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…

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…

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!
