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
Southampton, NY
“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.”
Debbie Durkin

“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
Katonah, NY
"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.”

Emerald Ash Borer in Illinois
The
next time you walk through your neighborhood, take note of the ash
trees you see. They are popular shade trees that comprise
approximately 20% of our urban forest. Due to the arrival of the
emerald ash borer — an invasive insect native to Asia — each one of those
ash trees is in danger.
Adult emerald ash borers (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) move quickly and the larvae eat ravenously. Tens of millions of ash trees have been lost in Michigan alone (where the borer was first discovered in 2002); millions of additional trees have been lost in the wake of the borer's spread into Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Facts about Emerald Ash Borer:
- EAB attack all ash trees, regardless of the tree's health.
- Adults are small — 1/2" long, 1/8" wide — metallic green beetles.
- Larvae chew S-shaped galleries beneath the bark,
cutting-off the flow of water and nutrients through the tree's
vascular system.
Visible Signs and Symptoms of an Infestation:
- Canopy dieback and suckers sprouting from the tree's trunk
- 1/8" diameter D-shaped exit holes in the tree's trunk and upper branches
- Loose bark and vertical splitting of the bark
- Bark damage caused by woodpeckers
Since the
Illinois Department of Agriculture announced the discovery of
emerald ash borer in Kane County on June 13, 2006, surveys have
revealed infestations throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. As a
result, all northeastern Illinois counties are under a
state-instituted EAB quarantine and a statewide quarantine was
established by the USDA Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service.
The long-term forecast for Illinois' ash trees is not
promising; however, there are ways you can protect your ash trees
from EAB.
