Why did you become an arborist?

"My interest in trees began as a young child due to my love of the outdoors and being the son of a first-generation arborist. With a passion for trees, I wanted a career that I would love and would offer me the opportunity to continue to learn throughout my life, no matter where I lived. I feel that life without trees is impossible and a day without seeing one is unimaginable. Therefore, I take great pride and joy in helping a third – generation arborist learn the beauty and benefits of arboriculture."

Customer Service Philosophy:

"My goal is to be the best I can be to people in caring for their trees. By asking, listening, and being honest with people I can help them with their landscape concerns and hopefully preserve one of our most vital and imperiled inhabitants."

Personal:

I feel very blessed for the love and support of family through my life and the ability to work outdoors and see its natural beauty. While life is not always easy to live, the opportunity to do so is a blessing beyond understanding.

I try to keep In mind the following words and their true meaning:

“ A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as hopeless” - U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, Arbor Day 1907

“ We all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal” – U.S. President John F. Kennedy – Commencement Address June 1963

“What does the Lord require of thee, to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God” – Micah 6:8

They did a great job of taking down two of the trees along our driveway. They were very careful and cleaned up after themselves. I would recommend them to anyone looking for professional arborists.

Everyone who worked with us was professional and efficient. Jeanette was helpful in explaining the billing, Devin was knowledgeable and forthcoming in assessing the trees and explaining what needed to be done. The crew was right on time and did a tremendous job pruning and cabling the trees and cleaning up.

I had put off work on my beloved cherry tree for a long while. When I finally contacted SavATree about a consultation I was introduced to Gabe Dour, an enthusiastic young man with an impressive background taking care of trees. I liked him immediately as he seemed to understand exactly what I wanted. He and the scheduler Charlene really went out of their way to fit the work in at the time I...

Eduardo from Savatree stopped by for pre-emergent treatment. Eduardo is always courteous and professional. Our yard has never looked better! Goldsteins are very happy with the discovery of this service!

Our experience with SAVATREE was fantastic from start to finish. Roy the arborist, came out and provided excellent education and recommendations for not just the tree trimming we asked about but our foreseeable backyard and tree future. Cory Pleasant and Crew 3 came in and executed Roy’s plan exactly how he described it. They did a great job, didn’t bump the house or any of the backyard...

Good evening: This is to report the excellent work that your workers did for us in the removal of two trees. They were right on time. As they proceed to do the work we realized the dangerous work that it can be, but your people are truly professional workers. The knowledge and understanding of what they are doing is really something to be commendable. Their ability to details and their...

Marie,Steven,Brandon and Mark were very professional,polite, and great since of humor. They came back to add another set of lights to fill in the empty space. This tree brought so much joy to all who saw it. I would highly recommend this team to anyone wanting there 35 foot tree lit for any occasion. If they had asked we would have been happy to let them place a sign to let the community know...

Great experience with SavATree. Had one large maple removed this week and one trimmed. Worked with Jason L on the sales end and Andrew S cutting. Jason was very quick to respond to my calls/emails with any questions I had. Andrew and his crew were very professional and worked efficiently. They did a great job cleaning up after the work was completed. My yard and driveway were spotless...

We have only hired someone to prune our trees once and it was not a good experience (it was Moon Valley Nursery and arborists don’t think highly of them). After the bad experience (and losing our 12 year old plum), I decided when we needed service again I’d get recommendations from a local arborist group on Facebook, and SavATree was recommended as well as a few others. I reached out to three...
