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
Silver Spring, MD
“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
Rye, NY
“It is always a pleasure working with SavATree as your company provides the best plant, tree and lawn health care that we have experienced at the Ives. 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.”

Selling Your Home? Renovating? Fixing Up? Tree Care Tips for Maximum Curb Appeal
Looking for some ways to keep your trees, shrubs and lawn healthy while you make the most of the warm weather months? It's all about curb appeal! Whether you are thinking of selling your home, or just want to give it a "lift", here are some landscape and tree care tips to improve your property's first impression:
Home Selling Ideas:
Green Up - Nothing sets the tone like a lush, green lawn! Begin early with a program of feeding, regular mowing and lots of water.
Color Up - Flowering trees, overflowing planters and well-tended flower beds create visual interest and a sense that the property is loved
Lift Up - Pruning and thinning of shrubs and ornamentals reveals the home by creating balance between plants and buildings. Keeping foundation shrubs away from windows improves the view too!
Check Up - Examining trees for hazardous limbs can prevent serious injury to people and property. Dead branches, as well as those that are too close to the house or impede sidewalks, should be removed. Feeling safe is often overlooked when considering curb appeal.
Clean Up - Removing dead trees, shrubs, fallen branches and remaining tree stumps improves the appearance of the property and removes nesting grounds for mosquitoes and deer ticks.
Home Renovation Ideas:
Construction Protection - In order to ensure that all the necessary steps are being taken to protect your trees and shrubs during construction, consult your arborist and follow these guidelines.
Step 1: Review and establish objectives.
Step 2: Inventory existing trees and identify those trees, ornamentals and shrubs of high aesthetic or economic value.
Step 3: Review site plan. Schedule a meeting that includes the property owner, a certified arborist, and the site engineer or architect to determine potential impact on existing vegetation. Determine which trees and shrubs can realistically be preserved or which ones can be transplanted.
Step 4: Design and implement a program to improve the health and structure of the trees to be preserved.
Step 5: Establish tree root zones to keep construction activity away from trees and minimize site work impact.
Step 6: Review the moisture management options and soil compaction issues. Implement appropriate remediation or prevention methods.
Step 7: Monitor tree response to treatment and site activity impact. Review results with property owner and other designated personnel.
Step 8: Upon completion, review any additions to or deletions from new landscape and implement a nutrient program to optimize health of new and existing plant material.
