J Davis Tree Care Solutions

Said they would arrive between 1 and 3 P.M. Arrived at 3:25 PM. While working, my wife and I asked them about doing some more trimming on a couple of the trees and were told that was not on the estimated price given and/or that is not what was called out on the sheet. Also, doing what we asked them to do would make the tree not look right and if they took more off where we wanted, it would cause them to have to go all around the tree again to reshape it. Also, asked them to remove one limb from Maple tree in the back and was told it was not on the sheet. However, I said I would pay for it. Took less than 4 minutes to cut it and haul it off to the truck out front - charged additional $100. They still left a dead limb on the tree. Also, did not do well at trimming the dead from the Mulberry tree. At one point one worker asked another what was meant on the Job/worksheet and the other said he did not know what it meant. Was completed and they left at 4:25 P.M. ( a total of one hour on site). I called Monday to get the price owed and the office could not provide it because the work sheet had not been turned in. I asked what J Davis normally charged by the hour and was told $395 an hour. Finally called me Tuesday afternoon (today) and said they had the price. I called back and was given a price of $795 for the work (they added $100 to the estimate was for the one extra limb I asked them to cut off). Then, there a 5% disposal fee added to the $795 and then the sales tax was added to that, coming to a total of $903.62. When I asked about the hourly rate of $395, I was told they could not answer that because if the hourly rate was charged, they may not have sent out as many people or it may have taken longer; etc., etc. (Really?) Takeaway from this is that I should have asked the person giving me the original estimate what he figured/estimated timewise it would take to complete the work. Then if it was estimated at say two hours but only took one hour, the final price should be revised downward. Also, if the workers did not know exactly what was meant on the sheet they used, either they are not well trained or perhaps the person giving the estimate should be with them while they are doing the job so he can answer any questions. Finally, I think that the homeowner should be satisfied with the work and if he/she is not, they should do what the homeowner wants (rather than saying they cannot do this or that). I paid the requested amount, but I do not believe I will use this service again.

I have used them for years. They are really nice.

Very well, they did a great job and worked hard to save what could be saved. They were there timely and worked for a full day. The end result was as they had explained.

I have used J Davis for tree care for many years. They have always done excellent work. They always send out an arborist to evaluate the trees and help me determine what needs to be done. As usual, they were on time and efficient and do excellent clean up. I wouldn't use anyone else.

It went very well. Arborist who came over to do free estimate was very knowledgeable and able to explain what did or didn't need to be done. The work crew that came over cut, trimmed, raked and cleaned up all debris. They bring their own mulching unit, so clean up went very well. I have referred their business to my neighbors. One has already used their service and was very pleased.

Billy Davis came out and gave us a bid, told us when they would be available, showed up when they said they would and did a great job for a very reasonable price. I have used them on a number of occasions and have never had a problem or been disappointed in their work or service

Shannon came to our house and walked the entire landscape with me, indulging my questions and offering his observations.  He was polite, patient, friendly, professional/insightful and had a great sense of humor!  Shannon took the time to explain how I needed to care for certain trees, ways they should be pruned for optimal care and how I could tell that my tree was dead.  (We had hoped it would "come back.") Shannon quoted me the price of the tree removal and stump grinding: It was fully <strong><em>HALF</em></strong> of what I had been previously quoted!!  Shannon really took his time at our appointment, even suggesting which type of tree would be best to replace the removed tree, based on what I wanted (shade? fast growing? color? etc.) and gave me the card of a local garden center where the arborists there could help me select and purchase a tree.  J Davis doesn't not sell/plant trees, but will coordinate the work with the vendor you select. <br /> J Davis gives you a general timeframe for service, based on weather.  With the recent rains, our tree removal was delayed. Shannon called the day before to let me know when the crew was coming out.  The crew left a <em>signed card </em>on my door after removing the tree; I was home working and never knew they were there!  The stump grinding has been delayed due to rain, but I am confident that it will be done.  I am grateful that a friends of mine referred me to them. <br />

We used them since 1993.  We have a huge oak tree when we built the house.  One of the big trees died and they just have to remove that.  They came out and they cleaned out; got out the roots and every year they came out and do the trimming. If there's a bad storm I call them they come right away.  I've used them for 20 years.  They're really, really good.  They're very professional.  Their prices are reasonable.  They're excellent.  They're no expensive than anybody else.  The quality of what they do and every tree we have they take care of it.

They were quick, after my call they came out within a week.  The leaves are out fully but I don't know, it is fairly gone so I have to see if this year if it needs to be removed but I am hoping that it will looked better than last year but I can't tell it yet.  I would recommend them.  They are certified arborist so that carries a value with me.
