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.

After meeting with several other tree cutting companies, we decided on treeSAVVY. Mike and his team are one of the best service providers that we have ever worked with. This was our first time getting trees cut down and we were extremely nervous especially with our pine tree. Our pine tree was much taller than our house and if it fell, it would have hit our house or the neighbors. Mike was able to ease our worries and was always available to answer our questions. I would recommend them in a heart beat to anyone that needed a tree cut down or pruned. We are planning to cut down some more trees in our backyard in the next year or two and will hire them again.
Description of Work: Pruned two very large trees in the backyard. Cut down two tress in the front yard including an extremely tall pine tree in an awkward place. Also ground the stumps down of the two trees that were cut.

I had 3 out of control trees (cedar, pine). One growing too close to the house with branches on the roof and entangled in the power/service lines. The other two along the street also involved in lines. I didn't want them trimmed, I wanted them removed. I was concerned about a tree being cut down growing so close to the house, the a/c unit and the neighbor's fence. I called for an estimate, on Monday or Tuesday (really cannot remember) by Thursday afternoon my trees were gone. Mike was great! House intact, neighbor's fence intact, nothing left behind for me to clean up..... Awesome! Couldn't be happier.

We have recently purchased a home and the trees were in need of some attention. Some of the trees required more work than others but we knew we did not want any drastic tree topping or other extreme cutting. My husband and I met with owner Mike York, who actually came out on a Sunday to accommodate our schedule. We felt confident after we talked with Mike that his approach was compatible with our goal, which was to enhance the trees and trim them in a way that would maximize their health. This entailed cutting out dead limbs, thinning out branches and shaping the trees away from the house. Mike and his crew were on time, professional and worked efficiently. All the debris (considerable) was completely removed. For all the limbs on the ground, our trees did not look "cut"...they are wonderfully shaped so that, even without leaves, our trees look beautiful! I would not hesitate to recommend treeSAVVY. We are very pleased with Mike's work, we appreciate his skill (and that of his crew) and look forward to having him continue to care for our trees in the future.
Description of Work: Trimmed trees surrounding our home, which included removing dead limbs, shaping, and thinning out overgrowth.

I interviewed three highly rated compaines on Angie's list. All three were professional, punctual and knowledgeable. Mike York with Tree Savvy spent the most time with me and his price quotes were less expensive than the other two companies. Ultimately the decision was made on price as we had a strict budget to work with. Mike York and his team were excellent. He worked with me on the start-date and kept in communication with me as the day approached. We watched the weather and stuck with our original date. I do recommend having a few open days to have the work done as the weather may dictate when the actual work can happen. The day before the work was to start, Mike and his team came by the day before to lay down large track of plywood sheets from my driveway to the largest tree to avoid trenching my yard with their equipment. On the day of the job, they arrived on time and we went over the job list in detail one more time. His team was professional and took their work seriously. I added on two more items to the list when they were there and Mike gave me very reasonable quotes to handle both. It was great that he was flexible. His team finished the job on time and cleaned up the site to my satisfaction. I will use Tree Savvy again without a doubt.
Description of Work: Removed one large Siberian Elm. Trimmed one large Sugar Maple and use cable supports to tie two large limbs together in case one should fall it would not hit the house. Removed two large Holly Trees. Trimmed back the Crepe Myrtle and cut the dead wood out of an old Dogwood in the front yard. Also, 3 large and 3 medium sized bushes were removed. The next day, all of the stumps were ground down.

Thank you so much for the positive comments [member name removed]! Working is made much easier by clients like you. Tree work, is a teamwork deal. Not only by myself and the crew, but by the myself and the homeowner as well. Having a client that is willing to be and understands the importance of being flexible in the onset of potential external factors is greatly appreciated. The same is to be said for myself. I am also glad you were impressed with the crew. I know they had a lot of fun working in your trees. I have been very proud of them this year. We look forward to hearing from you in the future!!! THANKS Mike

Thanks for the kind words! We always strive to do a thorough clean up job. In my opinion, the state of the area in which we work needs to be left in better condition than when we arrived. Its all about quality. After spending money on something like tree work, its nice to look out at your trees and yard and know you spent the fruits of your labor wisely. A thorough clean up job is a necessary step in achieving this. I am glad you noticed and are happy with the work! THANKS

I contacted Mike at Tree Savvy after finding a deal on AL. I had spoken w/ or had had 3 other estimates by the time I found Mike. He was very easy to talk to, never trying to speak over my head. We scheduled a time for him to come and look at my trees, which are all large old trees in an old Madison neighborhood. My desire was to save all the trees and make them safe and clean around my roof and gutters. Mike enjoys what he does, is very knowledgeable and was very patient with all of my questions...I ask a lot. Once I decided that I liked what Mike and I had talked about we scheduled a time for him to get the job done. He called when he was on his way. Him and his crew were on time. I was not home for most of the job but came home right as they were finishing. They did everything that we had spoken about (a month prior) and actually a little more. I was stunned at how clean and neat they left my yard after all of the work that was done. What they did has made a huge improvement in the look of my home and yard. I would recommend Tree Savvy to anyone. Punctual, communicative, professional and clean. Everything that you can hope for when hiring out work at your home.
Description of Work: Trimmed all limbs overhanging roof. Cleaned up deadwood on all trees surrounding house. Cabled a multi-trunk tree in order to preserve rather than cut down. Cut down two dead trees. Hauled away all debris.

First of all, Savvy responded right away to my request for service. We set a time, Mike came out, walked the property with me, and reviewed the work to be done , giving me an estimate of the cost.. He told me it would be 2-3 weeks before he could get bk, which was fine...there were no emergencies. He and two other men did the work today and did just a fabulous job. The grinding of two stumps is still to be done, but that is by a different crew and will completed in the next two days. Mike even responded to my request for removal of another of a couple other dead branches....without charging me! Would highly recommend!!!
Description of Work: Removal of a very large pear tree that had previously split and could not be saved, removal of a dead weeping willow, removal of several dead branches from about five trees, grinding of three stumps.

I was extremely happy with the work they did and the fee was much less that what a comparable tree service charged me for similar services performed less well several years ago.
Description of Work: Mike and his crew removed the dead wood and appropriately thinned interior limbs from two large Yoshino Cherry trees, a red maple, and a Bradford Pear tree, They lifted the canopy of a large Zelcova and huge Southern Magnolia. They also cut back limbs overhanging the boarder fence from the neighboring property that were negatively affecting the growth of the Bradford Pear tree. Mike also installed a cable in the Zelcova that would prevent the tree from splitting through the trunk and falling on my home. They cleaned up all the branches and left the yard in excellent condition and while trimming they took care to not trample the underlying planting beds.

He didn't show up on the first scheduled appointment. A few days later, he called and said he could come on Tuesday, and I told him that I would call him to let him know if the date we were talking would work for me. I called and he didn't answer my call, so I left a message, and no return call from him for many days. I contacted him again, and scheduled another appointment. He couldn't come again, because his truck was broke. He said he is not sure how long it would take to fix the problem. A week has been gone since then, and no update from him. I am very tired waiting around, and just want to cancel the service and get a refund.

Unfortunately, I was unable to make the first meeting as I was over whelmed with work and only can look at so many jobs in one day. At the time of our first meeting [Member Name Removed] was in a great hurry to get the job done. We discussed the job and what she wanted to do with her yard in the future. I told her we were very backed up, and even though there were dozens of other clients in front of her, we would try to get her in on a Thursday. Unfortunately, we were not able to make it due to some rain and not enough staff to complete the job in a timely manner. On the next scheduled date to complete the job, my chipper truck had a triple computer malfunction the previous afternoon rendering the truck useless, spending a week in the dealership shop, and the business at a standstill. I called her that evening knowing we had already had to cancel one date, explain the situation and as for her patience, as that was all I could do. The truck was picked up and back in action on Tuesday August 5th. I called [Member Name Removed] the morning of Wednesday August 6th to complete her job, she did not pick up and I left her a voicemail. Tree work is very dependent upon many external factors which is why ALL dates to complete jobs are tentative. It is extremely unfortunate and with much regret that we were unable to give the high quality and professional work that so many other Angie's List members have enjoyed from treeSAVVY Professional Arborists. Once again [Member Name Removed], my apologies.

Mike is a very talented arborist. I was quite amazed how easily he climbed trees (I live on a hill and a cherry picker could not access them) 40- feet off the ground and removed dead limbs, trimmed and shaped the trees. He has great eqipment, is very professional with extensive knowledge and is competitively priced. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike York to anyone that needs tree work; I will continue to use him for all my future needs!

Being on a tight budget, I asked Mike if he would safely cut the branches and get them to the ground without damaging our new roof, and permit me to do the grunt work to cut them up and dispose of the debris, to keep my costs to a minimum. Mike was totally open to that, not to mention the best price that I found anywhere! (I even checked with a really back woods, unlicensed, uncertified trimmer, who was almost twice the cost of Mike AND Mike is an Arborist, is extremely knowledgable about plant life, and participated in only ethical and Eco-friendly practices.) Mike's business practices were first rate, he provided me with a written estimate in advance and a professional invoice upon completion. Mike showed-up when expected and kept his commitments. His crew was well equipped, extremely polite, and genuinely friendly. I enjoyed having them work on our property, they saved me a pile of cash, and I couldn't be happier with the results of their work! This company is a rising star!

I highly recommend Mike! I called Mike the morning after a major ice storm in which a tree fell and blocked out driveway. Not only did he promptly come to assist in this urgent clearing within an hour of calling, he also expertly used his chainsaw in a safe and efficient manner. This was a HUGE tree, and he made quick work of it in less than an hour. If you need something done right, call Mike.
Description of Work: Mike cleared a downed tree that blocked my driveway due to the recent ice storm damage for a reasonable hourly rate. He chainsawed the downed tree into small sections and then assisted in moving the debris off the driveway to allow for entry/exit from the garage, so that my wife could go to work.
