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.”

“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

"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.”

Wanted Alive: Beneficial Insects
The following Beneficial Insects are known to lurk in landscapes throughout the northeast: Assassin Bug, Predaceous Stink Bug, Predaceous Mite, Greenwing Lacebug, Bumblebee, and Trichogramma Wasp. As intimidating as they may sound, these insects are harmless to humans and beneficial to the plants on your landscape!
All insects, in their native habitats, have natural enemies that help control their populations. Many of the insects we consider "pests" have been introduced to our local environment and therefore, do not have a natural enemy. As a result, populations of these pests grow to unmanageable levels. Fortunately, beneficial insects (insects which feed on the larvae and adults of insects which are destructive to trees and shrubs) help keep your plants healthy in a natural way.
While these beneficials may seem like a perfect solution to pest conditions, they do not completely control pest populations. Some insects, such as predaceous mites may eat only six aphids a day - hardly enough when your andromeda is crawling with them. However, if these beneficials are either introduced or attracted to your landscape early in the season, they may help prevent a heavy pest infestation.
You may attract beneficial insects to your property by planting a variety of flowers which offer an abundant supply of pollen and nectar (food) such as: Queen Anne's Lace, sunflowers, yarrow, marigold, asters, dill, fennel, goldenrod and ivies.
Before you run to the store for a case of predacious stinkbugs, consider the effect each release will have on the ecosystem and remember that timing is an important factor when implementing the use of beneficials. For instance, trichogramma wasps should be released in late May or early June to do their best against pests.
Beneficial Insect Release is also an integral part of SavATree's Arbor Patrol Program. For more information, contact your arborist.
