I have been using SaveAtree for almost 20 years. They are knowledgeable arborist who take good care of your tree and do not hack it when it comes to pruning. If you love your tree and want to make sure it lives a long healthy life use SaveAtree. It will save you the hardships and costs of a damaged tree in the future.
I hired SavATree to remove four hemlock trees, trim three sets of arborvitae, and prune a tall tree using a bucket truck. Rafael patiently listened to our requests, provided expert advice, thoroughly surveyed the site, and gave us a detailed written proposal. The crew arrived on time on the scheduled day, completed…
The crew came and I was introduced to each member. They were polite and respectful. They trimmed the tree in question and cleaned up very nicely.
Good work, reasonable price, honest contractor.
Rafael may be the most professional and trust-worthy service provider I've ever talked to. He is on time, knowledgeable, respectful and approachable. Rafael's team is also very professional and experienced. They did a great job at our property, performing a detailed trimming and pruning all the way around my yard.…
Knowledgeable, good price and very courteous crew
I read through a few of the reviews before writing mine, and I have to say I was sorry to see a couple of the poor ones. Obviously everyone’s experience is their own, but based on ours, some of the criticism seemed a little unjust. Have there been occasional gaps in communication around scheduling? Absolutely—but…
SavATree recently completed some pruning and took down a few dead trees in our yard. They were quick, thorough, and courteous throughout the process. Highly recommended in the greater Boston area.
Good communication, prompt arrival, well executed plan and nice cleanup by the team. Very happy working with Tyler and the team and very satisfied with the job
Had a bunch of trees pruned. First rate job absolute perfection! And not a leaf or scrap anywhere! It was like I dreamed how the trees should be and sav a tree made it happen Love these guys!
Very professional and kind crew. They came on time and worked hard through the time they were with us. The work looks beautiful and was with consideration of what we had asked for. They cleaned as they went so there was no mess at the end. I would definitely call them For any future work.
Excellent job pruning my Yew bushes and cleaning up too. Thank you!!
Rafael did our service just as we had talked about. Looking forward to other jobs in the future.
We had a precious specimen tree that had been badly pruned. Happily, Savatree's crew knew how to prune this unusual tree and it looks so much better. They exposed some of the trees structure and it looks 100% healthier. They also found an issue of branches growing together and carefully corrected it. I insisted on…
Savatree does a great job of caring for our property and communicating issues, needs and treatments
Excellent prompt service.
They did a great job. Met all my arborist needs and were flexible when I modified our goals. Great friendly attitude. Polite.
We have used their services for years with excellent results at fair prices
Great team - expert in their work, helpful and informative to me so I always knew what to expect. Took great care with the neighbors on this narrow street. An outstanding team.
Save a Tree is a great business to deal with. We used them based on recommendations from family and neighbors. The admin people are responsive, the arborist who survey our trees and provided the quote is polite and responsive. The arborists were punctual on the day of the work. They successfully maneuvered around…
Savestree were very professional to deal with. They provided an accurate quote and completed the work in a timely manner. I would highly recommend their team.
Rafael gave a fair estimate compared to another company and was very knowledgeable and helpful. Also a great guy. The “ tree guys” were exceptional in the quality of the work. They did all that was in the job efficiently and effectively with good judgement and attention to the cosmetics of the end result which…
Great work trimming trees and bushes in a natural rather than shaved way.
This is the 2nd time that I have used SavATree in the past 8 years. They have certified arborists, not just some guy who wants to cut down your trees and change a lot. Rafael Acevedo discussed everything I wanted pruned, trimmed, cut down. The leaves were off the trees when the crew arrived about a week ago. They…
Rafael and the crew of guys that trimmed my Maple tree did a fantastic job from start to finish. Highly Recommended.
We have used SavATree several times for a variety of things. They came out to our property to make recommendations and offer advice; they evaluated and removed a large and beloved tree in front of our house; and they helped plan and plant a memorial tree to replace it. Across the board, the folks at SavATree have…
SavATree continues to offer excellent service and value for my family in our mission to have all of our trees thrive. The year round maintenance service we receive is super, and a recent repair on a damaged tree was immediately handled and saved the tree involved. *****STAR RATING
Jeff is knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and reasonably priced. He twice saved my ornamental plum tree from insect infestation. I highly recommend his services!
They are very professional and knowledgeable. They do excellent work.
We had an exceptionally positive experience working with Sav-A-Tree. Arborist Hannah Hayes was extremely responsive to our needs and concerns. The estimate was reasonable, the work was done when promised, the crew was terrific, and the follow-up, to ensure that we were totally satisfied with the work, was great.…
I love how they pruned our trees. The Japanese Maples look so soft and round. The birches are tall and straight. Everything they do is done with care, artistry, and what I asked for. Very impressive. They have pruned our trees for years. I totally trust them.
The crew did a good job pruning our tree and along the back fence. They did a thorough cleanup and responded to our questions and requests.
Prompt , professional service inclusive of lawn care
John Fenton and the Save a Tree team are always responsive and very knowledgeable. our trees are healthy and look great with their care.
Excellent and very knowledgeable service for trees, shrubs. Very responsive. Highly recommend
Jeff and his crew did a great job on our trees. We are very pleased with their work which was cutting 6 trees away from the house and thinning out an overgrown tree. The crew were helpful, putting all deck furniture back in place, and cleaning up any debris left from the cutting and grinding. I highly recommend Sav-A-Tree!
We consistently have excellent results with Jeff at SavATree. He is always responsive with our calls and knowledgeable with our questions. They show up as scheduled, are efficient with their time and address the issues we have with our trees. We have used them for several years and have no intentions of hiring anyone else.
I’ve been a client of Savatree for several years and, throughout that time, the arborists I’ve worked with have been knowledgeable and professional. Arborist John Fenton always gives practical and no nonsense advice, and he has helped improve the quality and beauty of our garden
Amazing work! As if some tree angels came and saw how to make everything look better and then left without a trace! Always timely and incredibly tidy, I mean not a single leaf! Love these guys!!!
