Customer Testimonials
“Let me say that Vassar's association with SavATree has been very positive and we are achieving great success in managing our campus trees in terms of safety and aesthetics. And our insurance carrier is quite pleased with this effort. Vassar is pleased with SavATree and the work being performed on campus.”

“Your tree crew (a father and two sons) just finished removing two trees, and pruning another on my property. They were extremely neat and professional, making sure that everything was they way they found it. I could not be more satisfied. I definitely plan on using your company for any future tree work on my property, and will also heartily recommend you to anyone I know needing your services.”

“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.”

Cleaning Up Winter Storm Damage
Winter storms can be destructive, especially for trees. Broken tree branches are a common result. Unlike a person, when a tree is injured or damaged, it cannot heal its wounds. Instead trees react to injury by sealing off damaged areas. When a tree is wounded, whether by breakage in a storm or insect activity, it creates boundaries around the wound in order to stop the spread of disease and decay, and then continues to grow.
After an ice storm, do nothing at all! The brittle coat formed by ice acts as both a load and a support. Let nature take its course.
Assess Trees to Minimize Damage after a Storm
To minimize the damage that can be caused by heavy snow left on trees and shrubs, assess your property after heavy winter storms. Shrubs that are completely buried should be left alone. The same is true for leafless deciduous trees and most needle-leafed pines. If a tree is badly bowed down (usually occurs with small trees), gently shake the trunk to dislodge the snowy burden. Bounce lower branches from underneath to relieve the most heavily stressed areas. Dense evergreens and shrubs are often deformed by heavy snow. Using the bristle end of a broom, gently bounce the middle of the branches from underneath.
For major damage such as a fallen tree or limb call or click to contact your arborist.
