They were very organized and professional. I obtained two other local tree company estimates and the arborist (Stefan) was the only one to provide an itemized quote of all the trees with a detailed, numbered map. The other two tree companies did not itemize the work and quoted a daily rate. One company only provided a verbal estimate and the owner acted insulted when I asked for an itemized quote. One company was so busy I had to wait 2 weeks before I could get an estimate. The crew arrived by 7:30 am and left at 5 pm and put in a full days' work. They had a wood chipper and cleaned up all the brush and pruned limbs and did not leave a mess behind. They do not hassle you to sign a contract (one company said the final cost could be +10% higher), giving them a 50% deposit, or paying up front. They also applied the Angie's List "Big Deal" coupon to the invoice. Lowden SavATree has also been our lawn service company (SavALawn) for over 10 years. I was very pleased with their tree work and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Lowden SavATree pruned several trees on the property, removed broken and dead limbs from some of the trees, removed bittersweet vines that were strangling several other trees and removed a couple of trees. The trees on the property had not been pruned in a long time.

The crew arrived promptly on the date scheduled and we walked around the property and the crew chief explained in detail what they would be doing. Then they got to work taking the tree down. When watching an operation like this you come to appreciate the degree of skill and experience required to do it well; throughout, I had full confidence that the crew knew what they were doing and were in full control of this very large tree. Despite unexpectedly running into a large bee hive in the tree trunk, the crew completed the job, and even carved out a seat in the tree stump so that my son now has a special place to sit in the yard. In the delicate and high-anxiety process of removing the section of trunk with the bee hive, some flowers in our neighbor's yard were crushed. When I brought this to to attention of Alton Cole the following day (after our neighbors brought the damage to our attention), he visited our neighbor's house to assess the damage and proposed a solution (that he would plant some new flowers in the place of the trampled ones). We were pleased with this outcome as we would not have wanted to strain our relationship with our neighbors.
Description of Work: Took down and removed a very large old tree that had substantial carpenter ant damage and rot. Also pruned back other trees in back yard and treated and fertilized other trees.

They had to do some more work, but they didn?t have the right equipment. So, they will come back again. I will definitely recommend them. They were professional. I asked them to come after 12 because I would be home back then. They came a little early and were just looking around things. They were things that I couldn?t identify and they just took care of it. It was great.

Response from SavATree - Lincoln
In our experience, when there is a large discrepancy between prices in our business it’s usually not an “apples to apples” comparison. Typically a large discrepancy is due to significant disparity in the job. People who do business with us generally feel that they have gotten their money’s worth.

HONEST.. Rather than treating the trees, it was too late in the season and he told me this. He recommended fertiizing them this summer and applying the tree infestation treatment in the spring. I agreed, They performed the work quickly, and they promised to call me in the spring at the appropriate time to do the work. I hope so, because if they do, I will have them do the required treatment.

They definitely know what they are doing and I recommend them highly. My trees looked great after they were done and they came and explained and showed me why they had to take an extra branch off as it was dying. Jim Harshberger gave me loads of advice about the trees and bushes which I appreciated. This company goes out of it's way to help the homeowner. I wish Angies List had an A+ because this company definitely deserves it.
Description of Work: Jim Harshberger's crew took down a dead birch tree and pruned the rest of my trees. I have been ill and that is why it has taken me so long to write this report.

The guy quoted me $1200 to trim 4 trees and that wouldn?t have included the removal of a lot of debris that the previous owner left behind. Price was way higher than I wanted to pay, and the guy made it seem like since he was the best rated on Angie?s we would be foolish to look elsewhere, that kind bugged me. I found another contractor who did a fantastic job at a more reasonable price.
Description of Work: As this company was the highest rated on Angie’s List I gave them a call first. I bought a house late last year and the yard had been completely neglected by the previous owner. I had 4 trees that needed to be trimmed, bushes trimmed, some bushes I wanted removed, lots of work actually.

In our experience, when there is a discrepancy between prices in our business it is usually not an “apples to apples” comparison. Typically a large discrepancy is due to significant disparity in the job specs and/or difference in the license or insurance status between providers. That said, the price quote this member mentioned did in fact include debris removal and this was clearly written out on the quote. People who do business with us generally feel that they have gotten their money’s worth. Additionally, miscommunications do occur however, as can be seen from our many other member reviews, professionalism is not something we lack.

The company returned calls and answered all of our questions. A scope of work was suggested and provided to me in writing. This included a suggested design of the work to open up the sunlight in our yard. The work was performed as scheduled. We are very happy with the results. The job was designed knowledgeably and we have gotten a great result and will not have to repeat the work again soon.

He told me the tree should come down. He steered me in the right direction to get the right price to take the tree down. He was helpful, polite and on time. I felt safe with him. He knew a lot about what he was talking about. He had a lot of information. It was pouring rain, and he came out and stood in the rain to look at my tree. Someone else might have blown it off and rescheduled.

They are also fertilizing. They trimmed back limbs of trees that are impairing the growth of plants next to them. They cut down some dead limbs as well. They treated for insects.

I called SAT to get a bid on tree removal. Jeff returned my call and came out promptly to assess the work. After we'd discussed the tree removal he walked around the property and asked if we'd ever had the front yard tree fertilized, which we hadn't in the ten years we've lived here. He reassured me that the tree was healthy (the bark looked splotchy and I'd wanted to ask someone for years but he said that's the way crabapples are). I asked for an estimate on grinding the stumps down. He left a written bid and it wasn't the cheapest of the 3 but I liked his professionalism and the bid he gave on some of the supplemental work made the whole thing appealing. When I called to schedule we found a day that worked for me-- I wanted to be home--within a couple of weeks. Jeff explained that the tree fertilizer guys would be there on a separate day, and they were, coming within a few days of my committing to the work. They did not alert me in advance but that wasn't really a problem. Luckily the guy came before I left for work or I would have had no way of knowing that work had been done. As for the rest, the team of 2 arrived early on the day scheduled. They were efficient and hard working, it was amazing to watch how they felled the trees, cut them up, and dragged them to the wood chipper. (One thing; it was pretty noisy.) As promised they cut up the smaller wood for me and left it as requested. They ground the hedge stumps, eliminating a huge eyesore for me. Jeff came by mid-day to check on their work and since I hadn't been out to speak with them I went out and got an update on what they'd done and what they had left to do. I went out again toward the end of the day and thanked them. They cleaned up the area quite well, no complaints there. Later in the day I looked at the stumps of the trees removed and realized the stump of the main tree removed wasn't as level or as low as I would have liked (I should have inspected more closely before the guys left) and the stumps of the lower trees seemed high to me also. Jeff emailed me the next day to ask if I was satisfied with the work and I mentioned this to him. He said he would come by and take a look. He came out within a few days and emailed me that he saw what I meant about the large stump, but with the smaller ones he thought they'd gotten as close as they safely could (I had separately come to the same conclusion, the smaller ones didn't look so bad upon review). He said he would send someone around to finish the large stump as soon as he could. A week or two passed and I hadn't seen anyone so I emailed him again to remind him. He said they'd been busy and it had also rained but he hadn't forgotten. Within a few more days someone came by and when I went to look from my house for where the stump was I couldn't see it, which was an excellent sign. Overall I was quite pleased with the experience and would recommend SavATree in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Tree that had fallen down during a storm was cut up and removed; some of the wood was left with us at our request. Several small-ish trees around the fallen tree (which was at the top of a hill behind the house) were also taken down, in part because it made removing the tree easier, in part because some of them would eventually grow to be in danger of falling on house. Also, had some stumps ground up that had been left from former removal of hemlock hedges. And finally, a crabapple tree and some foundation plantings were fertilized.

They showed up exactly on time, cut up the trees and moved them in pieces through the house to a chipper outside. We had to lay down plastic sheeting over the floors to protect them from the guys' boots but the guys were very tidy and I was able to clean up in about ten minutes after they left. They were very professional and efficient and did a great job.

They were great! Jeff Bourque came to my house and gave me an estimate for the work to be done. I wasn't sure if some trees would need to be removed but Jeff was very knowledgeable and respectful of my desire to remove as few trees as possible. He gave me a lot of information on the types of trees in my yard and said that they were all hard wood and deep rooted trees that are unlikely to fall or break during a storm which meant that no trees had to be removed. They showed up to do the work exactly on time and removed all tree debris. The only evidence that they had actually been there were the trimmed trees themselves; no branches were left behind! Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely hire them again.
