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.”
Martha Stewart

"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.”

Have you ever considered what life would be like without trees? Many civilizations throughout history would not have developed or even survived without the presence of trees. For instance, the American Indians regarded trees as one of their most valuable resources. They mastered an understanding of how the physical characteristics of tree species could be utilized to their best advantage.
From the beginning, trees have been the main raw material out of which the American Indians produced a wide range of items from housewares and modes of transportation to status and ceremonial symbols.
Household Products
The white birch tree was a vital resource for many items used in American Indian life, such as container-like objects called mococks, cooking pots, dishes, and needle cases. The birchbank was cut into a pattern, folded, and sewn together with spruce root so that items like the mococks could hold solids and, when coated, liquids too.
Totem Poles
To most Americans, the totem pole has become the predominant symbol for the northern Indians. The art of totem pole sculpture still flourishes in areas of the Northwest Coast where the exotic animal figures are usually made from the trunk of a cedar tree. Mainly, totem poles are symbols of social, economic and tribal status. Some tribes use totem poles for holding ashes of the deceased while others serve as "shame" poles in order to embarrass a person who does not pay his debts or who broke his word.
Ceremonies: The Sun Dance
One of the major ceremonies among the Sioux, and many other plains peoples, was a ritual called the Sun Dance. This was their way of giving thanks for the generosity of the Great Spirit and asking for its blessing in the year to come. At the center of this twelve-day festival stood the cottonwood tree. The Sioux chose this tree because they believed its leaf resembled a tepee.
Transportation
One of the most triumphant advancements of Indian technology was the idea of the canoe. Transportation and hunting techniques were revolutionized as a result of its development. White cedar wood was best for the framework while hard maple was used to make the paddles. The finishing touch to the canoe was a waterproof resin coating derived from the pine tree.
