Caring for Maymont’s Trees
Inspired by their world-wide travels, the Dooleys imported more than 200 species of trees and plants for their estate, creating what is now one of the country’s notable arboretums. To help maintain the health of the Dooleys’ precious natural investment, Maymont receives generous annual tree-care contributions from Davey Tree Expert Co. and Truetimber Tree Service.
 Davey Tree Expert Co.
Davey Tree provides year-round care for 15 of Maymont’s most significant specimens. They include two Deodar Cedars, Laurel Oak, Tulip Tree, American Elm, Cucumbertree Magnolia, Atlas Cedar, Nordmann Fir, Golden Larch, European Linden, Persian Ironwood, Eastern Hemlock, Willow Oak, Ginkgo and Spanish Fir. The Davey Tree Expert Company is one of the oldest and most prestigious tree, shrub and lawn care companies in North America. It was founded in 1880 and has been employee-owned for more than 25 years, making it one of the oldest employee-owned companies in the United States.
 Truetimber Tree Service
Truetimber Tree Service helps Maymont to care for its arboretum with an annual gift of tree work. For one full day each year, all of Truetimber's work crews come to Maymont to perform various tree care services. Truetimber is a full-service tree care company structured to meet the tree-related needs of homeowners. In 2009, Truetimber enlisted the help of Richmond Crane for their annual tree care day at Maymont in order to remove a tree that threatened the Bison Habitat perimeter fence.
