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.”

“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.”

Poughkeepsie, NY
“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.”

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.”

Chinch Bugs
Chinch bugs can malign even the best of lawn care programs. There are many types of chinch bugs, although the hairy chinch bug is a specific species that is prevalent in the northeastern United States. They attack many types of grass including Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescues, perennial ryegrass, bentgrass, and zoysia.
Chinch bugs can cause extensive damage to your lawn, because they use piercing mouth parts to suck sap and inject toxins into the crowns and stems of grass plants. Because chinch bugs can fly, they also can be very difficult to prevent. Mid-summer through early fall is when your landscape is most at risk for damage from chinch bugs. Dry conditions promote the spread of chinch bugs and make the damage more noticeable.
Identification and Control of Chinch Bugs
The key to quality insect control is to inspect your lawn regularly in order to identify and treat unwanted chinch bug populations early on. Adult chinch bugs are about the same size as a sesame seed - approximately 1/5” in length - and have flat black bodies with black and white wings. Your lawn care specialist may recommend a program that integrates both curative chinch bug treatments and preventive measures in order to maintain maximum pest control in your lawn. Usually, the best timing for chinch bug control treatments is in early June. The lawn care specialists at SavaLawn, the lawn care division of SavATree, can accommodate your personal preferences to address chinch bug infestations.
