We’ve been working with Save A Tree Lawn Care for two seasons now, and I couldn’t be happier. Brandon is incredibly thorough and consistently respectful of my established garden spaces and bird feeders, which I really appreciate. When we started last year, our yard was overrun with dandelions and creeping Charlie. Now, it’s completely transformed. The grass is healthy, lush, and filling in...

Matt Boyd and his crews removed three trees for me and they did a great job! Matt showed up when he said he would and his crews did as well, for every step of the process. All of the crew members were a pleasure to work with and they did a great job cleaning up the job site. I highly recommend Savatree!

This company exemplifies what exceptional customer service should look like. From start to end, their service was an extremely pleasant experience. The technician, Hope, demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, patience, and technical knowledge. Every question was answered thoroughly and thoughtfully, reinforcing confidence in both the work performed and the people behind it....

SavATree cut down two badly damaged river birch and trimmed up several trees. The work was superb and communication was A+. The bid wasn’t the cheapest but for what they did was worth every penny. I highly recommend them for any tree work needed.

What Is Tree Sap and When To Schedule a Tree Health Inspection?

Post Excerpt:Tree sap is a natural part of a tree's vascular system, carrying water and nutrients between the roots and canopy. But when sap appears on the outside of the tree — dripping, discolored, foul-smelling, or paired with sawdust, wilting leaves, or fungal growth — it can signal insect infestation, disease, or environmental stress. Learn what's normal, what's a warning sign, and when it's time to schedule a tree health inspection with an ISA Certified Arborist®.

Persian Ironwood: Growth, Care, and Landscape Value

Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica) is a slow-growing, four-season standout prized for its red winter flowers, vibrant fall color, and striking exfoliating bark that becomes more beautiful with age. Hardy in USDA zones 5–8, this insect-resistant, low-maintenance tree tolerates urban stress and a range of soil types, though it performs best in acidic conditions. Whether used as a single-trunk shade tree or a multi-stemmed specimen, Persian ironwood adds long-term structure and seasonal interest to any commercial or residential landscape.
