What are grubs and how do they damage my lawn?

Grubs are damaging insects that feed on grass roots and undermine healthy landscapes. They can attract skunks and other animals that tear up your lawn while searching for grubs to feed on.

Yes, we provide customized landscape care, risk assessments, and consulting for commercial properties to enhance curb appeal, protect value, and ensure safety.

What is your philosophy regarding environmental sustainability?

We’re reducing our carbon footprint through operational improvements and hybrid/organic programs, and our Consulting Group supports large-scale environmental projects at all levels. Our product selection is guided by agroscience and a three-tiered protocol to ensure environmental safety, efficacy, and cost. All our regulated ingredients are EPA-approved.

What makes SavATree's insect and grub treatments effective?

Our specialists inspect turf regularly to spot unwanted insect populations early, then recommend effective management programs that integrate both curative treatments and preventive measures, all carefully timed to the seasonal life cycles of the insects.

Are SavATree's grub control products environmentally responsible?

Yes, we consult the Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) from Cornell University when selecting materials, which shows us the environmental and health impacts of available products so we can make responsible choices for your lawn's health.

Can SavATree prevent future grub infestations?

Our lawn specialists develop comprehensive lawn care programs that include insect and grub management to help prevent future infestations, using a proactive approach to identify and correct problems early.

What is SavATree's approach to lawn insect management?

Tree came crashing down on my house. Andrew's team showed up the next morning with a crane and got the tree off the house in a few hours.. They knew how nervous I was about the lifting the tree over the house. They made it an easy process and cleaned everything up before they left. I would recommend them to anyone that has a tree issue or just needs a review of their trees. Andrew is an...

We had SavATree come out to trim our 2 Cherry and 1 Apple tree that had dead and over grown parts. Chris and Landon were so helpful and went above and beyond with the requests that we had. We asked for the large parts of the tree to be put on the side for fire wood and they cut the wood into small pieces for us all on their own to make it easier for the fire pit. They came on time, worked...

Andy and the SavATree team did a great job! They arrived on time and completed the work outlined in the proposal to a high standard. When it was later noticed that one part of the project had been overlooked, they were quick to send a team back out to fix the issue and ensure customer satisfaction. I'd be happy to use them again.

Olivia at SavATree was terrific. Her skillful in-person consultation was knowledgeable, detailed, professional and her proposal was prompt, easy to read, and accurate. I got four quotes. SavATree was a bit more expensive than the competitors but Olivia was the differentiator in the consultation/sales process. Before the day of service, Olivia came out a week before and put out "no parking"...

Andy and his team did a great job trimming the dead wood from the oak trees in my yard. I would definitely use them again.

Oswaldo was timely, thoroughly, and professional. He applied fertilizer and treatment for pest on a large tree. He showed excellent customer service by explaining what he was doing. I hope he returns next time to do the roots treatment on the old tree.

The quality of work this company provides cannot be overstated. Having Keith L., a certified arborist, to consult with prior to making any decisions was invaluable. Then to have three of the nicest, most professional individuals show up to do the work was an added bonus. Pencho, Edwin, and Junior worked together like a well-oiled machine. Junior, the crew leader, is phenomenally skilled at...

This is the second time we have hired Sussex Tree for tree removal. They came out quickly to give us an estimate after the big snow storm and their price was fair. We got on the schedule very quickly. Asa and his crew were polite, professional and had all the proper equipment on hand to ensure things were safe and our property was undamaged. They did a great job cleaning up afterwards too!

Quick response to request for estimate with timely follow up. Upon acceptance of estimate the work was done soon after. The day the work was done it rained but work crew completed trimming and cleanup. Everything was to our satisfaction from Corey (arborist) to the work crew and follow up we couldn’t be more satisfied. Will use again if needs arise
