What Residential Tree Care Services Does Davey Tree Provide?

Updated

Davey Tree provides residential tree care across North America, covering tree health inspection and treatment, tree removal, trimming and pruning, planting and transplanting, tree and shrub fertilization, storm prep and support systems, and lawn care. These services are delivered by certified professionals, and the company describes its approach as science-based. If your property has a tree that looks unhealthy, needs shaping, has to come down, or you want a new one planted, this range is designed to cover that work.

Core Residential Tree Services

Davey lists the following as its included residential services:

  • Tree Health Inspection & Treatment — assessment of a tree's condition and any treatment that follows from it.
  • Tree Removal — taking down a tree when it can't be retained.
  • Tree Trimming & Pruning — routine cutting back and shaping.
  • Tree Planting & Transplanting — adding new trees or moving existing ones.
  • Tree & Shrub Fertilization — feeding trees and shrubs to support growth.
  • Storm Prep & Support Systems for Trees — preparing trees ahead of storms and installing supports such as cabling and bracing.
  • Lawn Care Services — lawn maintenance alongside tree work.

The company's own description of its residential offering names tree trimming, tree health inspections, tree removal, tree fertilization, and cabling and bracing as examples of what it handles for homes.

What to Know Before You Book

Davey describes itself as founded in 1880 and employee-owned since 1979, with operations throughout North America. It states that its work is grounded in "scientifically-based horticultural and environmental services." The company also says it offers a free tree consultation, which is the usual first step before any specific service is scheduled.

Two practical points follow from that:

  • A consultation comes first. Because inspection and treatment are listed as a service, the initial visit is typically where a professional assesses the tree and recommends what, if anything, is needed.
  • Services can be combined. Fertilization, pruning, and lawn care are often relevant to the same property, so it's reasonable to raise all of your concerns in one consultation rather than booking each separately.

Finding a Local Office

Davey operates through local branches rather than a single national point of contact. To schedule work, you locate the office nearest you and arrange a consultation through it. The company's site includes a "find a local office near you" function for this purpose, and the consultation is described as free.

If you're unsure which service applies, describing the tree's visible symptoms and your goal — remove, preserve, or plant — is enough for the local team to route you to the right service.

Where Davey Sits Alongside Other Options

Davey's residential scope is broad: it covers the tree itself (health, removal, pruning, planting, fertilization, structural support) and extends to lawn care. That breadth suits homeowners who want one provider for multiple related tasks. If your need is narrow — a single removal, for example — the deciding factors are more likely to be local availability and the quote you receive than the range of services offered.
