Waited numerous times for this company with a supposed 5 star rating. This is so unprofessional as we explained we had a time-line. Three different occasions we had to call and each time they said tomorrow, well tomorrow never came. If you value your time, call someone else. read more

Disappointed on follow up to a complaint. Has dodged conversation/resolution about damage that occurred on my neighbor's property while taking out a tree on ours. Now going on 2 years. Used to be a premier service. Amy B. read more

Ah....lovely, leafy Oak Park. Not that many Oak trees here actually, but plenty of other kinds. In exchange for their shade and lovely foliage, they do require some care and maintenance. Parkway trees are maintained by the village, everything else on the property is our responsibility. Davis Tree Care has come out to trim, treat, and tend to any troublesome trees on our territory. We have always found them to be friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. read more

This is the second time we have used Davis Tree Care to trim up a large maple we have in our back yard. They are very accommodating, considerate of our neighbors and clean up every stick that falls from their work. The maple we have in our back yard is very large and intrudes in both my neighbors yards, so finding the right company to be this considerate is important to me. I will continue to use them and refer them to everyone looking for professional, trustworthy, accountable tree trimmers. read more

We had to have a couple limbs cut off a large tree in our back yard w/ a 4' fence, a 5' fence and a garage around it, so we emailed Dan, he came out quoted the job and was able to make an appointment w/ us. He was very flexible on the appointment date, was on time for the job, cleaned up our yard and the neighbor yard, company very pleasant to work w/. Most of communication was via email rather than phone calls. Pleased w/ the job. read more

I'm rating them one cuz I can't give zero stars as far as I know. I made three calls to this place, one in Nov, one in January and one in Feb and was always promised an estimate. Needless to say,none ever arrived. I get that one was around the holidays but the weather was fine. Pruning is supposed to be done in spring so I waited. I gave up and actually found an awesome professional company to provide multiple services in two locations for about two grand each. Davis has zero business being listed as a service. Save yourself considerable time and anger by ignoring their name wherever you see it! I tried to provide business to a local company but oh well. Hope you do the same! read more

My experience with Davis Tree Care was great. Everyone I dealt with was professional and courteous, and I timely received am estimate for the work to be performed and the work was completed quickly. They were actually able to complete my work sooner than expected because they were working at my neighbors house. The estimator sent to my home, Jeff, was also working next door, and he remembered that I wanted work done. He stopped by and asked if he could do the work that day, and even worked with us on pricing. If you have any tree care needs, this is the place to call! read more

Had the canopy raised on a large tree in the front yard and a medium sized tree in the backyard. Davis did an awesome job trimming up the branches. The trees look great! The crew was efficient and cleaned up the work site like they weren't even there. Had a small issue which the owner was quick to rectify. read more

Trying to understand the receptionist is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. She definitely is not the brightest and the amount of times she uses I don't know is more than my 11 year old. Promised a call back and never received it. Will wait for warmer weather and call another company that services Melrose. read more

These guys are top notch! From the quick response time to great communication to an unbeatable quote to excellent work with great service! They went above and beyond to make us extremely satisfied with the job! Thanks Tim and Team! You're on our top 10 list. We will call you again when needed and tell all our friends. A++ read more

Once again, I am writing to say what a wonderful job Davis Tree Care does. They honestly and quickly follow through with answers, estimates and quality care. I will continue to use the for all my tree care needs in the future. I couldn't be more pleased! read more

They've done good work on pruning trees for us in the past, but never again. Davis guy just showed up AT MY HOME ranting about a bill that had been paid 8 months ago, asking me to write him a check right now "for $500 so we can put this to bed." The whole time he was standing there with his pants unzipped, smelling odd, and ignoring my request that he cover himself. Not sure what story is...but I'd steer clear. Note: This is second time that we've written checks that the Davis office has "lost", which left us having to stop payment on the first check, cut another, and deal with phone calls and letters. That's a big, fat 'F' on customer service in my book. read more

Called Davis tree care for an estimate to trim and remove a tree. They came out the next day. Emailed an estimate that was very, very reasonable. Came out two days later and did a good job. They are my tree guys from now on. read more

Davis cut down a tree that was growing underneath our neighbors garage and our fence and they also pruned our backyard tree. Kevin came and talked with my husband for a long time and gave an estimate that was not over the top as some other tree services we called. The service from Kevin and his staff were great. The clean up was great too. Our tree looks beautiful and we are very happy. read more

Work done July 11, 2018 I am a 78 year old female and was terribly distressed by the awful, sloppy, poor job that Davis Tree Care did for me. They came early in the morning and were done in about 2 hours. A few days later I paid the bill of $1,875.00 for the removal of the huge American elm limb that had fallen, and in the fall had also damaged my large pear tree. When I made a careful inspection of my back yard, I discovered that the cleanup of the yard was sloppy, small branches all over. Then I noticed that each tree still had a dead branch dangling from it. I was concerned that it would fall on me and called to have them come back to remove these two branches. I called at least 4 or 5 times and talked to the office girl who said she would pass on my complaint. I sent emails to the man who had given me the estimate. Nothing happened. No results from either person. No one called. No one came. This was terribly stressful. On July 27, my 17 year old grandson came and saw how stressed out I was. He hauled out an old, rickety ladder from my basement, took a shovel, climbed up and started to whack at the branches. My lawyer neighbor and I watched with great trepidation. My grandson kept whacking until both branches fell. The lawyer said no one should be treated this way. He advised me to write to Yelp, the Illinois Consumer Council and the Better Business Bureau.

These are the go-to for tree service. Efficient, professional, friendly and reasonably priced. They gave us an estimate, came when they said they would, did not leave any debris and my trees look great. Will definitely call them again - highly recommend read more

We contracted with Sterling Tree Solutions for removal of a very large and very dead ash tree on a neighboring property. The Sterling/Davis crew showed up and did a masterful job. We greatly appreciate their expertise and professionalism in helping get rid of an unsightly hazard in our neighborhood! Thanks to TIM and crew for a job well done!

Davis Tree Care gets great reviews. I now see why. We had a 40 foot high spruce tree that was suddenly coming up at the roots and leaning heavily on another tree. They quickly came out, provided an assessment and a very affordable quote. They prioritized our situation, noting that a storm was coming this week, and took the tree down and did so with experience and skill. They will now be our go-to tree service. read more

Hired Davis to prune several of my neighbors trees overhanging my property. The crew of four arrived at 7:30 A.M. and Bob Davis was with them on site to supervise. They did an excellent job, using a lift truck to prune the trees overhanging my house, and two guys climbing the huge maple in back to cut off branches overhanging my yard. Extensive work took about two hours. After trimming, they meticulously cleaned up. I look for two things in a service provider: excellent service, and a reasonable price. Davis scores high on both. If I need work done in the future, I will certainly call them again. read more

There are always several sides to a situation, but the following is wholly based on documented results which had completely different outcomes elsewhere by different companies. By no way are these isolated incidences, as many certified Arborist backed by years of experience not maliciously, but unintentially misinformed the public when supplying outdated facts about EAB. To be clear, all other methods practiced by SD are not in question here, and stand out as exemplary examples for the humble trade. I invite an official response to further clarify this issue...especially because truly hated writing something possibly negative about an entity proudly credited with sparking my interest for everything trees early in life. In 2009 when Emerald Ash borer hit Chicagoland's storied Western suburbs of Oak Park & River Forest, as an Arborist, local tree keeper and Community tree historian, I authored and supplied over 3000 local Ash owners with a flier containing every proven available option regarding their families endangered tree. It was then up to these owners to contact a tree care company having it either cut down before dying and becoming dangerous, preventively self apply product themselves or having professionally protected until danger from EAB infestation populations inevitably passed locally, like already has happened in part of Mi. where 1st EAB arrived. Since Davis, now Sterling Davis rightfully earned local reputation for outstanding tree care over past 40 yrs. working on communities most historic old growth & Prairie style era planted examples, many property owners confidently hired said Co. to protect their Ash with either Soil or trunk injections. Several were informed early on, even though tree was still healthy and safe, it would be waist of time and money treating anything over 100 yrs. old since only had short lifespan(Reality Green & Blue has 300, & White 600 proven yr. lifespans or 285 & 400 respectively within Urban settings). When advised SD estimate of treatment cost would be very expensive, needed 4 life of tree, and inevitably succumb to EAB anyways in time, owners who desired to save tree by any means contracted for injections regardless. Then when 2 yr. treatment cycle was up and needed to be redone, according to customers "Recollections" S.Davis either did not emphasize on first visit that retreatment would be needed again, or never called back to remind in spring. A fact which supersedes above statements is derived from actual billing which (Normally) clearly states an insecticides efficacy (Time) limit. But individual customers I spoke with could not produce their paperwork. This quite probably caused the unnecessary losses of our communities most precious 120-160 old examples either planted by Frank Lloyd Wright, Fredric law Olmsted & Jens Jensen, or wild old growth natives. Since SD was also responsible for educating decision making representatives of public parks landscaped by Jensen in OP & RF a century ago, these districts also needlessly lost every one of their historic 100+ old Ash without even attempting to save one. In the end customers had to immediately pay out $3000-$6000 in one lump sum, rather then temporarily protect tree for $300-$550 every two years until danger from EAB subsided. One embarrassing situation after encouraging a local Church to have their "Manna Ash" treated resulted in trees continued decline, though "properly" applied product utilized had been well documented achieving god sent like successes. read more

We just had a huge tree removed from our backyard. As sad as we were to see it go, the job done to remove it, helped with the whole process. The price was very competitive, the removal was done on the day we expected, the customer service was excellent. Tim stopped by to explain the process and was very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Davis for any of your tree removal needs. Lynn L. read more

Davis Tree Care has taken care of our trees for years with professionalism, has always done so in a timely manner, and has charged very reasonable fees to do so. Do be careful to call the right company (there is another Davis tree (I'm told a rogue family member) with which people sometimes have unfortunate experiences).. The legitimate one is in Forest Park....They have a yard right behind the car wash on Madison west of Des Plaines. read more

I would never use these guys again. They came in like cowboys, trampled all my hostas (which took some effort) and did not even do a good job. Customer service after the fact is non-existent. Then I got an email asking for a good review on Yelp. That was the icing on the cake. Never left a bad review of anyone before. read more

FABULOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE! This was the second time we used Davis Tree Care. Last year for trimming 5 trees around our property. This year to remove an Ash tree that was dead on the shared property line. We had a reasonable estimate the same day. Scheduled removal within one week. They were professional and the job was completed very quickly. Both of our yards were left clean. I will only use Davis Tree Care for our tree trimming/removal needs. read more

This company won't return my calls! I've left at least 3 detailed messages over the past several weeks. I had heard great things about Davis Tree Care... but my opinion has changed since they don't appear to value new customers what-so-ever! read more

They gave me a reasonable quote last year for tree removal. I dragged my feet in spending the money but it had to be done. I'm a first time home owner and wasn't sure about the price. My neighbor and my mom reassured me their price was awesome for my size tree so I hired them. They were quick, clean and efficient. Girl on the phone was very pleasant to deal with too! If I need them again, they will be the first place I call. read more

Service personnel never showed up, nor called to re-schedule. I called the following day to cancel appointment and find another company that is interested in providing good customer service. read more
