“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.

“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.”

"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.”

SAVATREE OFFERS TIPS TO HELP HOMEOWNERS PREPARE FOR HURRICANE IRENE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — BEDFORD HILLS, NY--(Marketwire - Aug 24, 2011) - The high winds associated with hurricanes can cause significant property damage in the form of falling trees, tree limbs and flying landscape debris. The key to minimizing your risk against property damage is storm preparedness. There is no such thing as a hurricane-resistant landscape but, with proper care and timely maintenance overseen by a certified arborist, trees can be more resistant to storm damage. The team of certified arborists at SavATree have compiled a few tips to aid in storm damage prevention.
Pruning is Vital to Protection
A strong, deep-rooted tree may not fall during a storm, but weak limbs in the canopy may. Broken, dead and damaged limbs can be torn from trees during a storm and turned into dangerous projectiles.
Trees with dense canopies should be pruned regularly by a professional, especially during hurricane season. Proper pruning removes dead or drying branches which are most susceptible to wind.
Regular pruning during a tree's development should create a sturdy, well-spaced framework of healthy branches with an open canopy that allows air to flow freely through it. It is important for a tree to have a central leader with no narrow forks or branches that leave the trunk at an acute angle. Limb crotches should be between 45 and 90 degrees.
Trees to Watch Out For
- Trees with dense canopies
- Dead or dying trees
- Trees with co-dominant trunks
- New plantings and young trees Consult a certified arborist to see if these, or any other tree hazards, exist around your home.
After the Storm Has Passed
Assess your property for damage and threats. An arborist should be contacted if: you need a chainsaw or ladder to prune away dead, dying or loose branches, power lines are down, you are unsure of the structural stability of a tree, or you do not know if a tree can be saved. In some cases, even a tree that has sustained some damage (defoliated, broken, or blown over) can be treated.
Trees have a much better chance of surviving if they receive proper, routine care. Remember, healthy trees can adjust more quickly to changes in the environment and are more resistant. Therefore, if you are proactive and take the necessary steps before a storm hits, you can reduce your risk of property damage -- saving yourself a great hassle and expense.
