SavATree did an excellent job of trimming my hedges, trees and flower bushes. From the initial contact with the arborist Eric Grow to the office staff to the workers who completed the project everything went seamlessly. I will use them again.

We have relied on SavATree for years. They are responsive to customers and respectful of nature’s gift of trees to our urban and suburban world. This company is not about cutting trees down, rather keeping them alive and thriving, safely, at home. Thank you!

Eric Grow of Savatree found that we had a defective tree. In 1987, a giant tree uprooted. So we wanted this defective tree removed. It was giant and near our house. Eric and his crew headed by Sebastian did a fantastic, safe job. No damage to our house at all. Bravo!!!!!!

Great job by the Savatree team on my tree concerns over the years; Jody gave a bunch of options, quoted and was patient as we made a few inquiries. At the end of the day, sometimes cheaper than others, other times a little more, but they had insurance and provided a lot of consistent work and Jody always double-checks on the work before and after with me to make sure we're happy, sending people back if needed on anything missing. Foreman Tom and worker Willy were superb, quick and safe - cleaned up nicely, too, this time, taking down a tree near wires.

Very nice worker (Jacob Giraldo) from SavATree. And very competent service (Kelp treatment for my dogwoods and cherry blossom trees). He explained the nature of the kelp treatment and its benefits to the trees. Very pleased with this company.

I've had a couple of good experiences with them besides this last year. But I paid a lot of money only to have them fall beyond short of what I hired them for. I told them I wanted stronger grass and to fill up all of the patches I have. Those are the only two goals I'd like completed. They said ok and that I'd have to get the full treatment to see the best results (about 5 months of various treatments). I trusted them and had them work on my lawn for well over a thousand dollars throughout the summer. My grass looks the same, if not worse. I was also told from one of the specialists that the seeding used on my lawn was the wrong type when considering the sunlight exposure. They also barely aerated and seeded the areas that needed it the most. I've voiced my concerns and was told they would help me out, but the last time I spoke to them they didn't offer any remediation. Beyond frustrating. Never using them again and would also recommend a smaller company to hopefully get some better quality control. And after cancelling almost 6 months ago, they still sent someone to my house to fertilize some bushes. If I wasn't home to tell him I cancelled, they would've charged me for this service too.

I am always pleased with the consistent quality & exceptional service I receive from SavATree. My account managers, Jody & Evan have been responsive to my inquiries & at times immediate emergency requests (ie- storm related damage & limb removal) over the years. The crews are equally knowledgeable & work efficiently & with great care. I always learn a lot about tree maintenance & preventive measures that ensure the health of my trees. This well managed plan has resulted in saving several trees. The team is respectful of each member & their contribution. It is a pleasure working with them & I look forward to our continuing collaboration.

We have been with Savatree Northeast for over 20 years. They are an excellent company providing excellent services with very helpful and knowledgable staff. Our property looks so nice and healthy. The recommendations our arborist, Jody Huxter, makes to us are always perfect to what is needed. Recently, we had some of our large trees trimmed and shaped. We do this when Jody recommends it to be done to keep these trees healthy and able to handle severe weather and winds. The 2 tree men as I like to call them were very knowledgable, precise, neat and pleasant. I was not at all worried when one gentleman had to climb the trees to trim tall branches down. I highly recommend their services. Susan Goodman

We had a very large and damaged old Red Oak tree in our small backyard here in South Orange. Ryan was very responsive and sympathetic, as it was a tough decision for us to have the tree taken down. Ultimately, the tree could not be safely saved. His crew did an incredible job in an extremely tight space. Overhead wires, our garage and our neighbor s garage it was an involved removal. We appreciated the crew s efforts in protecting our yard they also did a great job cleaning up after the tree was down.

Jacob G was nice enough to provide his observations and recommendations after the kelp treatment was done for all of the trees on the property.

We recently had arborist Evan Ford s crew of pruners trim the trees and shrubs in our yard. It had been about 18 months since Sav-A-Tree was last at our home. We were very pleased with their work!

Fantastic company. Showed up on time, worked diligently even in this heat. Cleaned up better than before they came and were so polite. I cant say enough about the way they looked after the property.

They spoke to each other through a com system of some sort, and everyone knew what the other was doing. Excellent team, Bravo!!

I contacted SaveATree this spring to have 1 or 2 trees evaluated for pruning. Jody, the arborist, scheduled the appointment with me, he arrived on time and walked my property with me as we discussed several trees and shrubs. Jody did a complete evaluation of my trees and we agreed on appropriate work to be done and cost. The work was scheduled for several weeks later and Jody called to confirm time and date He worked with my neighbors to make sure they were aware of work being done and his crew finished in a couple hours. The work was done as agreed and his crew was very neat and cleaned up all traces of prunings and branches. Jody was very knowledgable and up-front about tree health and recommended work. I highly recommend Jody and SaveATrree if you value your trees.

★★★★★
May 22, 2024

Very happy we were able to secure our 100-foot Tulip with what I now know is a co-dominant stem instead of removing it from the property. Sav-a-tree came in and cabled the tree (and secured a much smaller tree that was leaning against a neighbors fence after a recent storm), and was done faster than I expected. Work I couldnt have done myself, so its great to know there are professionals nearby we can count on.

Ryan is always knowledgable, friendly and professional. A pleasure to work with!

March 22, 2024

Id give less starts if I could. Scheduling SavATree in the first place was a pain. There was no immediate availability and I had to wait nearly 4 days for an arborist to provide an assessment. When Evan did show up, he committed to sending a proposal. After eight days of silence, I followed up and didnt receive a callback. When I called back saying that Id be moving forward with other quotes unless I heard back, Evan finally got back to me, only to say that he couldnt conduct the service or provide a competitive quote. Thanks for wasting my time, referrals to follow...

★★★★★
March 22, 2024

SavATree always takes great care of me, especially when I need service quickly. Jody has been my go-to guy for years and I wouldnt go anywhere else. Their work is always first class and they know what theyre doing, so dont waste time with anyone else for your tree or lawn care needs!

Jody is so quick to respond and wonderful to work with! We had a large tree fall in our backyard during a recent storm and within 24hrs he was on our property to check the damage and came back with his crew a few days later to take the tree away. Amazing customer service!

★★★★★
January 22, 2024

Jody and his crew did a great job trimming a large oak tree + others around our property. The trees look great! He also took the time during the initial consult to teach me about the trees and the different options they have available. We didn t go with everything, nor did he pressure me / up-sell me. Will definitely be working with SavATree again in the future!

Savatree has helped to make my garden a really beautiful place. Ryan applied a fruit tree spray to my cherry and apple trees and for the first time since I planted them 10 years ago, they have produced amazing amounts of delicious fruit.

I had SavATree come by to evaluate a sad looking tree on our property. They recommended removal and even though the tree was very close to the house, they removed it quickly and without a problem. They went above and beyond in helping me navigate the tree remove permit process for my town, and even left behind some cut logs of the old tree at our request. The cedar logs smell great.

Ive trusted Ryan with our tree care needs for six years now, and Im grateful for his expertise.

January 22, 2024

Not happy how they handled the scheduling of the tree service. They took the job, but never gave a service date. I had a long wait and I had to wait 3 months to have the branches be removed. Finally, they showed up while I was away. They charged me in thousands and did not cut the branches as I had explained and for what purpose. It did not seem like the service guy was listening other than hell bent on explaining the technicalities of what could and could not happen.

We have a weeping cherry which has been oozing more sap than normal. Staci gave us an assessment on the tree. She was very smart, funny, and informative. Then, we discussed my neighbor s huge oak tree (another client) and our dogwood which had too much mulch around the trunk Really grateful for her advice.

★★★
January 22, 2023

They charged me for a service that had not been completed and was not very communicative about finishing the job: First they couldn t perform the service because there was no street parking available (my doorbell camera said otherwise), then came, did front yard, and provided a note that they would return the following Monday to finish. No one came on Monday to finish but my credit card had been charged so I called the office. The office manger said that it was rescheduled for Wednesday as if I somehow should have known? I have been a customer for a few years and never had an issue but this was poor customer service - rude, lack of communication, no explanation, no apologies.

We recently moved to the area (Short Hills) and have a little over an acre with numerous very large trees. Scott and his SavATree team have been instrumental in both trimming the trees for their health and removing several large diseased or dying trees (ie. 24 Sassafras, 45 Poplar, 24 Maple). Scott has been very responsive to our inquiries and his team has been very professional every time they are at our property. If, like us, you have several large trees that are inaccessible from the road or driveway, be sure to ask about their spider lift that can go nearly anywhere to take down or trim large trees too weak to be climbed.

★★★★★
January 22, 2022

Lawn care and management is actually a commodity business. There is little differentiation in product and process. What makes this branch special is their commitment to customer relationship and operation management. I have the pleasure of working with an expert - Scott Lamm. He knows horticulture and passionate about his profession. This passion and frankly his approach to relationship management is the reason I use Sav A Tree - Mountainside. Kathy and Scott turn a commodity business into a very sticky partnership with customers. I would recommend them without hesitation and appreciate their execution, passion and thoughtfulness with respect to my lawn care and management activities.

We worked with Jody and our team to get a large dead Oak removed from our back yard, as well as essential trimming of other trees on our property. We came out of a year re-establishing our lawn and was concerned about the heavy equipment ruining the lawn. Jody worked with us to select an appropriate time in winter to perform the work to allow for the ground to freeze over to do minimum damage to the lawn. Because the schedule was flexible (waiting on the weather) we werent at home the day that his crew performed the work. Even so Jody kept us updated every step of the way. His crew left the property in immaculate condition - you could hardly notice they were there. We were so impressed with their work that we are looking to work with them for a second project on our property. Definitely recommend this SavATree.

Arborist Jody Huxter was prompt, professional and very knowledgeable about the condition of the trees on our property. His crew arrived on time, completed the punch list of each and every tree-even carefully accessed my neighbors property with large bucket truck-taking care not to damage their lawn, shrubs and trees, cleaned up every branch in both yards (my lawn is cleaner than when they arrived! ) and were on their way. Jody followed up by phone 2 hours after the job was completed to make sure we were happy. SavATree is now on speed dial for our future tree needs and tops to recommend to friends & neighbors. Thanks SavATree!

My wife and I received a flyer in the mail from SavATree, and were actually doing research to find a company to provide pruning and treatment services at the time. We called to make an appointment and received a call back right away. We ultimately scheduled a walk-through with Stacie Phelps, whose assistant was extremely polite, and helpful in getting our appointment scheduled. During our initial walk-through, it was evident how knowledgeable and passionate Stacie is about her profession. She was extremely patient with us, and was willing to answer all of our questions (and we had a lot). She was not pushy at all, but rather offered great insights into what she felt was necessary (mainly from a safety perspective), and what could wait. The overall cost was reasonable and her customer service was impeccable. We immediately booked an appointment to have the services completed. On the day of service, the crew was punctual, respectful, clean and expeditious getting the work done. Stacie was present too, and conducted a pre-, and post- walk through with us to make sure nothing was missed. We would highly recommend SavATree - Mountainside, and in particular were extremely impressed with Stacie Phelps!

I wanted to get more light into my backyard, but keep as many trees up as possible. Two other companies told me it wasnt possible and that I had to remove 3-4 trees minimum. I called Sav-A-Tree per the suggestion of a friend and was very satisfied with their assessment and performance - my trees were pruned back, but not one was removed and now I have more light, but still have privacy in my backyard.

★★★★★
January 22, 2021

Jody and his team were great and very responsive to what I wanted. We discussed specifics of what would be trimmed and how it would be trimmed. The job was done well. Jody recommended a plan of action for my lawn and was flexible in trying to keep costs down.

January 22, 2021

I saved more than $1000 this year by not signing up the service, and I waited to make sure if this problem is from my lawn or this company. Last year by fall, half of my lawn was complete covered by weed and the other half was gone from grubs, every single time that I called and mentioned my concerns, the answer was dont worry this will be fixed after a year or two but at the end my lawn was completely stressed and damaged. This year I did a favor to my lawn and I took over the nutrition and weed control so far it looks way better than last year. I picked save a tree although the service was the highest proposed between the others in the area but I picked them to make sure I am working with professionals. Out every 10 emails I sent maybe I got one response back. and at end just after I kept telling them that my lawn has grubs, they just added handful of seeds. If I did not treat my lawn for grubs this spring again I would have an ugly lawn like last year.

★★★★★

The office is immediately responsive to calls that come in. Jody Huxter (our regional manager) is attentive to all of our questions and needs related to the trees on our property. He is professional yet takes the extra time to get to know his clients. Jody recommends and supervises our tree care related to insect control, substantial pruning, feeding and caring for an aged tree. Last week his associate climbed our 100 year-old oak to remove a huge cracked limb and after several hours of work including much trimming of other trees, the yard was impeccable, and our trees look great!

I have interacted with dozens of companies throughout the renovation of our home and property these last few years. Most have been decent, some have been great, and others have been a nightmare. I have not felt compelled to write a review for any of them. Then comes Stacie Phelps-a tree savior sent from the heavens! Last summer I had a terrible experience with a big landscaping outfit and was left feeling completely ripped off and misinformed. A large area of newly planted evergreens was looking worse each week-and all I would hear from the company that planted them was they are fine!. They were not fine..I knew it but I needed an expert opinion to diagnose the problem and present a plan of action. I looked around online and quickly was attracted to SavATree after reading all the 5 Star reviews. Stacie met with me the next day and quickly assessed the situation. She pointed out that the lower branches of the trees were buried under the mulch-which was suffocating the trees-slowly killing them by the day. She patiently explained how the trees should have been planted and how best to lower the grade of the mulch to save them. I was able to call a trusted landscaper who carried out her instructions the very next day. Stacie also recommended a Kelp treatment and proper watering schedule-and was able to get her crew out within days to give the trees the nutrients they so desperately needed. Within a few weeks-the trees made a full recovery from sad and dying to happy and thriving-and they are still looking great over a year later. This year I planted several more trees in my backyard and immediately called Stacie for her expert opinion. The tree farm was telling me I did not need to irrigate, my sprinkler guy was telling me to irrigate every day-who do I trust? That right there is the value of a true HONEST professional like Stacie. She is an encyclopedia of knowledge and she shares it with her clients in the most passionate, genuine, and trustworthy way imaginable. Most other professionals who are offering services to home owners will prioritize making the sale over all else-and it often ends up hurting everyone involved. Stacie takes a unique approach that simply works. She shares her knowledge and is completely honest in her assessments and suggestions. If something is good and does not need fixing-she will tell you to leave it alone. And when she sees something that is or could become a problem-she will inform you-not push you-into utilizing the services she suggests. This allows her customers to be at ease-not on the defensive-and it ends up working out for everyone. This is how a professional relationship should work! It is a huge comfort to know that if I have a problem with my property-I dont have to worry about who to call and what to trust. I just call Stacie.. And you should too!

We have worked with SavATree many, many times over the years. Some work has been post storms and other general maintenance. Jody has always been very responsive and very competent in his work.

An all around outstanding experience with Stacie from SavATree. Stacie was very helpful and professional in giving us consulting about trees on our property. We have one tree that looked particularly dangerous and she laid out the conditions that were impacting the tree and what our options would be in terms of remediation or removal. For the other trees on our property she gave us very specific information as to what we should consider doing to ensure their health and safety. Communication with the office and directly with Stacie was timely and professional. They set me up with an appointment quickly and made sure to follow up in the days leading to the appointment.

SavATree, Stacie, and the entire team have been fantastic to work with. Our lawn looks amazing--best on the block according to our neighbors. We moved in last summer and inherited a bit of a mess. Stacie gave an excellent consultation, which I still reference a year later, and made very practical recommendations that involved both me taking simple steps to improve our lawn and garden as well as SavATrees intervention. They aerated, reseeded, removed some nuisance saplings, cut back a spruce tearing up our roof, and continue to manage pests. We have been totally happy with their service. They come and go without a fuss, leave detailed follow up instructions if needed, and check in regularly. I will continue to recommend SavATree to anyone!

He couldnt have been nicer or more attentive. He knew we had frustrations with other vendors we were working with around the same time - and he made sure to make it a very smooth job on our end. His crew was superior and they did a fantastic job. Even better, you could tell they all loved working together and love the job they are doing. Will definitely use in the future! Thanks team!

We started working with Stacie Phelps shortly after we purchased a property with many mature trees. Stacie has vast knowledge as a certified arborist, and she has educated me about our bushes, plants and trees so we can properly care for them. She has patiently walked me through what should be done due to safety concerns vs. cosmetic considerations. Stacie further worked with me to stay within our budget. She has been out to our property several times, always taking ample time to answer all of my questions. Stacie is easy to talk to and explains things for a laypersons understanding. Her assistant, Janet completes her team and keeps things running on the office side. We look forward to working with Stacie for years to come, and are very confident that our trees are receiving the highest quality care.

We have been using Savatree for about 11 years now to take care of feeding and pruning our aging oak trees, Japanese maples, arborvitae, etc. They also take care of tick control and as-needed fertilizing, insecticide, etc Every interaction weve had with Savatree and their team (including the schedulers) are super polite and responsive. Having price checked Savatree against others for a very large and complicated job, we also know that theyre price competitive. Being an amateur gardner, I would especially call out Scott Lamm. Scott spends the time to explain to us on what our trees need, why, and how he will approach it. I also cannot list the number of times over these years where he has also saved us $ by explaining the lives of trees and their natural behaviors and why no special action is required. With him and his team we know that our trees are in safe hands! Without doubt the very best service and would highly recommend Savatree and Scott!

I have used the services of Savatree, specifically with the guidance of master arborist Scott Lamm, for over twenty years. I cannot say enough good things about the services received. Everyone, from the office support staff to those in the field, are professional, courteous and friendly. Scott, in particular, is a gem! He has helped transform the trees and shrubs of both my front and backyards into healthy, thriving specimen. He has guided me on selection of specific trees and shrubs that he believes would meet my goals, including ones I never had heard of, but which turned out to be the perfect choice. Under the programs he mapped out, my trees and shrubs have survived all sorts of challenges that those of my neighbors have not. In fact, two of my neighbors now switched to Scott and Savatree. Needless to say, I am a big fan!

I really appreciated the service I received from SavATree and particularly the arborist Stacie Phelps and have recommended her many times to friends and neighbors. As new property owners, surrounded by trees and a worrisome amount of deadfall, Stacie was able to talk us through the kinds of trees on the property and the maintenence each needed. She helped us to identify potential tree problems such as disease and even had some pretty cool Tech gadgets to see if one was hollow and in danger of falling, she also helped advise me on what I could prune back myself and how to do it without damaging my lush plants. What was great about my experience is that I felt Stacie was invested in us keeping as many of our trees and plants as possible, I appreciated her deep knowledge of all things natural- trees, pests, grass and soil and her informative and sincere approach. I felt like I could trust her advice and not worry someone was just trying to sell me a bunch of services. Stacie is also supported by a terrific team both on the road and in the office and I was happy to work with them, set up appointments or address additional concerns not only of my immediate tree issues but also some of the lawn and pest problems we encountered throughout the year. SavATree definitely became my go-to resource I came to rely on and I look forward to working with them again this year.

Our arborist, Ryan Case, has been helping us care for our trees and shrubs for years. He has put together a comprehensive long-term plan, and we signed on to the arbor patrol service, which means someone is regularly walking our property and identifying potential problems as they arise - disease, fungi, insect damage, dead branches, etc. Ryan stays on top of any issues or emergencies (like dangling branches after a storm) efficiently and professionally. And we have had SavATree do extensive pruning to help our trees stay healthy and keep their best shape. We owe our gorgeous yard to SavATree! I would highly recommend Ryan Case and SavATree.

I have been working with SavATree for many years now. I enjoy working with Stacie Phelps and recommend SavATree as a tree service. Stacie is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring arborist. Her dedication to her work is evident in the advice she gives and the job that gets done. Her assistant, Janet, is incredibly helpful and manages the logistics quickly and efficiently. The techs who come and do the actual work of pruning and/or trimming are skilled and efficient, as well.

Glowing recommendations led me to Stacie Phelps and SavATree several years ago when I heard the Emerald Ash Borer was closing in on Essex County. (We have a beautiful ash tree in our back yard.) Since we have worked with SavATree and SavALawn, our lawn looks better than it ever has and we rest easy that our trees are healthy and arent going to blow over in a storm. We even got our block together to hire Stacie to care for the six ash trees that line our street.

SavaTree of Mountainside, especially Ryan Case - the arborist, have been extremely helpful and friendly. They are extremely knowledgeable on NJ trees and shrubs and potential diseases. Any time I have had an issue with a plant, Ryan has been quick to visit and determine what was wrong. I highly recommend the service. My trees say thanks.

Ryan Case is a fantastic arborist, hes always recommending whats good for the health of our trees and shrubs, and for our family. He has saved us from unthinkable damage on many occasions, by identifying dead wood up high in our centenary oaks that was too difficult for the non-expert eye to identify, but easy to confirm once he pointed it out. His crew is also exceptional; they cause no collateral damage; they take the time to explain what they are doing, and clean up before they leave.

We have used SavATree services for many (over 5 years), always very satisfied. We have had trees with health issues that required a diagnosis as well as a treatment plan. Ryan Case has provided knowledgeable and thorough expertise in setting up the plan. Every year we have trees pruned and have had almost no problems with falling branches after storms. We had used other companies, but are more confident with SavATrees service and professional approach.

Stacie Phelps is the rock star of arborists! She knows everything there is to know about trees and more: what their called, what they like, what they dont like, whats eating them, and most importantly, how to take care of them so that they can grow happily without causing any damage to structures or other trees throughout the seasons. Stacey is dependable, honest, friendly, and professional. I have been a repeat customer of Stacies for a few years now and wouldnt think of calling anyone else for tree pruning, fertilizing, or advice.

I have been a SavATree customer since 2011. In the days leading up to Hurricane Sandy I received a proactive notice from SavATree indicating that current customers would have priority service should they need it following the storm. As luck would have it, a large tree was uprooted in my front yard. With no phone service I sent an email to SavATree asking for help but expecting not to hear back. To my delight, the team showed up the next day to take down the uprooted tree that was precariously leaving toward my home. I ve been a customer ever since. Recently we moved into a new home and we needed a large tree removed. The 60+ foot cherry tree was sandwiched in-between my garage and the fence. My SavATree team was able to masterfully take down the tree, piece by piece, working in a very confined area. It was a amazing to watch. When the job was done, the site was meticulously cleaned up of all debris. I highly recommend SavATree to anyone looking for a true arborist-based approach to tree, shrub, and lawn care.

Have been very happy with the attentiveness and knowledge of Jodi Huxter, our arborist at SavATree. He knows his stuff and is very fair and honest in assessments and service suggestions. People make a difference; hes a good one. And if I may throw out a more general opinion: No matter who you use, take care of your trees! Its important. They add beauty to the world and value to your property!

We ve been customers for probably 15-20 years. It s great working with an experienced organization that really knows it s stuff. I trust our arborist Jody Huxter to give us straight answers, solutions and suggestions that meet our needs and the needs of our trees. He comes out every spring and looks things over. No charge, just checking on the health of our trees. If I want to be there, he juggles his schedule to meet mine. If there s an issue he s always upfront with exactly what he recommends and it s cost. There are never any surprises. The guys do exactly what we signed up for, no more no less and less. The area is always left neat in tidy. I trust them implicitly. Highly, highly recommended.

I needed some work done on my property after I just moved from NYC and didn t know where to start. I had a few different tree services come for a quote and ultimately decided on Savatree. I was impressed with Jody s knowledge, honesty, and up-frontness about the work that can and can t be done. I even had a few calls with him leading up to the scheduled date to confirm about weather and other factors. On the day of the job, Jody came personally to oversee the job, and the crew did a great job quickly, cleanly and efficiently working through the various trees. Afterwards, the crew did a walk through of the property with me to ensure everything was completed to my satisfaction. 10/10 I would call Jody for any future work that s needed on my property and would definitely recommend to others.

We called Jody to assess a tree that was recently hit by lightening. Jody confirmed it was indeed hit by lightening and probably hit twice. There was no way to save the tree. The tree would start to die but we might not see that for another 6 mos to a year. We decided to have the tree taken down sooner rather than later. The job wasnt an easy one, as there were wires on either side of the tree. Jody and his crew respected our property as well as our neighbors property. They worked efficiently and cleared the property of ALL debris. This is the second time we have used Jody and SaveATree. We are very pleased with them.

We hired SavATree in May 2019 to prune several pine oak trees that are close to 80 tall. During the previous winter and spring storms the trees had been shedding big branches. After the pruning, we have experienced several strong thunderstorms and high winds and not one branch has fallen off. The crew did an amazing job with the pruning and clean up after the job was over. They also kept us informed of their up close observations about the health of the trees. From the first call to the last recap email - Jody and his team were amazing!

Buyer Beware, I take absolutely no pleasure in writing a review like this but I am left with little recourse since this company has refused to contact me regarding their work. I hired Save A Tree to remove several trees around my property. They couldnt have done a more sloppy job and they destroyed half my lawn. Half the grass on my front lawn is dead, I have huge areas that are just piles of dirt from their equipment and I am going to have to replace half my lawn. Where they dragged the trees out from my back yard, the ground cover has been destroyed. Additionally, there were two trees that were supposed to be removed and they were left. One tree was to be trimmed and there are still many branches that are dangerously close to falling and clearly should have been removed. The ground cover around that tree has been trampled and destroyed. I have contacted them several times to no avail. I will have to resort to other means to be compensated for the damages to my property. As soon as I asked for a make good and sent in photos of the damage, I did not hear from them again. I will be reviewing on other sites, contacting the better business bureau and others to make certain anyone hiring this company is aware of my experience. Avoid this company. Hire them at your peril.
