Had a great experience with tree removal, pruning, and stump grinding, and large hedge and bamboo removal. Also developed a plan for removing invasive vines and treating scale infestation of crepe myrtle trees. Sara and team were excellent to work with: professional, friendly, communicative, and reasonably priced compared to other quotes we go. Will use again!

I would advise finding a different company. We paid nearly $2,000 to have a tree removed and hauled away. The tree still stands over our fence and the wood remains, despite our contract (image included.) Don't make the same mistake we did and take your business elsewhere. SavATree is completely unprofessional and unreliable. **UPDATE** After reaching out to the company and posting this review, SavATree came back out and cut down the remainder of the tree and hauled away the wood as was agreed to in our contract.

My 37-year-old sugar maple had to be cut down because it was diseased and had partially fallen. A neighbor of mine had used SavATree to trim some of her trees, so I scheduled them to finish downing my tree and then to haul the cuttings away. My scheduling experience was very good in that the arborist who initially came out to see the tree seemed knowledgeable and proficient. My tree required the use of a bucket truck because of its height and fragility, so the quoted price was higher than I had anticipated; but I also know that tree work is expensive. The tree trimmers couldn’t do the job on the scheduled day because of rain, but they showed up the following day, right on time, and worked diligently. They left behind about a 12” stump that I didn’t like the looks of, so I hired a separate company to grind out the stump. SavATree didn’t want to do stump grinding for me because my tree was about 7’ from my well line. The arborist thought that grinding the stump could possibly have negative consequences on my well system. SavaTree performed the contracted work to my satisfaction and left the work area clean. The workmen and all representatives of the company were very friendly as well. My only suggestion is that company responsiveness to customer questions be better. I waited an unduly long period of time for a response to a question I had about their weather policy. Other than that, I was satisfied with my experience and will consider them again should I need tree help.

Sara was so incredibly helpful and awesome. She assessed all my trees and laid out what work needed to be done right away, what work could be postponed and what needed to be monitored from year to year. And the crew taking down branches was amazing and dealt with unfavorable weather conditions excellently.

Sara Jensen and her crew were great. Right from the first consultation through the pruning of all the trees and bushes, the team was professional, open to questions, courteous and efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sara in particular as the driving force as well as the 3 crew members. They transformed the yard into a beautiful setting. Hopefully, we will have future projects that require your expertise. I think the best advertising for your company was how the crew worked during the day and left the yard and driveway pristine. I’m sure the neighbors watched! We will gladly refer Sara and the company to the others in the neighborhood.

SavATree did an excellent job - thank you. During the site visit they took time to understand my priorities, answered my questions clearly, and provided sound advice. The price was reasonable for the work done. Our trees look great, and I can sleep more soundly knowing they are being properly maintained.

I hired SavATree to cut back some branches that were too close to my house and to bring some more light into my shady backyard. Sara was super knowledgeable and helpful, explaining how different solutions could meet my goals. These before and after pictures were taken in the same spot at the same time on two different days—you can see what a difference there is! I would happily recommend Sara and SavATree.

Terrible results. Would recommend this company to my enemies.... After spending about 2200 for a years program, my lawn looked horrible. That was after using them for a number of years prior with so so results. Even have bare spots because they decided to seed after the rainy season in September. Not at all concered with making my lawn better. When I complained all the response I get is crickets.

SavATree has taken care of our hollies for over 10 years. When the city of Washington DC asked us to trim back some trees from our alley, I asked SavATree for quote. When they came out to look, they said Oh - I can just take care of that now. No charge. Happy customer!

Today I was trying to exit my neighborhood on a road used for school traffic, and a truck from this company blocked the road. Cars piled up behind as the people from the company could not figure out how to operate the equipment that was blocking the road to move it out of the way. They were having a good laugh at us waiting to get through. After waiting and waiting, the cars backed up onto other streets finally started to back out. By the time I was able to back out and go around through a different route, I was late to work for a meeting. If you are going to block busy streets during the morning rush hour, you should have gotten a permit to block off the road or be sure your people know how to operate the equipment before blocking a road.

We have been the beneficiaries of SavATree services on multiple occasions. The first was an emergency response after a major windstorm that dropped two large Leyland Cyprus trees onto our house and deck. Our insurance company engaged them. They returned a few weeks later to remove the fallen trees and a third cyprus, at our request, that was leaning toward the house. They also topped two large arborvitae. They returned again to grind out the stumps of the three trees. This year, being thoroughly satisfied with their work, we engaged SavATree again, to remove six more Leyland Cyprus -- four dead, and two partly uprooted. They did the work last week. SavATree was not able to get a boom truck into the location of the trees so did the work with ladders and ropes. Their crews are skillful and well equipped, including with proper safety equipment, and they were meticulous in avoiding damage to nearby plants, vegetable garden fence, etc. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each job. In all of this work, our contact point at SavATree has been arborist Sara Jensen. She has provided good advice, given accurate estimates with very reasonable prices, has scheduled jobs to suit our convenience, has ensured that crews are aware of any constraints they need to observe, and has arrived during each job to check that the work is being properly done. She responds quickly to our communications, whether by telephone or email. Whenever we need tree work done, we use SavATree, and we always call Sara to make the arrangements. We highly recommend both SavATree and Sara. As further evidence of our satisfaction, we engaged SavATree again, a few days ago, to remove the stumps and debris from three more Leland Cyprus trees that fell in an ice and windstorm. As usual, the work was professionally done and the cleanup was thorough. Most recently SavATree applied sea kelp in one application and fertilizer in another to strengthen a silver maple that seems to be leafing sparsely. Work was excellent as usual. We hope for good outcome.

I am thrilled with SavATree which takes great care of my city garden. They have saved my euonymus bushes from blight, fertilized my flower beds, and pruned my trees. Their staff are experts who are professional, friendly, and communicative. Kudos!

Our trees just needed some TLC. Sara and her team were absolutely incredible - knowledgeable, professional, and honest. Theyre not there to just get the job done...they really care - and theyre not looking to nickel and dime you. What a pleasure to work with them. Worth every penny!

SavATree has been a great service for our new house and all the trees on our property. I appreciate their transparency and communication as well as their thorough knowledge of how to keep our trees healthy!

October 23, 2024

If I could give them zero stars, I would. This company is an absolute joke and you re better off spending your time and money anywhere else. They have zero organization. Routes and services are constantly missed and having to be rescheduled. Their managers are rude and lack the knowledge is clear because they re unable to assist with the most basic of issues. It s a shock this company has been in service as long as it has.

★★★★★
October 23, 2024

This is the second time Sara came to give me an estimate on landscape work. I find her to be honest, extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. And, she doesn t mind sharing extra tips for you to care for your trees and lawn. I will certainly call Sav A Tree again. Thank you, Sara!

SAVATREE keeps my trees/bushes healthy with regular treatments and pruning when required. Arborist Sara Jensen has advised me on keeping my shrubs and trees healthy and attractive for years now. It has been obvious that she is not motivated whatsoever to make a profit for her company, rather her motivation is to keep growing green things (large or small) alive and thriving!

SavATree was responsive to our request in evaluating a sick tree and making recommendations.

UPDATE: On June 6, our arborist recommended two treatments for our ailing dogwood tree. He said the first would probably be sometime in July. I emailed him twice with questions in the following week and never heard back. On June 24 I called the office because our tree was looking very sick. The woman I spoke to said she would talk to the arborist and get back to me. Today is July 1, I havent heard anything from SavATree and Im pretty sure the tree is beyond help at this point. Would definitely NOT recommend. ********* Cory was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Im looking forward to getting our Dogwood tree healthy and thriving again with his help.

SavATree has provided us with deep root treatment for several trees in our yards as well as scale treatment for multiple trees and bushes, most notably some crate myrtles. There has been a noticeable benefit to tree health and the overall beauty of our property. SavATree is easy to work with on the scheduling front, and weve been extraordinarily happy with their service. From the outset and since weve been working with SavATree, Jesse Wyner has been a great resource. He has answered all of our questions and provides practical recommendations solutions for taking care of our yard. We look forward to continue our relationship with SavATree for the foreseeable future.

SavATree was easy and straight forward to work with. Sara came out to talk to me about upkeep on some large hedges. But we ended up deciding to prune a large tree in my backyard. The crew was super professional and Im very happy with the way it turned out. Sara was very communicative throughout the process and was there the morning of the work to make sure everything was all set. Highly recommend!

★★★★★
June 23, 2024

I ve hired SavATree twice once for pruning and more recently for tree removal. Arborist Sara J is amazing and very conscientious, taking tree health and the safety of her crew seriously. The tree climbers who felled my tree did the job well and cleaned the yard completely of debris. Highly recommend!

★★★★★
June 23, 2024

Ive had very positive experiences with SavATree and highly recommend them. They did a good job cutting down a large spruce tree that had unfortunately died.

I needed to get some trees trimmed since they were overgrown & one was hanging over my roof. Due to the variety of trees involved I wanted to get a company with an arborist to advise me about what could be safely cut without harming the trees. Very glad I selected SaveaTree. Jessica, the arborist, came out to inspect the trees and provided me with a competitive quote. She was very knowledgeable & very professional. The crew showed up on time, did a very good job and cleaned up everything afterwards. I will definitely contact them next time I need any tree work.

On the recommendation of a friend who has used SavATree for several years, we set up an appointment. Jesse Wyner came out and took a look at our property and, WOW, were we impressed. He really knows his shrubs and trees, and we could tell he had a love for them. We were impressed with his professionalism and knowledge so much that we never even entertained the thought of getting a second opinion or quote. We wanted Jesse! Then, on pruning day, Hernan, Danny, Austin, Nelson, and Antonio showed up with their safety gear on, tools, and trucks to do the work. We were impressed with their safety, professionalism, and skill. The crew has an eye for the aesthetic and made our trees look beautiful! Not only are all of the above men knowledgeable and skillful, but they are also kind and have great personalities. We love SavATree! P.S. Hernan and Edwin were just out again today and tackled the tough job of removing invasive honeysuckle and grinding stumps which also involved taking down and putting back up a fence and dealing with an electric dog fence. Everything looks great!

We have several large trees on our property that had not been pruned in a while. We were very happy with our recent experience with SavATree of Rockville. The arborist, Myrick Johnson, was very helpful in determining what our trees needed. The crew did an excellent job with pruning and cleanup. Everyone involved made sure that the pruning was done to our satisfaction. They have a good customer portal as well. We would definitely recommend them.

SavATree staff did a terrific job removing dead limbs from an oak tree and pruning many large shrubs around my house, including boxwood, holly, lilac, and pieris. I had neglected the shrubs for many years, and Im delighted at how wonderful and healthy they now look. The crew led by Hernan did excellent work. They were prompt, careful, and skillful. I also appreciated that Jesse, the arborist who evaluated and estimated the job, came by before the work started and checked in after it was done. In an act of kindness, Savatree staff noted a birds nest in one of the bushes, and made sure not to disturb it. After all the trimming, the crew cleaned up all the work areas beautifully. Highly recommended.

I moved to the area last year and was concerned about how some of the oak trees looked on our property. We knew that we needed the opinion of a licensed arborist. After performing internet searches and checking neighborhood social media sites, positive recommendations for SavATree and, specifically, the name Sara Jensen consistently popped up. After the initial walkthrough of the property with Sara, we were floored by the thorough knowledge and explanation she imparted to us, and we knew we were in the right hands. The company name says it all. We have been working with Sara for over a year now to ensure the long term health of our trees through special soil treatments to nourish the trees and provide protection against certain pests. The largest and likely oldest of the trees did urgently need to be taken down as it contained a dangerous amount of rot. We were touched by the compassion shown by Sara for our reluctance of its necessary demise. The team that took it down was so respectful of our property and beyond professional. Their careful, methodical process demonstrated seasoned years of knowledge with safety kept at the forefront while diligently making quick work of the task. We are so happy to have found a caring, licensed arborist and a company that seeks to preserve the health of trees. We HIGHLY recommend SavATree!

I heartily recommend SavATree. Every part of our experience with them was excellent. My wife and I contacted them to have them look at our trees, especially as one was concerning us. It was quick and easy to set up an appointment. Sara was the arborist who came to look at our trees. She is outstanding - she knows her stuff, she is kind, friendly, and she doesn t try to sell you on what you don t need. My wife and I decided on services we thought made sense, and the work was done soon thereafter. The work crew was on time, competent, respectful of our property, and respectful of us.

This company was recommended by several people in my online community. It s important to me to use a tree company with arborists on staff. Casey Bartoe, the arborist assigned to evaluate our large linden tree, responded promptly to my concerns about the crew following her pruning recommendations. She came to the house on the day of service, talked to the crew, and checked to see that I was satisfied with the work before they left. She was quick to follow up on email during and after the service.

January 23, 2024

I scheduled an appointment for an arborist to look at my trees. Was given the name of the person who was coming and the confirmed date and time. The arborist did not show-up. When I called 45 minutes after their scheduled arrival time they said I didn t have an appointment on their calendar. I had the name of the arborist who was meant to come and they had my name and address in their system. There was no uncertainty in my schedule and I was told the appointment was set for August 23rd. A quick check of my iPhone showed that I did not receive a call from them on August 22nd.

We have worked with SavATree for 5 years. Initially to sustain several potentially compromised trees. For the past 3 years, we have utilized their lawn-care services. Most recently they did tree-trim work. We have been pleased with the quality of their services and readily refer them to our neighbors. We have worked with 3 arborists during that time. Each has been extremely knowledgeable and responsive. When we have questions or potential issues, they come to our home and make direct assessments. Our current arborist, Casey Barton has been very helpful and appears to be very knowledgeable. She even helped the tree trimming team on the job!

This was the second time Sav-A-Tree has come to our home to trim our trees. Sara Jensen started her crew off by reviewing her notes about which branches to remove, and then her crew worked for several hours on our trees. The two giant oaks in my front and back yards were expertly trimmed to safely remove dead wood and a large branch hanging over my house. I could not find any damage to the underlying shrubs. The areas were properly raked to remove debris and paths blown clear. I am very happy with the work. The crew was so polite and a pleasure to interact with about what logs to save for firewood (they stacked them in our wood rack to dry) and which ones to get chipped up because they were rotted and wouldnt burn well.

★★★★★
January 23, 2024

This is my second year with SavATree. The work done last year with the cutting down a severely overgrown evergreen was done extremely well. This year it was the pruning of a large oak and three crepe myrtles that needed a lot of corrective work. Casey Bartoe was the arborist who came to evaluate at my trees. She was outstanding, and, it was evident she really knew and enjoyed her profession. She was pleasant, very professional and friendly, and didn t try to upsell me on what I didn t need at this time. Her crew of Lindo, Felix and Edwin (same crew from last year) were on time, competent, and considerate of the property. They all did a great job! I heartily recommend SavATree, they ll be here next year for something I am sure Every part of my experience with them was excellent. I am pleased to have found them!

Ive used these folks for around 4 years (probably longer). Ive had them trim our several maple trees in order to provide filtered sunlight to the lawns to allow the grass to grow with great results. They also recommended that I cable together the trunks on a high bifurcated pine tree in the back yard to prevent it from splitting and taking out the house (I feel much safer with the brisk winds weve had in the last year. theyve also trimmed and fertilized on old dogwood that is doing surprisingly well and blooms every year, even though it was pretty raggedly looking initially. Very happy with their work in preserving and trimming the large trees in our yard. Casey Bartoe is our Arborst and was friendly and helpful in her assessment and recommendations.

Sav A Tree arborist Myrick Johnson, and the crew who performed the work did a great job on all the trees I had them work on, and for a reasonable price. This was the third time we ve had Sav A Tree do work on our trees and they always appeared knowledgeable about just how far to prune back, and were efficient in the way that they approached the work.

No need to look any further. The first thing to do is call certified arborist, Domenic Bello. Hell assess your tree and recommend the right course of action. In our case, it was to provide long-overdue TLC for our backyard silver maple. Next, get crew leader, Hernan, and his team to do a careful pruning job based on Doms assessment. And voila, youve got your cherished tree on its way back to a beautiful life! We couldnt be happier.

Sara was an amazing arborist! Her knowledge and caring manner really impressed me. The entire Saveatree Team was so professional and respectful of all the plants and trees in the yard. Even in the heat the team continued to follow safety protocol at all times and did a very thorough clean up job. Thank you Saveatree!

Mark Selivan provided services for our trees. His crew just completed the work and it looks fabulous. Two days of work and zero headaches! His quote was the most expensive , but we have gone with a less expensive company before and we were not able to achieve the same quality result. His crew was efficient, courteous and thoughtful, they offered to do an additional small pruning to help with one tree that was not on the list. They left the place clean and took away additional wood that we needed to dispose of.

Recently, SavATree provided tree pruning services for two large trees and a row of mature Arborvitae on my property. I had needlessly delayed arranging for this necessary tree maintenance for years because I was wary of the hassle and aggravation that I was sure would ensue. My fears were not well-founded and I was placed at ease as soon as Mark Selivan, the SavATree Licensed Arborist who covers the Bethesda area, arrived at my home. Mark s relaxed and knowledgeable demeanor was immediately evident, and I knew that my trees were in good hands. After I received the detailed description of the work to be performed and a reasonable cost quotation, I signed up for their services. When the work crew reached my house on the scheduled date and time, Mark was on site to start them off personally with specific directions to complement their work order. The crew arrived with two new-looking trucks: one bucket truck, and a chip collection truck trailing a powerful wood chipper. The bucket truck provided a platform for the worker tending to the tree in my front yard, however, the tree in my backyard required a climber to ascend into the tree to perform his work. The work crew performed very diligently and expertly, showing that they took pride in their work and were an experienced team. The care with which they deployed and later carefully stowed their climbing tackle indicated that they were true professionals. The end result was a well-executed tree pruning process, with my property cleared of all debris from branch trimming and wood chipping. I m looking forward to my trees growing quickly, so I can have the SavATree team visit my home again.

Mark Selivan has been my arborist for years, and Ive bragged about him to friends and family many times. Thats because of the excellent advice and service Ive received from him. He knew everything about my trees. Since I know zilch, I appreciated this. I was so impressed by his knowledge. He never pressured me, and we had a good relationship of trust. I was actually touched by how he cared about my trees, especially my wonderful azalea display in the spring. I alway felt I was in good hands and will miss working with him. Mark, I wish you and your family all the best in your new home.

SavATree has taken care of our trees since we moved to our home in 2011 -- handling a massive removal mere months before the derecho moved in. Most recently, they removed two very large trees sited very close to the home, and did so with outstanding professionalism and grace under unexpectedly challenging circumstances. They have also ensured that other trees have been well maintained and were proactive about identifying and then addressing any problems. Mark Selivan has been a true partner in our tree care, who truly wanted the best for our property and us, and always conducted himself with the utmost professionalism and expertise. And we know how much he loves trees! We will miss him terribly, but know that well be in good hands going forward.

I have only the highest praise for SavATree. Their work is very high quality and they do what they say theyll do and when they say theyll do it. The price may be a bit high -- I dont really have a basis of comparison -- but its worth every penny, not only because of how good they are at their job but also because I know I can trust them. Sara (whom Ive consulted and spoken with many times over the years) absolutely knows her stuff. Shes kept us from making mistakes and spending money we didnt have to. That counts for a lot in my book. I absolutely recommend them.

Weve had Sara Jensen and her team come out twice in the past few months to first clean out the crown of some large oak trees, then to prune back several fruit trees that hadnt been pruned in years or possibly ever.

The crew was also very nice, great communicators, and did a terrific job all the way around. We definitely recommend Sara and her team, and will have them back out in the future.

SavATree recently removed a number of dead trees that were dangerous to our house and to the road that we live on. We had an arrangement to stage their equipment on our neighbors driveway, but there were time constraints agreed upon. They arrived on time, and left on time, each day. They took two days to do the job, as promised. They thoroughly cleaned up our yard and hauled away all of the wood. Moreover, the final invoice was almost $3000 less than the original estimate. We are very satisfied with the results and the process.

Estimator on time and not in a rush; professional and personable. Estimate high but reasonable. Crew on time to do the work. My street does not have curbs, but SavATree crew was totally respectful of my lawn when parking. Crew may have been totally ESL, but reflected impressive competence with English (my only language). Excellent work ethic and totally responsive to customer requests and observations. Impressed me that they did not use the chipper until the end of the job. Total job involved 4 men in 2 trucks for a total of approx. 6 hrs. They did the job like they had been customers before becoming providers.

You never know how good something is until you try it yourself. I came under financial stress a couple of years ago. I decided to cancel my lawn services. It went well until the heat of the summer hit. My inexperience hampered my abilities to maintain a beautiful lawn. The front lawn survived my wrath quite well, but the back, not so much. It needs so much help. Too much shade, and too much standing water due to being the house at the lowest elevation in the neighborhood. Well things are better again financially, and I have restarted a lawn care program. These people are professionals, and know what theyre doing. I look forward to breathing a big sigh of relief. Edit: Just got an email stating the company was unable to perform the final treatment for my lawn. Ill give two stars since they admitted their mistake. But this is unacceptable. Will most likely be changing to a different company.

Very overpriced and ineffective. A large piece of our tree collapsed two weeks after their visit... no storm or anything. Which is the reason we hired them, to cut back any unhealthy branches. We had to hire someone else in the end who was much cheaper.. to do the job we wanted. Go with another provider. There are better ones in the area.

Mark Selivan came to give a free consultation on tree health and gave some advices and price quotes. I was still pondering about the options and wanted to know more, but he seemed in a hurry - car parked on the street with the engine still on, not actively describing the options and how the trees will be pruned and what the results will look like. He basically responded to my questions, not taking the initiative to give more details. When I asked him to look at other trees in the back yard, to my utter surprise, he said he wouldnt go because I will not use his service. What? I have other trees to ask for his help and he just refused to even take a look? My house is less than 1/4 acre; it only takes him 5 seconds to walk to the back and he refused to do it. He said it sounds like I think the quote is too high and I will get quotes from other companies. What an arrogant guy with deep prejudice! He simply judged people by appearance and the way they said things. He did not know I did a thorough research to convince myself that his company is the best Id want to spend money to save my trees. He did not know this is the only company on my list. He just thought my pause, my pondering of the treatment plan was a sign of resistance to the high quotes, not knowing that he gave scattered information that lacked details. He assumed I will not (or cannot afford, due to my very down-to-earth outfit or my accent) spend the money. I said, what kind of customer service you are brining in today? You just second guessed peoples good intention. He seemed happy when I asked him to leave since his cars engine was still on anyway. Mr. Selivan, I always think only those who love trees will become arborists, but today you prove me wrong. By the way, I thought the quotes of $175 for feeding two giant old trees and $1600 for cutting one and pruning the other are quite reasonable. But you lost this opportunity for your company today.

I needed several trees removed and their stumps ground. We got three estimates, and SavATree was several hundred dollars higher than the other two, BUT, it turned out that the other companies hid their hauling fees, which in one case was more than the removal and grinding. In the end, SavATree s pricing was right on par. I appreciate the honesty greatly! How many times has a contractor nickel and dimed you? I work with my hands for a living, and I was perfectly capable of doing the work myself, but I wasn t willing to sacrifice the time. I can honestly say, that they did a better job than I would have, which is why I will be hiring them again, knowing that they ll take care of me, and I won t be left feeling ripped off and angry.

Mark Selivan and his team at Savatree are fantastic. They have absolutely turned around my lawn, which was a mess for many years, largely in a single year, and ensured that my trees and shrubs stay or become healthy, including saving a green giant that was split in half when another tree fell on it. Having said that, Mark and his team have never over-promised anything and are incredibly patient and knowledgeable when I have basic and not-so-basic questions. They have always promptly responded when I have a concern or need help, too. Their administrator, Jessica, is absolutely the best. She is always immediately responsive and keeps everyone on schedule, including helping me keep track of what is coming up. I have lived in Chevy Chase for 25 years now and have tried a number of tree, lawn, and shrub specialists over the years. Once I found Mark, I stuck with him and his team because they are head and shoulders above others I have tried. Thank you!

I cannot say enough good things about SavATree. The arborist was personable, extremely knowledgeable and professional. She assured me that SavATree would do everything to save my tree. They were right on time for our appointment and the tree looks great. They cleaned up every twig and leaf on my lawn and my neighbors. The tree looks like it had a light hair cut - thats all. You would never know it had been trimmed. Two of my neighbors have engaged them to do their trees after looking at mine. If I ever need another tree taken care of I will definitely call them.
