We've used Sav-a-tree several times since our initial service call, and have been very satisfied with them. They are very professional and knowledgeable (Ryan knows more about trees than anyone I've ever met), show up on time and get the job done. We've used them also to prune our trees and to provide a soil treatment for our withering Hemlock. They aren't the least expensive company in town, but we feel the cost meets the quality we receive from them.
Description of Work: We had a tree in our backyard fall over due to Hurricane Irene. They cut down and removed the tree.

We recently bought a house and had a number of trees that needed to be taken down, some overgrown bushes removed, as well as some pruning of other trees and plants in the yard. Though we contacted several service providers, we ultimately went with SavATree in Mountainside and are very, very pleased that we did. Aside from a high level of professionalism, the team demonstrated a very deep understanding of our yard and took the time to explain how they would get the job done. On the day of the job, the team showed up on time and dug in for a long, hard day of work. They stuck to the plan, executed beautifully and (again) took the time to make sure there was no mess left behind. My wife and I remain thrilled with the end result: our new house now looks even better than it did thanks to SavATree. Highly recommend and will gladly use again.

I have been a customer of SavATree and SavALawn for a few years. The prices are a but high but I have used other services and have found SavATree to be the best service overall. I will be using them again for pruning of an oak and treatment of a pine. I also started using the Lawn service for a hybrid organic treatment program for my lawn this year.

Ryan was very knowledgeable and patiently answered all of my questions regarding the diagnosis. I was contacted by phone the day before the job was scheduled. ( I had been given an estimated time.) The crew was efficient. All branches and dust from the wood chipper were removed. Ryan contacted me again after the job was finished.
Description of Work: An oak tree, close to 100 years old, showed signs of disease. Ryan Case, an ISA certified arborist from the Central NJ office inspected the tree and offered a plan for treatment. Several decayed branches were removed, one of which was thick and heavy enough to have crashed through the garage roof if it had broken off.

We were very happy with their service. They arrived punctually. They had a full crew. They had all the equipment that they needed and they did a very good job. They pruned everything as they said they would. They had a listing of everything we had gone through before they came and we had got prices on. They seemed very well organized. They did do a real good clean up so we were happy with them. Their prices depend on what the client wants. I had a neighbor who used them as well and she had very little done and so her price was a lot lower than mine. We had pretty extensive pruning done like cutting down of branches down and so on. So I don’t think that price should really matter. Their clean up was very good and the person who came out to look at everything ahead of time and give us a quote of what we wanted to be done, he had a degree in forestry and was very familiar with trees and shrubs. He is knowledgeable and he certainly is the tree man. They were very punctual and professional. He came several times during the day to check on his men. I thought they were quite good overall. I think their price was fair. Quality wise I really have nothing to complain about. They were very professional, they came when they said they would, they did what they said they would do and they did do a complete and speedy cleanup. I recommend them and I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: We used SavATree-Mountainside in September. They pruned a few trees, cut down a few shrubs and a few small trees. They also put a brace on a tree that had a fork in it.

We recently purchased a house that has a lot of overgrown trees. We called Savatree to come out, give us an estimate on pruning and to make some suggestions about how to deal with our lawn. We loved Steve (the arborist) and went ahead and hired Savatree on the spot. Thank goodness we did. About a day later (as Hurricane Irene approached), we got an email from the company giving us a special customer code that we could use in case of a hurricane-related emergency. And boy did we need that code. During the hurricane, a broken tree (which had been precariously dangling above the electrical service to our house) got tangled in the wires and began pulling them down. We were concerned it was going to rip the service right off and drop a live wire into our yard. I called the emergency number and immediately spoke to someone at Savatree who helped me assess the situation. Although we were not an emergency yet (unlike other folks who had trees come down on their houses), they took the situation very seriously and told me what to do if the tree succeeding in ripping the wires out. I was contacted by Steve within minutes of getting off the phone with the Savatree emergency contact person, and he made arrangements to come to the house and take care of the problem as soon as was humanly possible. The tree is now gone (thanks to Savatree), our electrical service is safe, and Savatree has some new and very dedicated customers.
Description of Work: Savatree removed a falling tree from the electrical service to our house during the the post-Hurricane Irene chaos. They did it in an incredibly timely manner and saved us from having a real disaster on our hands.

Purchased Angie's List Deal for tree service. Within 3 days received phone call from Savatree to schedule an estimate. Jody came out and analyzed the work to be done and provided written estimate that day. He seemed very knowledeable and gave a thorough description of the work. Work was scheduled to start 3 weeks from signing contract. I wasn't home to observe the whole time, but was told their crew starts up at top of tree and prune dead branches from top unlike some companies that cut just from the bottom and not do the tough work higher up. Clean up was fine but not perfect, there were still some leaves and twigs on the lawn. Final price was ok with Angie's List deal. Online payment accepted. Would use them again.

Very punctual. Brought in large heavy equipment and did it without incident or accident. The guys were pros, taking down the tree limb by limb without incident. Worked hard and long and finished in less than a day. They took away all parts of the tree. They left a lot of sawdust behind; however, they came out about a week later to feed the trees and in the process saw the saw dust and cleaned up everything without my having to ask. They also cut the stems of ivy growing on the trees and did some additional pruning on a large tree without charge for bringing back the equipment, since, the manager said, they should have seen that when they were here for the tree removal. They have well educated arborists on staff who walk the property discussing each tree, its likely health and its needs. As a result, I hired them to feed all the trees which they did for an additional several hundred dollars.
Description of Work: Removed large tree (28" diameter) that was too close to house. Later, for an additional fee, deep fed all hardwood and flowering trees on property.

We were very pleased with them. The price we paid to have the tree cut down was reasonable. They brought a big piece of equipment in, used a rope and cut it down. They dragged it away and also ground up the stump. We would tell others that we were very pleased with their service. They did lawn fertilization, over seeded and got rid of poison ivy.
Description of Work: We used Sava Tree Sava Lawn 1.5 years ago to have a tree cut down and we have been using them ever since to do seeding of our lawn and got rid of poison ivy.

The crew arrived early in the morning, so they were ready to begin work as soon as we peeked out the window and realized they were there. They worked quickly and efficiently, and were willing to pleasantly answer any question we asked them. They cleaned up as much of the "mess" created with all the cutting and chipping as was possible with rakes and blowers. The job took them approximately 4 hours to complete. They were very experienced and accommodating. I would highly recommend them, and certainly use them again if needed.
Description of Work: Cut down one large dead tree and ground stump Cut down one smaller tree and ground stump Cut down 4 small-to-medium sized mulberry trees Cut down approximately 6 sapling trees (1-2" in diameter) Trimmed several large branches from a large tree Trimmed back overhanging branches along perimeter of property Helped fill 5 garbage cans with resulting wood chips

The initial consult was smooth. Jodi was patient with our questions (we're new homeowners) and gave us detailed answers. His quote was specific. Since ours was a small job for them but required a chipper we agreed to be flexible with our schedule and they scheduled our house with a larger job. We rescheduled once or twice due to the recent winter storms. They arrived on-time the morning of the job, a crew of 4 guys went to work immediately and addressed every item on the quote. There were no surprises, no gotcha's. They were very clean, courteous, professional. We're bringing them back in the Spring to do some more work for us. They did a great job.
Description of Work: They evaluated the overall health and condition of our shrubs and trees. With our input they developed a specific plan. Some trees were trimmed to deal with safety concerns (limbs overhanging wires), others to deal with overall tree health, and a few overgrown bushes were trimmed back (though care was taken not to make them look manicured, which we didn't want). In addition - an old tree stump was designated to be routed out and one huge bush was tagged for removal.

First appointment was cancelled due to lightning weather forcast. On the day of service, 1 crew member was not available so the supervisor stayed to assist crew. There was a glitch at the start because they hadn't measured our driveway properly - so we needed to get in touch with our neighbors and get permission to park the trimming truck in their driveway. I was glad that I was there to talk to my neighbor and make sure that went smoothly. They worked diligently for hours in the rain and did a very good job on everything we discussed prior to service. They cleaned up everything in both our yard and the debris fallen in neighbors driveway and per our request chipped up our branches, etc. so we could recycle them as mulch. The supervisor also went above and beyond by removing some bags of lawn debris that we had in our garage, which saved us a lot of "disposal headaches".

Their rep showed up early in the morning before I left for work to go over the project in detail and walk around the property. He was friendly and thorough and answered all of my questions. He called me later that day to tell me the work was done. When I got back home that night, everything was cleaned up, no wood chips around, and the work was done as explained to me.
Description of Work: I had a Maple tree which rotted near the base, split and fell against another tree on President's Day. I called Savatree(and three other companies)the next morning. One never responded. The second looked at the job immediately, found a large branch on another tree that was ready to fall, and gave me a price of $2300 to take care of that and the original tree, but they would not be able to do the work for another three days. Savatree showed up later and gave me a price of $1500 to take down the tree, cut the branch on the other and prune all 5 other trees on the property. They were available to do it all the next day.

Excellent! Would use them again and recommend them without a second thought!
Description of Work: Our property had been badly neglected by prior owners. None of the large trees on the property had probably ever been trimmed! The trees were not only trimmed expertly, but a couple needed to be braced to avoid issues during high wind periods. The remainder of a tree that had fallen (actually split in half) were expertly removed, leaving no residue.

The man that came out to do the trees was an arborist. The purpose of the company is to save trees and not remove them. They came out and gave a free estimate. They prioritized the trees before they did the work. If I wanted a tree cut down and removed, I would find a cheaper place. Savatree enhances the growth of the tree and saves it.
Description of Work: I had this company come out and trim three trees. They cut the dead wood from two of the trees. On the largest tree, pin oak, they cut out the dead wood that was larger than one inch in diameter, and the water spouts.

I would highly recommend hiring SaVaTree for property assessment. A certified arborist (also with a degree in forestry) came to my property, performed a detailed assessment of tree and shrub health, and provided me with estimates for the work recommended. She was extremely informative and helpful as we walked through the property, and although I thought I understood the basics about trees, I realized that there was a lot more to know. The arborist had a qualified (and employed full-time) team to perform the work required, and she returned to the property on each work day and talked me through everything being done. The team cleaned the area to a tee, and chopped some of the wood to use as firewood. They were truly experts, and although it was more than I hoped to shell out initially, I expect the work to pay for itself when it comes time to re-sell the house.
Description of Work: The property of our new home, while it had a variety of once-lovely tree and shrub species, had not been attended to in several years. A large double oak was removed; magnolias and oaks were trimmed/pruned, rhododendrons and shrubs (eg, boxwoods) were fertilized and treated with antidessicant for the winter; trees and shrubs in un-salvageable health, or that were facilitating pest damage to exterior of home, were removed (including de-tangling a wisteria from the gutter) as per home inspector's advice.
