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.”

“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.”

“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.”

While your trees, shrubs and garden are thriving, a poor-looking lawn can drag down the appearance of your whole landscape! However, don't despair, in some cases, you can renovate or repair your lawn without taking the drastic plunge of tilling and starting over.
Core Aeration Corrects Compaction
Lawn areas that receive heavy traffic or are used as a playground get pounded, and that means the soil get compacted. The best way to remedy soil compaction is a practice known as core aeration. In core aeration, little cores of soil are removed from the ground to allow water and air into the soil to help grass roots compete with weeds that can thrive in compacted soil. An area of your lawn that receives a moderate amount of traffic should be core aerated annually. If the soil is extremely compacted, you may need to have your lawn aerated twice in one year.
Overseed with Pest Resistant Grasses
Once your lawn has received a core aeration treatment, it is a good idea to overseed the area with pest resistant grasses. These grasses are known as endophyte-enhanced grasses, which means that they contain endophytes - fungi that produce toxins that kill many grass-eating insects. Initially discovered because they made livestock (who consumed mass quantities) sick, endophytic grasses are obviously for lawns only - not for pasture. These cultivars not only escape damage of major pests such as chinch bugs, billbugs, and sod webworms, but also are more tolerant of cultural stresses such as drought. Therefore, your lawn will require less maintenance.
If you prefer the look of more traditional grasses, choose from the many varieties which have been cultivated to be more tolerant of stress.
