Why did you become an arborist?

"I grew up on Minnesota’s North Shore, surrounded by dense forests and big trees. From a young age, when my father owned a tree business, I was drawn to the challenge of safely removing trees, especially the tough ones near homes or power lines. Becoming an arborist let me turn that interest into a life-long career. It’s satisfying to solve each job safely and efficiently."

Customer Service Philosophy:

"Between seasonally bartending and arboriculture sales I shaped my customer service skills to be an active listener with an open heart. If a customer has a problem, I make it my problem until the worries and issues are resolved."

Roots in the Local Community:

"I love to be the dependable guy friends and strangers can call up anytime and if I don't have an answer, I will find one."

Personal/Fun Fact:

"I am classic northern Minnesotan. fishing, hunting, and time at lake whenever i have free time. Ice fishing is a family favorite."

What are Andy's clients saying?

We got a little note in the mailbox probably a year ago thanking us for business. This was from the previous owners using them, but we needed some trees taken care of so I thought I'd give them a shot. Andy was great to work with, got the quote to me incredibly fast and got me on the schedule very quickly even though it was starting to come in to summer. The guys came out, did a great job and had it done in a couple hours. They left our yard very clean. I will continue doing business with them. They are grateful for their community with their thank you cards, and do great work at a reasonable cost! -Sabrina W.

Thanks to Emerald Ash Borer, I had two dead ash trees in my yard that needed to be removed. I contacted Spring Lake Park SavATree for the job and they did awesome work! The tree removal crew was courteous and respectful. They made sure to put plywood down on the lawn so it wasn’t torn up during the removal process. They also cleaned up really well not leaving any debris for me to deal with. A...

Last week our Homeowners Association organized a routine tree pruning using SavATree service. I don't usually give the feedback because our home is part of an association and I don't personally hire this service. But this time I would like to thank the very friendly team for their ability to get the job quickly and effectively. Also special thanks to the project manager and arborist Jane for...

We have had SavATree for approximately 5 years. Terry Paterson, arborist, is our contact. I am on a board of an HOA in Oakdale, MN and I am individually, sharing my experience with SavATree, I am not speaking for the Board. One thing I found out what is so important, you have to cultivate a good working relationship with your contractor i.e, open communication, the needs and wants of the HOA,...
