“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.”

“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.”

Winter Storm Wreaks Havoc on Trees Throughout East Coast...SavATree is on the Scene
Bedford Hills, NY. December 27, 2010. A fierce winter storm menaced the East Coast Monday. Blizzard-strength winds of up to 50 mph along with heavy snow knocked down trees in many neighborhoods. Thankfully, SavATree is here to help.
SavATree's certified arborists and tree care experts have been busy aiding residents from Virginia to Massachusetts recover by removing down trees, limbs and branches.
During a storm of this magnitude, the greatest threat to people, homes and automobiles are unsafe trees. Weak and unhealthy branches can't support the weight of heavy, wet snow and they give out. Wind poses an added threat. Strong gusts weaken already stressed branches and roots causing them to topple.
What to do if tree damage does occur.
"The knee-jerk reaction of many is to say, 'I don't want to risk
future damage, just cut down all of my trees' but that's not the
right solution," said Daniel van Starrenburg, President of SavATree.
"Through sound arboricultural practices, risk can be reduced and we
can live in harmony with these living assets."
If a tree has sustained only minor damage, such as injury to small branches, it's likely that little or no permanent damage will result — but pruning is recommended to help restore the tree's aesthetic appeal.
For more severe damage, such as large broken branches, split crotches, broken bark, and splitting or splintering of the trunk, a certified arborist should be consulted. Only a certified arborist can appropritetly assess the damage and determine whether the tree can be saved. If the tree is diagnosed as unsafe, the arborist can facilitate its safe removal.
