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

“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.”

Prevent Tree and Landscape Storm Damage
The condition of your landscape has a significant impact on the value of your home – some estimate upwards of 15%. This means, every strong storm brings with it the chance that a large percentage of your home’s value could be compromised.
Did you know...most trees that fall during a storm could have been identified as hazardous if they had been properly evaluated beforehand?
The best way to protect the value of your home and your arboricultural assets from storm damage is through proper year-round tree care. This will help prevent many avoidable situations, protect your investment and save you the cost and trouble of cleanup and repairs.
Although it’s difficult to protect trees from extreme weather conditions, there are effective precautions you and your arborist can take to minimize the impact.
Seasonal Weather Effects on Trees
Extreme weather conditions can wreak havoc on your trees and shrubs. For example, the combination of hot, dry weather can lead to water loss – depriving a tree of necessary nutrients. Or, freezing, damp conditions, if abruptly following mild weather, can cause significant stress to even the hardiest of species. Although you can’t prevent these conditions from occurring, there are precautions you can take to help safeguard your trees.
The following are a few weather conditions that can seriously impact your trees and tips to help you overcome their affects.
- Lightning: Protection for Trees from Lightning
One of the most dangerous weather conditions threatening trees is lightning. Trees are in fact the most commonly struck targets. Most lightning passes through trees on the way to the ground, because water is a better electrical conductor than air. The water in a tree is concentrated near the cambium just under the bark. As the electricity from the lightning surges through this water, it causes it to boil explosively, blasting off the bark, and sometimes throwing pieces of it a hundred feet or more.
Learn what you can do to protect your trees from the lightning.
- After Effects of a Drought
A lack of rain can cause delicate root hairs, which are responsible for the uptake of moisture and nutrients from the soil, to die off. Without these, when rain finally does come, the tree wont be able to absorb the moisture and nutrients it so desperately needs to flourish. If treated promptly with a biostimulant, such as ArborKelp®, SavATree’s exclusive formula designed to promote root growth and heighten stress tolerance, the damage can be reversed.
Learn what you can do to help your plants survive a drought.
- Weathering Wintered Weather
Wind, rain, snow and ice can break or weaken trees potentially resulting in fallen or broken trees. Large trees, those in excess of 12" in diameter, are most likely to cause property damage, or even serious injury, if they fail so it’s especially important to keep these trees trimmed and maintained.
