Davey Tree, founded by John Davey and headquarted in Kent, Ohio, with offices coast to coast and in Canada, has been the undisputed leader in tree and grounds care for well over a hundred years. Appalled by the state of trees in the United States, Mr. Davey first conceived the idea of tree surgery in the early 1880s. In 1901, he published The Tree Doctor in which he explained his methodology of tree preservation. The Davey Tree Expert Company was officially incorporated in 1909 and nurtured by Mr. Davey's descendants until the late 1970s. In 1979, ownership of the company was transferred from the Davey family to Company employees, giving birth to the tag-line, "When you're working with Davey, you're working with the owner." We visited recently with District Manager David J. Joy and Sales Representative Todd Heim, and listened as they outlined the wide range of Davey Tree's services;

Our staff is comprised of highly trained, experienced field technicians who receive special training that make them stand apart. Selected employees attend classes at our corporate headquarters in Kent, Ohio to stay up-to-date on the current trends in our industry. Each field technician is backed by a team of highly respected scientists, each an authority on a specific aspect of plant care. Together, they provide each Davey customer access to the finest diagnostic and treatment capabilities available.

At Davey Tree, our goal is to preserve trees through proper care and pruning rather than removing trees. Wintertime is the perfect time for pruning as it's easier to view the overall structure of the tree and identify the dead wood without the leaves obscuring our line of sight. As trees vary by species and location, so does their pruning, Davey experts prune to National Arborist Association standards, varying the degree of pruning with each tree.

Davey's Groundskeeper Care is an extraordinarily comprehensive service of total landscape management. This turf-to-treetop care handles virtually every landscape need imaginable, from planting to pruning and mulching. As a Groundskeeper customer, you'll receive a detailed analysis of your property. We'll follow up with diagnostic check-ups, prescription pest management, proper nutrition, and programs to strengthen the natural resistance of your lawn, trees, and shrubs.

With Davey's lawncare service, we fertilize, spray for weeds, and handle insect and disease control. We test your soil, balance your lawn's PH level, mulch around trees, shrubs, and flowers, aerate your soil, and renovate and seed your lawn. We'll even do a white-glove cleanup of your property in the spring or fall.

We're America's original tree and ground care company. That means we've had plenty of time to develop the nation's most comprehensive family of services. Throughout our owner-operated organization, Davey Tree has been built of the dedication and knowledge that ensures beautiful results and satisfied customers.
