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.”

“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.”

Careers in Arboriculture
Signs of this "arboricultural renaissance" are visible all over the world. For instance, one of the most prominent industry organizations, The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), has seen tremendous increase in its membership. It has grown from 36 members in 1924 to over 11,000! Although Arboriculture has been practiced for centuries it is a relatively young profession which only began gaining momentum at the end of World War II. Before that time, most professional management of natural resources focused on the Forestry industry relative to producing paper, timber and other wood products.
Today, Arboriculture is recognized as a major discipline at many universities which, until recently, may have only offered a class or two on a related subject. After graduation, most students find that the employment opportunities in Arboriculture are plentiful and diverse: ranging from field specialists and consulting arborists to operations and management. A trademark of companies such as SavATree is the extensive training programs which enable new hires to gain hands-on experience while applying the skills they have learned in the classroom. We have found this to be the most effective way to help trainees become familiar with the principles of tree culture, mechanical injury to trees, plant health care, fertilization, pruning, tree restoration and tree removal as well as customer service, management and administration. In fact, education and certification is the key factor which distinguishes tree care professionals from "fly-by-night" companies which employ untrained, inexperienced personnel.
Fortunately, the growth of this profession has created increased awareness and regulation which has resulted in enhanced safety and quality. At SavATree, we take this one step further by insisting that our arborists be certified by the ISA and that they rigorously adhere to the standards set forth. Just as important, we seek to employ individuals who possess the skills, knowledge and motivation necessary to work together as a team. If you have an opportunity to influence someone's career choices, consider letting them in on the best kept secret: tree doctors are in demand!
