As an employee-owned company, we provide our employees with the opportunity to invest in and become an
owner of the company for which they work. Through employee ownership, our employees have a direct interest
in the success of our company. While our industry faces seasonal employment and high average turnover, our
employee ownership promotes employee performance and loyalty. The company provides a unique opportunity
to our employees, through stock ownership, to be part of a culture that allows them to share in the profitable
growth and success of the company.
More than 800 employees have over 15 years of service with Davey Tree, bringing knowledge, expertise and
experience to our clients.
