North American Tree Service

What North American Tree Service does

North American Tree Service has been acquired by and now operates as a local branch of The Davey Tree Expert Company, an employee-owned corporation founded in 1880 and headquartered in Kent, Ohio. The combined entity delivers tree care, lawn services, commercial grounds management, utility vegetation management, and environmental consulting across the US and Canada, supported by a continent-wide network of local offices.

The service catalog is organized across four operating segments. Residential services include tree health inspection, planting, removal, trimming, fertilization, storm preparation, lawn aeration and fertilization, and pest control. Commercial services cover grounds maintenance, snow and ice management, and water management. Utility services span vegetation management, line clearance, and right-of-way maintenance. Environmental consulting addresses wetlands, stormwater, ecosystem restoration, and urban forestry, with Solar Energy Services offered as a newer line. Underlying capability rests on ISA certified arborists, the Davey Institute R&D laboratory, and a proprietary TreeKeeper Inventory Management Software used to track asset inventories across client properties.

The business model combines professional services (project-based tree care and commercial grounds contracts), managed services (multi-year utility vegetation programs), and recurring residential treatment programs sold through a consultation-led funnel. Enterprise and utility relationships are structured as multi-year contracts, while residential revenue is fragmented across homeowners. The integrated platform pursues brand-led demand generation through a podcast, blogs, video content, and the DaveyCare Client Promise service-level program.
