Dave's Tree Care

Dave's Tree Care (legally Dave's Tree and Landscaping Services, Inc.) is a Holden company that says it's been doing proactive pruning since 1989 — a claim the BBB's own count of 37 years in business roughly backs up. Owner David Hatton and his crew, including a technician named Tim, hold several credentials as listed on BBB — an ISA Certified Arborist designation, a pesticide license, a CDL hoisting license, and Massachusetts Department of Agriculture and Public Safety licenses — though these are directory-listed claims rather than something independently checked against the state registries here. The nine reviews on file, running from 2021 to 2025, are uniformly positive and specific. A 2025 review calls the crew professional, reasonably priced, and consistently responsive on the phone. A 2023 review, from a customer who describes some arborist knowledge of their own, praises Dave for diagnosing and trimming diseased trees and for cleanup so thorough "you never knew he was here." A 2022 review describes the crew finishing a job in the dark on a cold day rather than leave it half-done, and several reviewers describe using Dave as their go-to tree service across multiple years rather than a one-time hire. BBB rates the business A+ and lists it as accredited. With only nine reviews on file, the written record here is thinner than a larger outfit's, but what's there is consistent across five years and multiple reviewers — pruning, removal, and diseased-tree work handled carefully, with cleanup and communication coming up again and again.
