“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.”
J. Andersen

“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.”

Accolades to Steve:
"I have known Steve Schilling for many years. As soon as he took over our account I knew that he would always cheerfully seek to understand our issues/problems. He has always demonstrated a broad knowledge base which he readily shares with us. Steve truly cares about our property. I have never felt that he was just trying to sell us services. Rather, he takes pride in supporting us in caring for our property. Over the last number of years we have suffered considerably from storm damage. We lost many trees as a result of the microburst. Steve immediately responded to our plea for help. He orchestrated our clean-up flawlessly, always keeping us up to date
on when services would be completed. If there was a change
necessitated, he always let us know and explained why. This past
spring during a severe wind and rain storm a huge old oak whose
canopy spread over our whole house was compromised - leaning
precariously toward our home. In the morning I did not even need to
call Steve. He was already in front of my house concerned that we
might have had a problem with this huge old tree. He then flawlessly
executed the tree's safe removal - first bringing in a bucket truck
to try and lighten the canopy and tying the tree off to many of our
neighbor's trees. Then finally he arranged for a crane to come and
safely remove the tree. Throughout Steve demonstrated a deep concern
for our safety, our home and his team. This situation could have
easily resulted in loss of life and our home being crushed. We are
forever grateful that Steve was on hand.
As a result of
Steve's knowledge and manner of conducting business, I can assure
you we will always be loyal customers and I will continue (as I have
done on numerous occasions) to recommend SavATree, in particular
Steve, to my friends, neighbors and clients!
Your company is
fortunate to have such a valuable employee."
