The Care of Trees

The Care of Trees is a privately held American tree-care services brand serving residential customers in selected metropolitan markets across the United States. Its operations cover the Chicago area, southwestern Connecticut, New York, Philadelphia, northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The company is described as one of the largest residential tree-care businesses in North America. The business began in 1967 under the name Hendricksen Tree Experts, Inc. The original name reflected its tree-expert service orientation, while the later brand name placed greater emphasis on ongoing stewardship and care of trees. In November 1988, the company changed its corporate name to The Care of Trees, Inc., establishing the identity under which it became known in its principal markets. The company’s core business is arboricultural service rather than the sale of a consumer product. Its work is therefore associated with the maintenance, preservation, and management of trees for residential properties and homeowners. The available reference material does not provide a detailed service catalog, pricing information, executive roster, financial results, or a standalone corporate website, so those aspects should not be inferred beyond the company’s general tree-care role. In June 2008, The Care of Trees merged with The Davey Tree Expert Company. Following the transaction, The Care of Trees became a wholly owned subsidiary of Davey Tree. The merger connected the regional residential tree-care brand to a larger tree, lawn, and environmental-services organization while allowing The Care of Trees to retain its established market identity. The company is consequently best understood as a regional operating brand within the Davey organization rather than as an independently listed public company. The brand’s positioning is centered on professional residential tree care, local market service, and the long-term health and management of trees. Its geographic footprint is concentrated in large population centers in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic/Northeastern United States. No reliable reference material supplied for this entry establishes a current leadership team, product sub-brands, major advertising campaigns, scandals, or financial disclosures.

The Care of Trees traces its origins to 1967, when the business was incorporated as Hendricksen Tree Experts, Inc. The available historical record identifies the company as a provider of professional tree-care services, particularly for residential customers. Its business model has been based on serving homeowners and property owners in metropolitan areas where demand exists for expert tree maintenance and management. In November 1988, the company adopted the name The Care of Trees, Inc. The renaming marked a transition from the Hendricksen identity to a brand name emphasizing tree stewardship and continuing care. The new name became the company’s principal public identity as it developed a presence in multiple urban and suburban markets. The company’s geographic operations have included the Chicago metropolitan area, southwestern Connecticut, New York, Philadelphia, northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. This footprint gives the brand a regional rather than nationwide profile, with activity concentrated in major residential markets across the Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic. The company has been characterized as the fourth-largest residential tree-care company in North America, although the supplied reference does not provide a date or methodology for that ranking. A major corporate turning point occurred in June 2008, when The Care of Trees merged with The Davey Tree Expert Company. After the merger, The Care of Trees became a wholly owned subsidiary of Davey Tree. The transaction placed the brand within a larger tree-care organization while preserving The Care of Trees as an identifiable operating brand in its established territories. The available reference material does not document the company’s individual founders, executive succession, detailed service categories, revenue, employee count, consumer campaigns, litigation history, or current corporate website. Accordingly, the documented history is principally one of incorporation, renaming, regional expansion, and integration into The Davey Tree Expert Company.
