## The honest read

Dave's Tree Service is a Tolland tree company with a 5-star Google average across 221 ratings.

A recent customer who texted on a Saturday about a crabapple crowding the driveway said Dave showed up that same day and the tree was gone within a few days. A recent customer said a tree that struck their house in a July 4th storm was cleared and tarped in about 6-7 hours. A recent customer wrote that a dead tree just outside an alpaca pen was taken down, with the lift operator maneuvering through the pen gates to reach it. A recent customer with dead trees hanging over the house said Dave arrived the same hour, gave a quote, and returned the same week, using a lift for the tall trees. A 2026 customer said nearly 20 trees were removed and several branches trimmed on their property.

In a 2025 review, a Somers Public Schools maintenance worker said Joe climbed a very difficult tree to rescue a cat. A 2025 customer said a 48-inch red oak was taken down. In a 2022 review, a customer said Dave and one of his guys dropped what was left of a large tree in the exact spot he said it would fall, without a crane.

A 2024 reviewer described a job done on a rainy day that left holes at least 1 foot deep in the yard, cracked pavers and drove over the septic tank and well, and said Dave did not fix it as promised, leaving them to file a claim against his insurance.

**Strengths:**
- Same-day visit — a recent customer said Dave came the day they texted
- Storm response — a recent customer had a fallen tree cleared and tarped
- Tight-spot removal — a recent customer had a tree taken down near an alpaca pen

**Concerns:**
- Yard damage — a 2024 reviewer reported deep holes and cracked pavers
