Windsor, CT —April 4, 2007—SavATree, a leader in the Northeast region in tree, shrub and lawn care, announced an acquisition of Connecticut based Butler Tree Co.’s tree, shrub and lawn care division and the opening of a new office in Windsor CT. SavATree’s growth continues with the opening of this 19th branch location. The attainment of Butler’s tree, shrub and lawn sector will further promotes SavATree’s strategy to provide environmentally-minded services to residential, commercial and historic properties.
