Maintaining Environmental Integrity

Cultural Practices-The Foundation of Plant Health

We have always encouraged using the least intrusive systems, while balancing our client’s individual needs and preferences. On this road to greenness, make sure not to overlook the essential implementation of cultural practices. Proper pruning, watering, seeding, aeration and selecting the right plant for the right location help build a strong foundation and maintain plant health. Many conditions that affect trees, plants and turf can be remedied through cultural practices, such as pruning a diseased limb or aerating compacted soil. If the condition poses no threat to the plant, no treatment may be required.

In addition, if you have a sophisticated or complex collection of species, our proactive scouting and treatment program, Arbor Patrol®, provides regularly scheduled review of property conditions by our qualified specialists. Arbor Patrol® helps identify and treat conditions before they exacerbate. Our services are environmentally sensitive, utilizing the latest solutions and enhancements to improve plant health and longevity.

Eco-Friendly Ingredients

At SavATree we regularly evaluate new products and carefully select the ingredients used in our programs to be the most effective and eco-friendly available. Our programs combine the latest in organic, naturally derived, biological and synthetic compounds working together to promote microbial activity in the soil, improve root systems, facilitate nutrient uptake, and protect your plants from insects, mites and diseases.

When curative or preventative treatments are necessary in order to maintain optimum plant health and vitality, we prescribe the most effective and holistic solutions. These include products like:

  • Horticultural oils
  • Conserve, made from a naturally occurring bacteria in the soil—for controlling pests like winter moth and caterpillars
  • Garlic Guard, made from 100% garlic juice used to control mosquitoes
  • ArborKelp®, our natural seaweed biostimulant used to stimulate root growth and help plants deal better with stress

We also commit to never using organophosphates. Our organic program uses materials that have been reviewed by the Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI), a non-profit organization that reviews substances for use in organic production, under the auspices of the USDA National Organic Program Standards, as well as ingredients allowed by the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA), consistent with organic land care practices.

Arboricultural Expertise

Upholding high environmental standards involves intimate knowledge of complex relationships existing amongst plants, animals and people within a landscape. Our arboricultural teams are dedicated professionals, who receive continuous education, instruction and certification in the latest techniques and newest equipment used to protect the health of your trees, shrubs and turf.

State-of-the-Art Equipment and Technology

By adopting the latest techniques, ramping up technology and developing custom equipment, we are able to provide the best quality care for every landscape. Having the right tool for the right job allows us to spot treat for specific issues and make adjustments according to current landscape conditions. All the equipment we use is designed with safety, efficiency and the long term health of your trees and plants in mind. A key component to properly servicing our clients is to provide optimal timing of services, as many landscape conditions have a small window of opportunity for treatment to be effective. Making a major investment in state-of-the art centralized routing software ensures optimal timing and fuel conservation while maintaining a precise history of services performed on each property.

Resources and Commitment

It takes expanded resources to build a company based on a strong commitment to the environment. You need custom equipment, new products, testing, the latest technology and of course, highly skilled professionals. As one of the top three companies in the country, with 23 local offices, we have the resources and skill to provide our clients with custom green choices consistent with their green position.

  • "I didn't get a chance to tell you how wonderful the SavATree experience was at my home last week. As we went tree to tree that was trimmed, we admired the individual artistry and care that was applied to each tree and realized that it was 'exactly the amount' needed to be trimmed. My neighbor also raved about the professionalism of your crew, and how polite and considerate they were. Thank you!"

  • I am happy with the work provided on March 26, and was especially happy with the professionalism of the crew and the crew leader's willingness to talk to me and explain and answer various questions I had.

  • "It is always my pleasure to recommend SavATree to anyone who wishes to provide the absolute best arbor care for all plant material on their property. I have worked with many different arborists, but SavATree has the finest, the most experienced highest quality arborists that I have ever come across. Their teams are made up of individuals who are always reliable, honest, conscientious, hard working, and pay attention to details. When it comes to tree pruning, take downs, vista clearing, orchard or garden maintenance, SavATree does it all, and they do it very, very well."

  • "Just a note to let you know we very satisfied with the work your company did clearing trees, pruning, and cleaning our property. My wife and I especially appreciated the ease with which you worked with us, and your cooperation, particularly when we were uncertain as to the trees that should be trimmed and how they would look when all was done. Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and expertise."

    Anthony DeAngelis

  • "Five or six years ago, I wrote you a note singing the praises of my then arborist, Richard Eaton. I was sorry to see him go…For the past several years, Brad Gurr has been our arborist. I'm very happy to tell you that Brad takes just as good care of our trees as Richard did, and he, like Richard is a gracious and generous teacher, who goes out of his way to make sure that the trees on our property are healthy and well-groomed, if one can call a tree well-groomed! Warm regards…and thanks again for creating a company that's offered us so much."

  • "Efficient, high quality, professional competence -- all at a competetive 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."

  • SavATree has been providing Edina Country Club’s tree maintenance and removal service since 2009. They have provided exemplary service that has always been professional, timely, and most importantly doing it in a safe manner. The work that has been completed on the course has allowed us to highlight some tremendous specimen trees by means of removal and pruning of our tree population as the club undertook a massive course restoration project in 2010. Managing the tree population has been a key ingredient to the success of that project. They have also been a great source in helping preserve our American Elm population by means of fungicide injections for our 50+ Elms left on site. I look forward to them being a partner with the club for years to come.

  • "Just a quick note to thank you for helping us out these past several weeks. Your team that came to clear the fallen trees and remove the 2 White Pines was skilled, efficient and very polite. And your Stump Grinding Specialist who came in the pouring rain yesterday did an amazing job of removing those huge roots and stumps. Most of all, Tim, we appreciate how professional you've been throughout this whole process. We appreciate your advice on the removal of our trees, your expertise on suggestions for appropriate trees to plant in the empty spaces, and your follow-up in ensuring that the job was completed in time for the new trees planted today. Cryptomeria look great! Without a doubt, we will call again and recommend you and SavATree for future needs. "

  • "This past Saturday night about 8 P.M. during that terrible rain/wind storm, there was some excitement in my neighborhood. A huge, old, double oak tree split and came crashing down in my next door neighbor's driveway falling on their cars and also brought down the power and phone lines. The Wyckoff police were very responsive and advised my neighbors that they could not go back into their house so they stayed with me. They were very shaken and still traumatized at the wrath of Mother Nature. On Sunday, I was given Brian Brunsch's number at SavATree. He was in the Poconos for the weekend and he came back to Wyckoff to assess the damage. I must say that my neighbor did call at least 4 other places and was only able to leave messages. Brian responded right away. His crew did the best they could to shore up the rest of the tree so that my neighbors would be protected from it falling anymore. They felt reassured and safe now. On Monday morning, his crew came to finish the job and what a job it was! They did meticulous work. With the exception of the stump still remaining for insurance evaluation, it doesn't look like anything happened. A lesson that was learned is to have your trees monitored by a tree expert and SavATree is the company to call."

  • "After four different unsatisfactory visits with so-called arborists, I found SavaTree...When I first called for a consultation for trees on my property I was most impressed with the professionalism of David and his colleagues. They were most knowledgeable, fair with their assessment about what needed to be done with the trees on my lot, yet very attuned with what my concerns and my most recent unacceptable experiences with another contractor. I highly recommend David Wesley and his crew without any hesitation. In a field where there is an abundance of folks looking to take advantage of consumers with many trees on their lot, SavaTree, David and crew strike me as incredibly honest and proud arborists which do a fantastic job. Thanks for a job well done. I look forward to continuing my relationship with SavaTree and David."

  • "What touched me were the cooperative spirit and the energy and enthusiasm of the people at SavATree. There are so many institutions that are worthy of some kind of an altruistic spirit, and for our school to be selected for an Arbor Day activity is an honor. More then that, Steve Skyer and the people he works with spent a whole day with us. SavATree went out on a limb to plant and root a future for our school."

  • "Many, many thanks for the work you did at Updike Farm. The care you showed our fruit trees, maples, and ornamental cherries will offer them a chance to recover from years of neglect.

They were extremely neat and professional, making sure that everything was they way they found it. I could not be more satisfied. I definitely plan on using your company for any future tree work on my property, and will also heartily recommend you to anyone I know needing your services."

  • "On behalf of the Township of Maplewood, I would like to take this opportunity to thank SavATree and especially your arborist, Lorainne, for the wonderful care that you are giving to the Township tree. The pruning that was performed by your arborists helped provide a much safer environment for pedestrians and vehicles in an extremely busy area. The work was carried out in a most professional manner with the utmost care."

  • "Absolutely one of the best in the business. We had to have our front tree taken down. The crew did a terrific job in the remove process. They left the site so clean that it was hard to tell they were there; except for the missing tree. Later this year the stump will be ground out and in the spring they will be replanting a new tree. One of the best companies I have done business with in years. The customer service as well as all the employees exceed all expectations. Well Done!!!!"

    James E. Sorrell

  • "Thank you for coming to our home yesterday to give us an evaluation on some of our trees, bushes and lawn. You always educate us how to improve our landscape endeavors. We also want to let you know how pleased we are with the improvement on our lawn after just on year of service. It was looking pretty pitiful this time last year. Thanks again for coming over. We were educated about our yard and got to talk about Lacrosse (the good ole' days)."

  • "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. I attribute this excellent service chiefly to my arborist, Scot Boyce. Scot has always replied promptly to my phone inquiries and given me sound advice, but today he won me for life as a SavATree customer. I asked him to come look at a Japanese maple that was shading my terrace and discuss pruning it, but when he saw how beautiful it was he advised me to move my lawn chair from time to time and leave the noble tree alone- a loss of immediate business for your company, but a long term investment in customer loyalty."

  • "The Pleasantville Country Club has had the benefit of SavATree's tree care services for more than ten years. Our experience with SavATree has been a very good one. We have found the staff to be very knowledgeable in all aspects of tree and shrub care. Equally impressive has been the reliability and enthusiasm of the staff members we have dealt with through the years."

  • It is with pleasure that I can comment on the work done recently by your great work crew. As they are representatives of your company, you are very fortunate to have such a polite, professional, and exceptionally safe work crew. Work conditions don't allow for conversation, and in spite of that, they were able to communicate via hand and eye signals that enabled them to work in a highly efficient manner. Their appearance, manners and excellent equipment, make for a winning combination.

  • "Allan Fenner came to my property in early July to review the scope of work for the project. He gave me a mental vision of what the finished product would look like in enough detail that any novice could comprehend. During the day of the pruning, he came to the site a couple of times to offer further explanation of what the tree climbers were doing at the time and what was to follow. They were all very polite and the clean-up in front and back was meticulous . They are most competent in what they do and it is quite obvious that they truly enjoy their work. The finished product was even more outstanding than I first imagined. My neighbors and I thought my back yard looked so refreshed, it looked like someone else's property! Finally, Allan's courteous follow-up by phone was most appreciated."

  • "Alan and crew did a tremendous job at our house in Windsor yesterday, Monday, Sept. 28. With great skill they removed two large trees, trimmed another tree plus doing three other smaller projects. One of the trees was a significant challenge with a split in the trunk and branches extending over busy Windsor Avenue. Alan engineered the project with with careful attention to safety. I appreciated his friendly helpful manner throughout the day and his willingness to accommodate us with an additional request. At the end of the day I asked them if they always worked this hard! They acted as if this was just a normal day for them. We have lots of pictures of the day's activity if you want them. Our thanks to them for a job well done."

  • "Speaking as Mayor of Briarcliff Manor, SavATree has contributed time to help protect some Hemlocks in our Law Park, which is really the showplace of our Village. They have also provided advice for the care of some of our sensitive park trees) i.e. a stand of Japanese Black Pine in a park jutting out in the Hudson River), and care of damaged trees along some of our roads. I wanted to bring this to your attention and thank SavATree for their efforts and contribution to improving the quality of life in our village. The Friends of Rockwood Park, the Rockefeller State Park and the public are indebted to SavATree for the time and effort it has contributed to rescuing these beautiful, valuable and very special trees."

  • "We always have a quick note of info after every treatment and even more important to us, [SavATree] always mentions our dogs. This is because we've requested no weed [treatment] on their fenced in area and [SavATree] assures us of this when such applications are made...And in addition to that, our lawn looks great! Thank you for your great service."

I know that pricing is important, and your company is very competitive in the market here, but it's the people that really make it work."

  • "I want to commend you and your associates for the great work and the great attitude shown on my job. They were on time, friendly, professional and caring about doing the job right. As I was driving around my neighborhood I noticed how many different tree companies were at work over the past several days. They ranged from guys in a pickup with a chain saw to companies with their names on lots of expensive equipment to pay for. I also took time to look at the people who were working for those companies and using the equipment. I know it is not fair to judge a book by its cover, but I could not help thinking that I could have chosen any of their names at random from the phonebook. I am so happy that I happened to choose the best - SavATree. I will not hesitate to recommend you and to your company to anyone I meet who is considering tree work. I know they will thank me."

Beginning with the initial phone contact with the office manager. She was always pleasant and professional during each of my numerous calls. [The arborist] who came to provide an assessment and initial estimate, understood the tree services we needed and was very thorough and knowledgeable. Additionally, the professionals who performed the tree services were diligent, efficient and friendly. These professionals are hard working and are excellent in performing tree services.
