Professional, prompt, polite, great communication and excellent work. All the things you want in a service contractor. I'm pretty hard to please these days, but I'm pleased with Sav-a-tree. Second time I've used them, and my neighbors all use them.

When I first called about a fallen tree, the manager rushed over to make sure my property was not in any danger. They organized an immediate removal of a HUGE tree in a precarious place. Near a creek and leaning on my house. Within 2 .5 hours after showing up on time their employees were thoroughly cleaning up the whole area. I was super impressed and will not hesitate to call them again. ...

The project was taking down a dead 4' oak tree which was threatening the house. We waited for colder weather so the crane wouldn't damage my neighbor's lawn. Instead it snowed and the project got put off further. SavATree held to their original estimate for 6 months and did a fabulous job at the end. Many Thanks.

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®.

Tree & Shrub Care

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.
