Why did you become an arborist?

"I became an arborist to combine my love for the outdoors and the coastal redwood forests with a career that actively protects and enhances the environment. With a background in people management, I’m able to lead teams in delivering exceptional tree care while sharing my passion for preserving nature with others."

Customer Service Philosophy:

"My customer service philosophy is rooted in integrity and the belief that every client deserves to feel confident and satisfied with the work we provide. I strive to build long-lasting relationships by listening carefully, delivering on promises, and ensuring each experience exceeds expectations."

Roots in the Local Community:

"Born and raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains, I’ve built my career in people management, forestry management, and business development throughout the Santa Clara Valley, giving me a deep connection to the community and its landscape. As a father of four and a lifelong Bay Area resident, I’m dedicated to preserving and growing our urban forest so it continues to thrive for generations to come."

Personal/Fun Fact:

"Fun fact: I’ve been scuba diving since age 12 and have spent much of my life exploring the incredible kelp forests of Monterey Bay."

I’m very pleased with the tree and shrub trimming job done today by “SAVATREE” in San Jose, CA. SavATree followed up two days ago and added an Amber Kelp Nutrient to all of the trees on my property. The provider Antonio did a good job feeding all the trees. Thank you.

They arrived on time and thoroughly cleaned up...

He helped me choose the perfect place to relocate my lemon tree, and gave me advice on root barriers we’ll want to install to protect our foundation. I’m so grateful for his help, and he made himself so...

His recommendations were for far more subtle and detailed work than I got from other companies and with a fair price. The crew was very courteous, knowledgeable, and careful. They did a great job cleaning up. He...
