D. A. Dunlevy

Dunlevy was contracted by Tree Montgomery to plant a large number of trees in our private townhouse community as part of a voluntary reforestation program. Working with the company was frustrating from start to not-even-finished yet. The company barely communicated with us, and when we did hear from them their emails, while exceedingly polite, were inaccurate, out of date, and usually cut-and-pasted form replies. We spent two months waiting to get utilities marked because Dunlevy kept submitting obviously incomplete, unacceptable requests to Miss Utility. Once the utilities were finally marked it was clear some trees needed to be relocated, a very common situation. Dunlevy wouldn't consult with us or Tree Montgomery about these relocations despite our efforts to contact them. Instead the company just planted trees wherever they liked without warning, including directly on top of utility lines, on other owner's property, or in completely different locations than specified or discussed, all in violation of Tree Montgomery guidelines and without our community's input. We tried to repeatedly ask questions and propose alternate tree locations before the work began, but the company didn't respond before its employees had already planted the trees of concern. We were stuck crossing our fingers someone would be around whenever the crews showed up to make sure the right trees were planted in the right spots. One workman told us our HOA had no right to weigh in on locations at all, which is completely untrue. Weeks later we're still waiting to hear about relocating some of these inappropriately planted trees. Just this week, well after we were told planting was done for the season, we discovered Dunlevy planted a surprise tree where no tree was supposed to go. We think this surprise tree is one that was accidentally skipped over earlier this year, although it was planted hundreds of feet from where it was supposed to go. We asked about this missed tree weeks ago but never heard back from Dunlevy. The surprise tree was planted right next to a mature tree where it obviously cannot thrive. It's the third tree relocated by Dunlevy without input that must be cut down or replanted elsewhere, presumably at our community's expense. What was supposed to be a lovely, mutually beneficial county program has come with shovelfuls of aggravation thanks to Dunlevy. The company is clearly in over its head with these larger projects, unable to track what its employees are doing or communicate with its customers in a timely manner. I hope Tree Montgomery will reconsider contracting with them in the future.

The team at DA Dunlevy did an amazing job at my house. They installed a really complicated/unique pool with a spectacular ipe deck and associated lighting, hardscaping, and landscaping. They were very creative, professional, and skilled in the installations. But even better, their customer service was second to none. Great communication and follow-up and they are people of trust and integrity. They also made our project seem really important. We felt that we were a priority, not just another project. Then they helped us with landscape maintenance and I was blown away. I was expecting just weeding, edging, and remulching. But we also received comprehensive plant care including pruning, fertilizing, treatments for fungus/pests and much, much more. I wish every contractor was like DA Dunlevy.

We could not be more pleased with D.A. Dunlevy. They were absolute professionals, from start to finish. We were starting from scratch adding a significant amount of new landscaping, and the design process was seamless - they listened to our initial thoughts, prepared an impressive and professional presentation, and happily made edits to match our taste. From design, to plant selection, to dealing with the administrative and install team, it was an absolute pleasure. We have dealt with countless people/companies in the process of renovating our entire home, and no one has come close to D.A. Dunlevy in terms of quality and professionalism. Can't wait for our next project with them!

Our experience with every member of the Dunlevy team was exceptional from start to finish. We had a time sensitive landscaping/construction need and upon reaching out to them, they immediately provided expert advice and planning. They were able to get a team on-site quickly to begin work and completed everything professionally and ahead of schedule. The finished product was exceptional and created the perfect solution needed. I would highly recommend their team for any sort of landscape, construction, or design project. They’re the absolute best!

We have had D.A. Dunlevy do several huge projects at our home including regrading our backyard, waterproofing, deck removal, tree removal, and brick work on our carport. After almost 10 years, the projects have held up really well. We continued to work with this company because they are responsive, reliable, and the work is done with great care and quality. We would highly recommend this company.
