’s typical, but it might be — the person I spoke to on the phone mentioned they’d had 60-​something calls after the storm. So it seems they really manage their crews and jobs efficiently. That, or she heard the desperation in my voice and moved us up the queue (probably not — I wasn’t even that dramatic).
First an arborist came out to see what needed to be done. Evan called ahead and then was on time, and the consult took about five minutes. Then the crew came within about two hours and the work was done as quickly as possible. Then this: they cleaned up our walkway. They broke up ice and shoveled snow off so it was clear. We hadn’t done this already only because the limb had rendered the path unusable — we’re not total deadbeats. But yeah, that’s going the extra mile.
The cost was $ 285, which hurt but was worth it to have a usable driveway and walkway, and to get the limb out of sight and the broken area on the tree trimmed. The alternative would be what, buying a woodchipper and chainsaw and doing it ourselves and then reenacting the end of Fargo just to get our money’s worth? That’s silly. So, bottom line, not happy to be in the position to have a tree removed but really pleased with the ease and efficiency of working with Davey.

Davey Tree service recently trimmed several of our trees and also took down some others that were diseased. They cleaned up the debris very well and did not damage anything. However, the trimming was not optimal. One tree was left lopsided. Other areas were not fully addressed.

Got an estimate from them the guy said email him if I wanted the work done. I did three times haven’t heard from them, it’s been two months.
