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.”

"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.”

SavATree Consulting Group: In the Field
Vassar College
Comprehensive Risk Management
The Background: During a severe weather event on the campus of Vassar College a single, large pine that had been inspected the year before twisted and broke at the base as a result of high winds. The tree fell onto the roof of a nearby historic building causing considerable damage. This event spurred Vassar to be more aggressive with their tree assessment program. Working with a consultant they developed an RFP for tree assessment on their 500 acre campus and invited a number of tree care companies to submit proposals for assessing their trees. They received a wide range of costs but SavATree was the only company willing to offer a proposal to their specifications.

Testing & Analysis: Working closely with Vassar personnel, the SavATree Consulting Group utilized top of the line equipment to collect 49 pieces of data on 1,651 trees with accuracy and efficiency. The Consulting Group then delineated 10 zones, ranking trees in these zones according to condition. After determining that 5% of Vassar’s trees were at risk, the Consulting Group developed a scheme to address a zone or two each season with the caveat that highly hazardous trees would take priority even if in a zone not being addressed at the time.
Results: By managing risk as a whole, the Consulting Group was able to develop tree management strategies that reduced the average per unit cost for tree pruning, cabling, bracing and removal by 66%. Overall, the work done for Vassar has achieved great success in managing both the safety and aesthetics of Vassar’s campus trees.
