ABOUT US

John Davey, the father of tree surgery, founded The Davey Tree Expert Company in
1880 to provide arboricultural and horticultural services—tree care methods he perfected
while working as the caretaker of Kent, Ohio's Standing Rock Cemetery. Over 135
years later, we celebrate the 30th birthday of our corporate headquarters' location at
1500 North Mantua Street, which stands across the street from the very cemetery
where Davey developed the science of tree care. Today, Davey Tree operates
throughout North America, providing a variety of tree care, grounds maintenance and
consulting services for the residential, commercial, government and utility markets.
