      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      Davey Tree service was contracted by Tampa Electric to trim back tree limbs from power lines. They butchered my tree so bad, it looks like they split the branches down the middle. All the branches left on my tree are close to my home. If we get a bad storm with high winds or God forbid, a hurricane, my tree may end up falling on my house. I’ve contacted them directly with my concern and They sent a Representative to my home. When I asked if he would want a tree shaped like this in his yard he replied “no” and laughed. I asked him if they were going to reshape my tree and he said no. I sent an email complaint to the company and got a response from ***** *********. ***** and I played phone tag for a week or so but we never actual spoke. When I would return his calls and get his voicemail, I’d ask him the call my spouse if I was not available but he never did. He has stopped responding to me.
