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.”

“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.”

Facts About Lyme Disease
The following was provided to us by Dr. Warren M. Levin, MD, PLLC — an expert on Lyme Disease.
If you have been bitten by a tick, have the Erythema Migrans (EM) rash — also referred to as a bull's eye or Lyme rash — or if you have any of the following non-inclusive symptoms, it could be Lyme disease. Symptoms include: flu-like headache, fatigue, fever,
muscle aches and stiff neck, hot flashes or
night sweats, sore throat, swollen glands, joint pain or
swelling, nausea, problems with sleeping, chills, weakness or
paralysis of limbs, loss of reflexes, tingling sensations or
numbness of the extremities, meningitis, change in smell and/or
taste, difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking, facial
paralysis, dizziness, inability to turn head, light or sound
sensitivity, change in hearing, memory problems, difficulty in
word finding, confusion, decreased concentration, problems with
numbers, behavioral changes such as depression or other
personality changes, unexplained panic attacks, disorientation,
hallucinations, obsessive behavior, paranoia, dementia, eating
disorders, irregular heartbeats or thoughts of suicide Dr. Warren M. Levin, having had Lyme disease himself states, "I
had no bite mark or EM rash. I started out with sudden profound
fatigue. I treated it the way I was told — four weeks of antibiotics — and I got better. A year later though, I was sick again
with what I assumed was a relapse. At the time, I thought I had
gotten another bite. I spoke with a local physician, a member of
International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS).
He told me that I had to be treated longer and with IV antibiotics.
Once again, I got better. At this time, I don't know if I am cured — because we have no way tell this."
Discovered in 1974 in Lyme, Connecticut, it is a bacterial infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdoferi (Bb). The ticks that transmit the bacteria in North America include the Western black-legged (Ixodes pacificus) and the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) and the Taiga tick (Ixodes persulcatus) are responsible for transmitting the disease elsewhere. Needless to say, Lyme disease is a world-wide concern.
Is it Lyme Disease?
Dr. Levin concludes,
"Early treatment is short and effective, but unlike most other
infections, long term immunity is not guaranteed after recovery or
immunization, and It is impossible (outside of a very few research
facilities) to differentiate a new infection from a recurrence of an
old one that has been "hiding" or "dormant" in the body after
treatment which has been stopped too soon. Knowing when to stop is
often more difficult than making the diagnosis."
Warren M.
Levin, MD has been treating Lyme disease since the mid 90's and is
an active member of ILADS.
