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

“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.”

How well do you know the soil of your landscape? Familiarizing yourself with the texture, structure and fertility of your soil will help you and your lawn care professional design a program specific to your lawn's needs. There are three key measures that indicate the health of your soil: fertility, acidity and compaction.
You can purchase a pH test kit to measure acidity yourself, or arrange for a soil test by your lawn care professional to check the pH (acidity), fertility and compaction. When collecting test soil, five to ten samples from different parts of your lawn should be collected as deep as the roots go into the ground. A soil pH reading above 7 or below 6 will deprive your lawn of the necessary nutrients it needs, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, manganese and calcium, leading to a less healthy, yellowish colored turf. In order to raise soil pH, an application of limestone should be performed. To lower pH, an application containing sulfur is applied. The condition of your soil will dictate the cultural practices of watering and fertilizing. The next time your lawn care professional visits, mention the possibility of receiving a soil test and core aeration. Establishing the proper pH and core aerating annually will improve your lawns nutrient availability by increasing root structure, resulting in a thicker, greener, healthier lawn. It will also save you time and money in the future and help keep your lawn looking great.
