The Davey Tree Expert Company

10-28-2025 Recommendation for Davey Tree, Westchester County NY Division In August 2025 I engaged the local division of Davey Tree to eradicate a large stand of bamboo on our property in a townhouse cluster community called Walden Wood in Dobbs Ferry, NY. The bamboo stand touched the back ends of three immediate neighbors, plus the back ends of about eight others running down a steep hill to a driveway where our property ends. The bamboo growth covered about a half-acre. Because of the cluster of homes in a wide oval, I had no direct access for heavy equipment to be brought on to our property. The owner of the driveway below allowed an entrance of heavy equipment by using his driveway. On August 25, the Davey Tree crew arrived early morning, worked all day, cutting down all of the bamboo. They worked quickly and continuously. Importantly, they did not cause any damage to our neighbor whose driveway and property was being used. The very next day, a crew arrived with a large stump grinder. Once again, the courteous crew worked quickly and continuously all day, covering the entire involved properties. Subsequently a relatively short time later, a Davey Tree skilled technician applied herbicide to the remaining leafed bamboo shoots and live stalks. The diligence and professionalism of the Davey Tree crews in a situation that touched many properties ended in a very positive outcome with no complaints from the numerous neighbors whose properties were touched by this project. Actually I received many positive comments about the process, the careful way the crews operated and the beautiful result. And I found the contract amount from Davey Tree to accomplish such a positive result to be fair and reasonable. An important factor in the success of this challenging project was the Davey Tree certified arborist, Paul Vega. He managed the crews, advised me on the progress and what would be happening next. Paul went the extra mile during the whole process to make the operation go smoothly. His expert advice was invaluable. Davey Tree is on my list for needed tree work in the future. Robert E.

The Dave Tree Expert Company did a great job at our church. A risky cherry tree that was leaning over the back of our building could only be reached by going up and over the top our two story building. Davey brought the right equipment to do the job and cleaned up all debris after they were finished. The back of our property looks better than it did before they started their work. The crew even pick up a small pile of fallen branches we had been collecting over the winter, a nice gesture.

My experience with Davey Service was excellent. I worked with Paul Vega to assess the condition of the trees in my yard and to come up with a care plan. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I had Davey remove four trees and prune other trees. Did a great job. Very satisfied with the service based on everyone I worked with from the company.

We are so pleased with all the folks at Davey. Paul, especially, responded to every question and concern we had. Our redbud has never looked better! Friendly, good communication and great timely service. Highly recommend.

I worked with Paul Vega to assess a huge red oak we have in our yard which was showing signs of decline. Paul did a thorough inspection of the tree and ultimately determined that there was a fungal infection which would require the tree's removal. Paul did a great job explaining the condition to us and was a great help providing a formal letter that we could submit to the town to get approval for removing the tree. It was a pleasure working with Paul and I would strongly recommend him and Davey for any type of residential tree care.
