Tree reviews in Alexandria, Virginia

Great experience. Timely estimate after my initial inquiry and then we were able to get on the schedule rather quickly to have the 100’ cherry tree in our backyard crowded. Crew was professional, fast and cleaned up afterward.

We bought our house 20 years ago and the home inspector said we were facing some tree problems.

Searched all over for a licensed and reliable tree company to do the work.
Found The Care of Trees (now Davey) and they have been awesome!
Licensed Arborists do the consultation and they are NOT quick to just remove trees - which impressed me. They always take the time to discuss options and that makes me feel like they are as good as their name - The CARE of Trees.

They aren't the cheapest - but you get what you pay for !!

Last year I hired this company they sent Zana out and did an outstanding job for me… This year I called them they sent Zana out. She’s been totally unresponsive. It’s been over a month and it’s like pulling teeth to get her to call me back. I then called the office and they were going to have the manager Call me that was a week and a half ago I have yet to hear from him. I strongly recommend at this point not wasting your time trying to get an estimate from this company because they just don’t care.

Very professional and thorough. The crew explained the process prior to commencing and cleaned up all trimmings and tree limbs. On time and very respectful of my property and neighborhood. The office staff and sales representatives are knowledgeable and informed. Would recommend them to everyone needing assistance with landscaping and tree preservation.

We have used Care of Trees/Davey for years to care for a number of very large trees on our property. Their most recent visit did not disappoint. They trimmed as needed, were careful not to drop anything onto the house, or into the pond, and cleaned the yard perfectly. We recommend them very highly.

The crew finished cutting down a tree that was toppled in the snow storm this January, cut broken branches from other trees, and cleared all the resulting debris. In addition, they accessed our yard by the fence to cut overlapping broken branches from our neighbors' tree. They took care not to cause any additional damage to our trees, were careful of the fence, and cleared the area completely afterward. We recommend Davey Tree and will not hesitate to call them again for additional work.

Davey just finished removing 2 trees from my property and I could not be more pleased. I live in a rowhouse with a shared alley in the back. The workers showed up in advance of the 8:30 start time to assess the alley and move trash bins to clear the path for the crane. I had a neighbor who refused to move his car because objected to the fact that I was cutting down trees on my own property. Mike Whetzel spoke to him separately and got him to move his car. The work went very quickly and the guys cleaned up my yard and the alley and moved everything back afterwards. I got 4 quotes from different tree removal companies and Davey's was the most competitive. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Highly recommend.

We have used Davey Tree Expert for over 25 years. Our May 2022 service for triming and pruning was typical of the excellence of this company and justifies this posting which I hope will be encouraging to others. This most recent service began with a visit by the expert for our region who carefully reviewed the work to be done. It was followed by the crew that worked with obvious skill, impressive results and excellent cleanup. The process ended with a fairly priced bill that matched the estimate. We recommend Davey Tree Experts. George and Mariyn Handy

I have used Davey Tree three times so far, each time the work has been excellent,. The work was done quickly and the price was much less than the other estimates I received. They just treated my Crape Myrtle for an aphid infestation, and had previously trimmed a large tree and removed a smaller one. They pruned the Crape Myrtle in my front yard yesterday, and trimmed the branches from a neighbor's tree that was hanging over my yard. They come out right away and complete the work quickly.

This company just came by to cut the limbs on my neighbors massive Bradford pear tree in Alexandria that still had all its leaves. But they left all the leaves in my yard even though I signaled them to please blow them away. But no, they were too busy or whatever and could not do it in my little tiny townhouse yard which is a bit of a pain because I just finished raking the leaves from my yard this weekend. I’m very disappointed in this company and the workers that couldn’t take a few minutes to blow away the leaves from my neighbors massive.

Christopher and Mynor took care of grounding several huge tree trunks in my backyard. Christopher came out and gave the estimate. He was great. Professional and easy to work with. He followed up immediately. Even when I contacted him a month later he responded quickly and pleasantly. In addition, their prices were fair and reasonable.

Mynor worked steadily and efficiently. He was responsive to my questions and requests. Both men had excellent communication skills and were happy to share their knowledge.

Very rare to find such excellent service. Thank you!

They provided a no-pressure estimate, which was reasonably priced. A friendly crew did the work efficiently and competently. Special call out to arborist Jason who made a follow-up visit after the job was completed to discuss a few comments we had on the work, and he helped resolve the issue to our satisfaction. He definitely went above and beyond. Let's face it, many tree removal companies will probably do similar work so this type of customer service is what separates companies from the rest.

This is by far the best landscaping crew we've ever used, and we have used many! They removed a tree and stump, and cleaned up the massive amounts of leaves and sticks in our yard. They did an incredibly thorough job and exceeded my expectations! Our property has never looked this good before! Pricing was very fair and communication was responsive. We will never use anyone else in the future!

Excellent service. Would highly recommend

Did great work, competitive pricing!

Terrible business. Didn't show for appointment. After waiting and calling he said he would come by. Didn't show again. Then hung up on me when I called back. Left me in a pinch as I was moving out of my house. Avoid at all costs.

They trimmed the huge oak tree right in front of our house - they were efficient and professional. They cleaned up the area after as well. I recommend them for tree services.

Carlos and his crew were great. They were very efficient and professional. Their pricing is also pretty reasonable. I will definitely contact them again for any tree or landscape related work.

My neighor used this company to trim a large tulip tree on our property line. They crowned it. In June. So I'm pretty sure they want to be hired back every year to remove the rest of its branches as they succumb to pests and rot until the entire tree dies. I guess the one compliment I can give them is that they were really fast at removing most of the tree's canopy. However, the downside of speed was that they were really not careful, and they dropped one of the tulip tree branches on my oak tree, breaking a large branch off. Don't hire these guys. Your trees and neighbors will thank you.

Great work, fast, fairly priced.
Carlos and his team have been consistently punctual or early, never late. I’ve used their services for tree removal, tree trimming, mulching, and yard work. All top notch.
