Customer Testimonials
“We appreciate the time and attention that your Arbor Patrol team takes to maintain the overall health and appearance of the trees, bushes and general grounds. As they say, you can only have one first impression and the impression the grounds make on both residents and visitors alike is always positive thanks to your caring maintenance. Just as the trees continue to grow and blossom under your care, we hope our relationship with SavATree does the same.”
William Toedter
Southampton, NY
“After four different unsatisfactory visits with so-called arborists, I found SavaTree... I was most impressed with the professionalism of David [my arborists] and his colleagues. They were most knowledgeable, fair with their assessment about what needed to be done, yet very attuned with what my concerns. I highly recommend them without any hesitation. In a field where there is an abundance of folks looking to take advantage of consumers, SavaTree, David and crew strike me as incredibly honest and proud arborists who do a fantastic job.”

“I am a new and highly satisfied customer of SavATree. For 50 years I have lived in the same house in the Greenhaven area, and in that time I have never had a tree company that gave me such fine service.”
Joan Kleinbard
Rye, NY
“It is always a pleasure working with SavATree as your company provides the best plant, tree and lawn health care that we have experienced at the Ives. Always professional, courteous and responsive to our needs, SavATree’s services have provided our employees and patrons with pleasant outdoor experiences in an insect free environment for several years.”

“For over 14 years, I have entrusted the care of my trees, plants and orchard to SavATree. Their highly qualified arborists have exacting standards and understand how to maintain the health and form of the various species of trees on my property. I admire the artistic skill that goes into the pruning and love the colorful blossoms, fruits and foliage that flourish as a result of their impeccable care.”
Martha Stewart
Katonah, NY
"Efficient, high quality, professional competence — all at a competitive sum. At first [Alison] Pottage won me over by her solid knowledge as an arborist, then the crew did their job to her specifications on our 60 to 70 foot oaks within a remarkable period of time -- and left the grounds quite clean.”

Sometimes bills are paid grudgingly. I pay with respect to a company whose pride lives up to its logo. It’s love of what you do and I thank you.”

Adding to the Family
For the last twenty years the business media has been dominated by reports of mind boggling mergers and acquisitions. Many of our clients have been affected by merger mania, either directly in their own business or employment, or indirectly, as the stores they frequent or services companies they hire seek to gain competitive advantage in the market.
The tree care industry has seen a lot of merger activity as well. Although the firms often aren't large enough to make headlines, the motives for merging are similar to the larger ones you may read about. Our business requires certain economies of scale in order to bring high quality customized solutions to our clients, and attract and retain the best talent to meet an increasing number of regulatory requirements while keeping costs as low as possible.
SavATree has been actively pursuing other tree care firms that share our passion for excellence, leading to seventeen acquisitions in the last ten years. Most of these mergers are commenced for market share purposes, but what we have gained in adding quality firms to the SavATree family is far more extensive than just economic benefit.
Each firm has a unique way of doing business. There is something to learn with every acquisition, and we have grown as an organization thanks to the collective wisdom of the fine firms that have joined forces with us over the years. We have benefited greatly by the entrepreneurial spirit, family-business work ethic and local expertise of each and every acquisition. But by far the greatest benefit comes from incorporating the talented team members and valued clients into our portfolio.
Our company depends on sustaining relationships with loyal customers and highly qualified employees to stay in business, and we appreciate both groups immensely! I am truly honored to incorporate and build upon the unique heritage of all of the tree care companies that have joined the SavATree family, and look forward to adding more in the future.
On a personal note:
I am thrilled to share with you the arrival of the newest addition to the van Starrenburg family – daughter Kiersten arrived on July 10th, weighing in at 6 lb 14 oz.
