What Is Davey Tree and What Services Does It Offer?

Updated

Davey Tree is a North American tree care and grounds maintenance company founded in 1880 and employee-owned since 1979. It provides residential tree services such as trimming, removal, planting, fertilization, and health inspections, alongside commercial grounds care, utility vegetation management, and environmental consulting. It is a fit if you need professional, science-based tree or landscape work for a home, business, or utility; it is not a general handyman or landscaping-only service.

Company Background

Davey Tree describes itself as operating throughout North America, with local branches serving communities "from coast to coast and right down your street." The company states it was founded in 1880 and has been employee-owned since 1979, and that it is Ohio's largest employee-owned company and one of the top ten largest in the nation.

Its stated focus is "scientifically-based horticultural and environmental services" delivered by certified professionals. The site also highlights careers, noting jobs available throughout North America.

Residential Services

  • Tree health inspection and treatment

  • Tree trimming and pruning
  • Tree planting and transplanting
  • Tree and shrub fertilization
  • Storm prep and support systems for trees (such as cabling and bracing)

How to Get Started

  1. Identify your need: residential tree work, commercial grounds care, utility vegetation management, or environmental consulting.
  2. Use the site's "find a local office near you" option to locate the branch serving your area.
  3. Request a free tree consultation for residential work, or contact the relevant division for commercial, utility, or environmental projects.

What to Keep in Mind

  • Services are organized by customer type, so start in the right section to avoid being routed to the wrong team.
  • The site lists a mulch production and delivery offering, but no public pricing is shown; costs are likely quoted per project after a consultation.
  • Availability depends on whether a local branch operates in your area, since Davey delivers services through regional offices rather than a single national team.
