What is Davey doing to provide services safely?
With the nature of our low contact services, we plan to operate and perform tree and landscape services as requested by our clients. We are requiring our teams to use hand sanitizer before exiting their vehicles prior to entering a client’s property and deep-cleaning tools and equipment.
Additionally, when clients do need to interact with one of our local team members directly, they understand that in order to reduce the potential spread of infection, they will comply with recommended social distancing practices, wear face masks, and will not offer a handshake, etc. As an additional measure, we will call in advance of a property visit in the event that you have questions.
We understand it’s tough to feel at ease in a time like this, and we are happy to send any proposals or invoices digitally via email upon client request.

We are working diligently to minimize any delays in service due to impact from these changes and will contact clients directly if there are any adjustments to already scheduled appointments.

What services are important during the next few months?
This is a critical time of year for our industry due to the abundance of plant growth that requires prompt maintenance and care. Any halt or service delay during this time of year magnifies potential safety problems.
- Hazardous tree removal: Dead or declining trees pose a threat to you and your home. They can lose branches or fail in a storm and severely damage your home or property.
- Pruning: For safety purposes, remove any dead, dying or decaying branches to keep your tree (and home) safe.
- Leaf disease and fungal treatments: Spring’s typically wet conditions create the perfect environment for disease development. Appropriate timing of preventative treatments is critical to get ahead of issues.
- Pest Management: A number of insects and pests are most active during spring and early summer and specific treatment windows are required for optimal impact. If not properly treated, significant damage could result
