Highly recommend this company. They took some trees down for us and trimmed some trees two years ago. They were doing work at a neighbors house this spring and knocked on our door to tell us they noticed we were overcharged for the services performed…2 years ago!!! So impressed with their honesty. They ended up sending us a credit back. Great work, great company, honest people!

Overall, it was a very pleasant and low-pressure experience. We truly...

  • We regularly assess and modernize our fleet to handle any job in and around Grand Rapids, Michigan. The tree's size, location, and condition determine the equipment used.

  • Routine tree assessments and pruning can help prevent storm damage from heavy snow. Your Grand Rapids SavATree arborist can identify weak spots and recommend reducing branch weight or length to minimize risks before storms hit.
