Tree Service

About us

A Full Service Tree Care Company - HI! My name is Mike York. I have over 14 years of experience in the tree work industry pruning and removing trees from the smallest ornamentals to the largest oaks. I have a degree in Forestry Resource Management from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN. I specialize in high quality pruning in large and ornamental trees as well as technical and everyday removals. To me tree work is not only a fun, satisfying job but gives me an opportunity to provide home owners with an understanding of the balance of tree health and aesthetic beauty. Just as important is providing hazard reduction and increasing the level of safety for the home and its inhabitants. Through this becomes a renewed value in home owners investment in our forested urban environment. I am here to build a relationship with you AND your trees. We are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should only be done by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees and of corse, no matter what anyone says…..NO TOPPING TREES!!! "The pain of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." Hire a professional arborist.

This is the second time we have used Tree Savvy and been extremely satisfied each time. The owner, Mike York, is very personable, thorough and extremely knowledgeable about trees. Mike and his crew removed a large tree that had fallen on our home as a result of the high winds....no easy feat. The work was completed with great skill and care and all debris removed neatly. I highly recommend Tree Savvy and I am very appreciative of their professional services for both maintenance and emergencies.

Hey [Member Name Removed]. We have been pulling trees off of houses for two weeks after the storms. Those two weeks have also been given me multiple full voicemail boxes, which is still full right now, over a hundred new text messages and emails and thats not including ANGIES LIST. I was unable to get to your husbands message because one man can only do so much. I do greatly apologize for not being able to spend a day at your property while there are trees on peoples homes so you can have more light for your garden. I really am. THANKS Mike

He contacted me shortly after requesting a quote. I explained that subsequent to the request for a quote, we got an offer on the home and the buyer wanted to keep the trees. He was responsive and professional and friendly. Would use him again if I needed services.

After initial contact, didn't hear a peep about any interest in providing an estimate for the job. But, then they showed up unannounced to look over the job and after interrupting my afternoon and asking me to show them the job, they didn't bother to provide an estimate. I guess they only want to do pricey tree removal jobs. I will never bother to call them again!

We greatly apologize for your inconvenience, [Member Name Removed]. One of the things that we pride ourselves on doing, is exceptional work for all people and all job sizes. Its unfortunate that you didn't get to experience that. We have been quite overwhelmed this year with the number of calls coming in. While this is not an excuse for our unresponsiveness, I hope that the 70 A ratings we have on Angie's List will provide you with some solace. Once again I apologize for interrupting your afternoon.

I was already planning to call when a freak storm took down several trees in mine and my neighbor’s yards. Mike came out to look around and provide a quote. He clearly knows his stuff and spotted a dangerous problem with one of the larger trees that I hadn’t noticed, where the trunk was splitting from the top down. He answered a lot of questions, gave honest advice, and provided what I feel was a very fair price. He came back the next day with his crew and they spent several hours completing the work. Mike and his crew are conscientious and hardworking, and I will not hesitate to recommend them to others. They did a great job in every aspect, including final cleanup.

Mike and his team did excellent work. They are professional and highly skilled, as the nature of this job dictates. I appreciated the time, care and attention paid to the safety of our home, as well as to their own safety. I will be calling on Mike in the future, as we have many mature trees that periodically require the services of a professional arborist.

I could not be happier with the work Mike and his crew did. It took a while for the work to start because it was right around all of the snow and ice, but Mike stayed in touch and kept me updated regularly. When the weather finally allowed, they worked quickly and left absolutely zero mess behind. The price was comparable to other quotes I received, but his responsiveness won me over. I would definitely use them again.

Called on a Saturday morning to schedule a quote. Mike showed up later that day to inspect the work to be done. We scheduled the work for the end of the month because he was very busy, which was understandable for the time of year that it was. The crew showed up a couple of weeks later and worked very fast. They were very professional and cleaned up all the debris. The stump crew showed up a day later to perform their work. I will definitely use them in the future.

They were friendly, on schedule and took the time to speak to the landscape company to see what they needed for replanting. They use a separate stump grinder and made to sure to come back to haul away the shaving piles. Well done!

Mike is amazing! He came out to my house to look at several trees that were turning brown. I didn't have to wait long for the appointment. He was out at my house 3 hours after he responded to my Angie's List message. He also didn't charge me a dime. That's great customer service! You can be sure I'm going to use Mike again when the need arises. :)

These guys were amazing. They cut done and trimmed tons of trees along our old fence line in order to put up a new wood fence. The job took 2 full days - These guys got here early and left late, working in 95+ degree heat and cleaned up all the debris and whatnot. I highly recommend.

Three MONTHS later he called and said "Is it okay if we come out tomorrow to do the work?" I was dumbfounded - three months had gone by with no communication and he acted like it had been three days. Obviously I had already contracted the work with someone else. When I explained that I wasn't using his service due to the length of time that had passed since the work was supposed to be done he said, "yeah, we've been pretty busy". Too busy for a follow up phone call to reschedule? Very unprofessional.
Description of Work: I called to make an appointment for an estimate. The person I talked to said he was on his way out of town and promised to call me back to schedule an appointment on Monday. Then a week went by and he called to say he was going out of town again but we did schedule an appointment. He came by and gave me a quote and said he could do the work in three weeks.

Hey (Removed member name). Well, I guess there is simply not much I can say about this other than, my apologies. This summer has be a first for us as far as business goes. We have been far busier than we have ever been. I apologize for putting you in a position where you have found so much animosity towards us. It is very difficult to accurately estimate the time it will take to get out to a job in this industry where there are so many variables that depict out schedule; weather, storm damage clean up, heat, jobs that require immediate attention vs. simple pruning and maintenance, etc. Having a small crew like mine does not help that. This is why I always end my emails with "Be sure to let me know if you have any questions or concerns." Communication works both ways in this situation and although my lack of that with you is ultimately and definitely my fault I can't help but regret this couldn't have been resolved differently. We are growing almost faster than I can handle at the moment and I apologize with all my heart that you had to be a by standard in that process. Even though this incident looks poorly upon myself, I will use this as a lesson to further my communication skills with my future clients and continue to put forth the high level of service we normally do. Thanks for the review, I hope all went well with the company you had do the work. Sincerely, Mike

Mike gave me an estimate and said he would be available in a month to do the work. I had to call him back as the time was approaching and he told me that he dumped all of my info from his data base. Said it was his mistake and he would get to me in quick order. I had to call him again after 3 weeks as he had not called me. I left him a message and told him I would find somebody else to do the work. He had the gall to call me today and tell me that he could do the work in another 2 months, which would have made it 3 months after he first promised he would do the work..

Hey there Mr. [Member name removed]. First, I would like to again apologize for the mix up with your job. You have a really neat tree and I was looking forward to climbing in it. I can understand the frustration in your situation, however your review, from my point of view, seems skewed. I think that treeSAVVY is the busiest we have ever been right now, I answer up to 10 new calls a day. I got a call from a client who I almost positivity remember being Mr. [Member name removed] saying he was selling the house and the services would not be needed. Hence the "mix up". I never said I "dumped your information" however I did remove the work order from my work folder. When you called me back I was as surprised as you were and had every intention of getting to you as soon as I could. Unfortunately, my schedule at that point was very full and couldn't make room immediately. Not to mention I was injured and not climbing at the time. Up to this point I was still under the impression that my services were no longer needed. After listening to your rude message I wanted to discuss doing the work after the 4th of July holiday but you interrupted me and said you were getting someone else to complete the job. I said at the moment we were two months out not that I wouldn't be able to get to you for two months. My "gall" was an attempt to save face with you and make the situation right. Once again I can understand your frustration and anger and for that we at treeSAVVY are very sorry. I wish there was something I could do. Good luck with the company you chose to complete the job. I am sure they will do a great job. THANKS Mike

The quote meeting went very well. All details worked out and cost was very good. Two guys showed up and in about 3 1/2 hours were done with a truck loaded to the top with clippings. I watched the two guys work for about 1/2 hour. These guys were good, very good. I really enjoyed watching them work, it was like they had rehearsed these seven trees coming out to perfection.

We placed a house under contract in early March (2015) which is situated on 5 wooded acres. We contacted treeSAVVY (Mike York) through Angie's List. Mike was very responsive and met me in early April for an assessment of all the trees close to the house. It was clear from our discussions that he not only is an accomplished arborist, but is also a genuine individual. We were convinced after a detailed discussion with him that he would only do what was necessary to protect our home and the health of the many trees near the house. We closed at the end of April and Mike and his crew came out and did a wonderful job of removing three large trees, clearing ivy from another, and trimming a number other trees. He and his crew were punctual and professional and provided a valuable service.

Mike and team were on time and very efficient. They were all very professional and did a great job. In addition to what is mentioned above they also took the remaining limb down from a large maple that had some trouble in the ice storm this year. While doing so they realized I wanted a couple thin slabs from it for a project or two and they cut as many as I wanted and would have kept going. They all answered any questions I had and were more than willing to offer free advice. Once done they cleaned up every bit of what was left from their work as well as a very considerable amount of other junk in my yard with no complaint or question. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will be using them in the future for the rest of the pines i need to keep taking down. I had bid this out to a few people and have no concerns that I chose the right one.
Description of Work: Mike and team took down 4 trees. Two were very large pines that were in fairly difficult spots, one was a small-medium black walnut in a very tight spot, and the last was an old redbud that was pretty much dead and easy to access.

The removal work went well once it began, but getting to start-up took some time because there was initially some confusion about scheduled work dates. However, after that, Mike York and his treeSAVVY team did a first rate, well-planned job in a small yard with constricted access and BIG trees. It took the 4-person team 2 full work days (16+ hours elapsed time; about 130 person hours) to do the removals carefully, to remove the trees and limbs from the yard, and to clean up the resulting detritus. The entire team was friendly and professional and paid attention to their tasks and worked together well. We are pleased with treeSAVVY's work and professional approach.
Description of Work: Removed 6 large trees (diameter up to 30 inches; height up to 50+ feet) from back yard.
