What Hartney Greymont does

Hartney Greymont is a Massachusetts-based tree care, lawn care, and landscape services company operating as a regional division of The Davey Tree Expert Company, a private firm founded in 1880. The company joined Davey in 2010 and currently operates from four offices — Needham (headquarters), Concord, Danvers (formerly Carpenter Costin, also acquired in 2010), and Cape Cod (Mashpee, added March 2022) — serving residential and commercial property owners across the greater Boston region. Services are delivered on-site by ISA-certified and Massachusetts-certified arborists and span residential and commercial tree care (trimming, pruning, plant health care, fertilization, disease/insect management, storm prep, planting, safety, property assessments), lawn care (fertilization, aeration, grub and weed control, organic options, compost top dressing), and landscape design and installation (hardscaping, patios, drainage, planting). The DaveyCare Client Promise provides a service guarantee on residential work.

The business model is a professional services, field-based operation with quote-based, project-by-project pricing supplemented by recurring plant health care and lawn care programs; customer acquisition combines free on-site consultations, a $100-per-referral credit program, content marketing, social media, and community engagement (Green Leaders program, Arbor Day partnerships with the Massachusetts Association of Arborists and Boston Parks and Recreation). The company holds TCIA accreditation and maintains a talent pipeline through UMass Amherst's Stockbridge School of Agriculture. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and Hartney Greymont operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary with no independent funding history.

Others

• Stantec (formerly Cardno utility vegetation services): Global engineering, environmental, and GIS consulting firm with a utility vegetation management practice that competes for the same municipal and utility vegetation contracts Hartney pursues. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem participant working with utilities and municipalities on tree-related asset management.

Comparable because it shares Davey ownership, ISA-trained staff, and serves overlapping utility and municipal clients.

Direct peers
