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.”
Joan Kleinbard

Always professional, courteous and responsive to our needs, SavATree’s services have provided our employees and patrons with pleasant outdoor experiences in an insect free environment for several years.”

“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.”

Lawn Care: Grass Seeds Are Not Created Equal
Choosing the right grass seed is important in establishing a new lawn or renovating and existing one. Before you purchase seed at your favorite garden store, you will want to take note of the environmental and human conditions that will impact the success of your lawn care. A number of factors such as sun and shade, soil conditions, traffic levels and competing landscape plantings should dictate which types of grass to plant.
Furthermore, grass seeds have varying characteristics such as color, texture, disease resistance, winter hardiness and wear tolerance which will influence where they should be planted. If planting seeds is not something you'd like to do yourself, be sure to ask your lawn care specialist about SavATree / SavaLawn's slice seeding service.
If you decide to plant the grass seeds on your own, be sure to inform your lawn care specialist so that the appropriate adjustments can be made to your program. Once you arrive at the garden store you will need to carefully read the label of each package to understand what's inside. The label will identify the percentage of each variety (there are hundreds of varieties for each grass seed type). Also, look at the percentages of weed and crop. Both should be near or at 0%. Purchase the grass mixture(s) which contain the types of grass seed needed to address the needs of your lawn. The most expensive grass seed usually contains the newest and best varieties of grass. Use the chart below to help you choose the right seed.
