“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.”

“Let me say that Vassar's association with SavATree has been very positive and we are achieving great success in managing our campus trees in terms of safety and aesthetics. And our insurance carrier is quite pleased with this effort. Vassar is pleased with SavATree and the work being performed on campus.”

“Your tree crew (a father and two sons) just finished removing two trees, and pruning another on my property. They were extremely neat and professional, making sure that everything was they way they found it. I could not be more satisfied. I definitely plan on using your company for any future tree work on my property, and will also heartily recommend you to anyone I know needing your services.”

“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.”

How He Became An Arborist:
My industry involvement began in 2002 while living in Greece. I was Assistant Manager in a local nursery’s greenhouse and also working as a planter and maintaining landscapes. In September of 2005, I was hired as a research assistant at Rutgers University. I began conducting research on the sources and effect of organic fertilizers and pesticides on various plants, as well as the benefits of soil inoculation with the fungus Mycorrhiza.
During the summer of 2008, I also worked at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a program technician (internship).
