They are very responsive and have done a good job for me. They took samples of my box woods and sent them to their laboratory and they returned with a formula that needed to be done with the box woods. I don't think it is cheap, but it's a good value. I feel I am getting what I want for the price.
Description of Work: Sav-a-Tree evaluated, pruned and fertilized the trees in my yard. They also sprayed the leaves for lead disease.

They had a coupon; it was an Angie's List Deal. The guy that came out was very knowledgeable in terms of being an arborist. He knew how to properly trim trees. I told him what I wanted and that I just wanted general shaping. There was no time crunch for them to come out. They cleaned up and hauled everything away. The person that came out to do the work was very interested in making sure that I was okay with everything. They lived up to their rating. They were a little pricey because they were a little over what I had estimated but I don't do a lot of tree service. It was probably right in line with a professional service that had the right skilled people. He called me right away after I got the coupon. They were waiting for me for the initial meeting. They did a great job.

The overall grade would be an "F" except that Dave is polite and professional on the telephone. The email terminating our service gives the best explanation of my experience with Sav-a-Tree: Hello Dave, I was disappointed after our conversation last week that all I received was a "Tell us how we are doing!" post card from the person who FINALLY arrived to put pre-emergent on our lawn. When I started using Save-a-Tree for lawn maintenance 8 months ago you told me it would take a year or so for the lawn to improve. I did not expect, with the aeration & re-seeding done last fall, that there would be new bare patches in the middle of the lawn. I did not expect to have to complain in order to get your company to apply pre-emergent according to weather conditions, not the calendar. (Yes, we had a mild winter; no, an existing customer should not be put off 6 weeks after you've started services, when the chickweed has already gone to seed.). Most of all, I did not expect to find grubs in the lawn when I pulled some of the worst of the weeds waiting for you. In short, my lawn is in worse shape than when we began. Our relationship is terminated; we no longer wish to receive any services from your company.
Description of Work: All lawn care except mowing; that is, weed control, feeding, aeration & overseeding, etc.

Response from SavATree DC Metro & VA
It is encouraging to hear this member recall our professional opinion that it would take an entire year before the lawn would improve. Although it is difficult to be patient, a professional lawn care service is essentially trying to change the growing environment to make it more palatable to thick healthy grass. Our services are performed during the optimal windows without fail, as per our state-of-the-art routing system which is regularly adjusted to deal with current weather conditions. Unfortunately this member did not water their lawn as needed, so we saw a combination of not enough time with a high quality program, and not enough water – which produced less than optimal results. Again, weeds, grubs and bald spots would have been less prevalent with a full year of treatment and the appropriate amount of water.

Work was performed professionally and as scheduled.
Description of Work: SavATree came out to the house punctually and provided a quote on cutting down dead trees and cutting up and removing fallen trees. After accepting the quote, SavATree performed the work consisting of falling and cutting up about 6-8 small to medium size trees and removing an old wood pile.

As of right now, I cannot recommend the lawn service arm of this company. Dealing with them has been a series of miscommunication, mistaken application of chemicals, no-show for appointments, ever-changing employees, apologies and promises aplenty, but the jury is still out on the quality of action. After 35 years of taking care of my own lawn, I first contacted SavATree SavALawn last August for an estimate for lawn disease control. They suggested an organic program of disease control and fertilizer and explained why. I bought their explanation, but when I recontacted to begin service, the employee making the recommendations had left the company and no one was aware of what he had planned nor why. I had to start all over with a new employee and eventually received the first disease treatment in the early fall. When it was time for the second treatment in early October, the technician mistakenly applied weed killer which killed grass seedlings sprouting from my over seeding some three weeks prior. More than $100 of grass seed gone. They apologized profusely and promised to do "whatever it takes" to correct the situation. So far so good. Another new employee engaged my account and In about two weeks, they over seeded my lawn as compensation, but it was too late in the season for any meaningful germination. This new employee promised another free over seeding in the spring along with free pre-emergent that is compatible with seeding. Sounded reasonable. Fast forward to this spring. I had heard nothing from them at all so I called after seeing their competitors throughout my neighborhood. Two new employees (to me anyway) - a branch manager an newly hired account rep -- visited, apologized again, and said they would do "whatever it takes" to correct the past mistake. Let's wait and see the quality of the correction before I agree to spend more money.

It is always difficult to get used to someone else managing your lawn care when you have been doing it yourself! This members lawn had many challenges, and we began in earnest at the end of the season in 2011, explaining that full benefit would not be seen until the following (this) year. We have and will continue to work with this member to bring his lawn up to the quality that he is hoping for.

The work team was extremely accommodating. Came once and my lawn service had not cut grass short enough. No big deal for them -they returned later. I was very impressed that they used a piston-driven machine in addition to the drum design. Went over lawn 4-5 times. Wow! Looking for another Angie offer, as I can't afford their regular price.

They came out and gave us an estimate for continually treating the lawn and for off season a different option. My husband asked them about how much would it cost for just trimming some trees. They would continue giving you information if you want to have treatment or just explain summer and fall treatments. They were very nice. They called right away and set up the appointment. They would come back to you if there was any information that you wanted. They were very responsive. Their regular price was great because that was one of the deals that came on Angie’s list.

My initial call was returned promptly. The estimate appointment was made for the day requested. The estimator arrived on time, was knowledgeable, professional, took his time reviewing the work to be done and provided an on the spot price. The work could not be scheduled for a specific date but he said they would call in 2 weeks to firm one up. Two weeks later he called and scheduled an exact date. The workers showed up on time, worked hard, performed the work, cleaned up the yard and asked me to review everything before they left. The trees looked much better than I expected. Two days later another worker came out and ground out the stumps. I couldn't have had a better experience.

We were very happy with the work they did. We have very high oak trees and they got right up there and did a good job. They didn't take too much off or too little, just the right amount. They are costly, but worth the service you get.

I think they did a nice job. We thought that the price was reasonable, but it could always have been lower. The crew was very professional, especially the foreman. He really seemed to know and love trees. They didn’t seem like a bunch of people that tipped off all the tree corners. They seemed like people who were knowledgeable and the foreman in particular seemed like he had a lot of training. The equipment they used seemed to be first rate. They got everything cleaned up. I asked them to shred the wood and leave it. They left that at our request.

It is a very good company and I would highly recommend them. They were consummate pros. It was a nice service. They surveyed the property and told us what we needed to do. They didn't try and sell us extra bells and whistles. Everyone who works for them is a company employee and they don't contract the work out. The work they did was nice and they followed up well. I cannot comment on the quality of their work since I haven't worked with other arborists but it looks very nice. The price was a bit high. It was a very good experience.

I was very pleased with what they did. They did a very good job. I wasn’t there when they came for the service. However, when I came home I saw that they had done a very good job. I didn’t see the workers; I only talked to them over the phone to set up the appointment. I was at work when they came here. It was a small tree and it needed to be trimmed away from my house and my neighbor’s property. The quality of work was good. They charged me an additional $48. They explained why they did that. It was fine. I don’t have any complaints about them. It was a very simple job and they did well. They were quick to respond. They came when they said they were going to come. I don’t know if they came on time, because I was not home. I do know that they are a bit expensive and they charge higher than the other companies I saw. However, it doesn’t matter, because they came out for a small job. I would use them again.

A date was scheduled and cancelled by the company then rescheduled to occur within the following week which it did. Although we had discussed the work to be done in detail, and the arborist had been very explicit in his description that what I wanted done to the large boxwood hedge would be a radical change, I readily accepted the possibility that it might not be "pretty." Within the week I arrived home one afternoon to find the work had been done. The two Azaleas were trimmed as promised and were perfectly fine; however, boxwood, rather than the radical change imagined, was merely trimmed around the edges mimicking its original "blob-like" shape. The next day I called SavATree and they were very responsive in their eagerness to correct the problem. Unfortunately, they failed to show for the promised assessment and fix the next week after which followed a comedy-of-errors (with my own share of fault) ending in their correcting the problem three months later. Everyone I dealt with was polite and professional; and yet the pace of action was slow. Although the work finally completed was satisfactory it was a frustrating experience which I would not care to repeat.
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for $140 for $300 worth of tree or lawn work. Discussing what I needed done it was determined that it exceeded the Big Deal time limit and so I agreed to pay an additional $90 for the following services; trimming one Boxwood Hedge reducing it in shape 2 feet on top and 1 foot on the sides, and two Azaleas reducing it in shape by 8" to 10" on the longer ends.

They have a program where they have six treatments over the summer and it is $100 a treatment. They also do other services if one wants. They had an arborist that I talked to at the beginning that I really liked and I thought he was good and understood what I was trying to do to the lawn. He is gone, unfortunately. I have mixed feelings about them. I was trying to decide this morning, in fact, whether to keep using them or not. In terms of what they do, it is expensive. The lawn is better but I am not sure if it was worth a lot of money that we were spending with them. That is the first time I am using a lawn company and I don’t have anything to compare the prices to. The quality of their work is hard to say, I don’t know how it will look like six months later. They came when they said they were going to come. They were very prompt and were very good about notifying us. They show up and people that come seem to be very professional. I don’t have any real complaints. My only question is if it is worth the money, which I haven’t decided yet. They show up and do everything. They are nice people and know what they are doing. It is hard to judge their work because one does not get to see instant results. I would have to wait till next summer when I would reap the benefits of what we did this year. I haven’t decided whether I am going to use them again or not.

They did a great job aerating. We bought the Big Deal with them. They did the aeration and that was good. My only gripe was that they seemed to put me on the list for their lawn maintenance. They called me a few weeks later and said that my next lawn treatment was scheduled. I had not scheduled any lawn treatment and I told them that I had not. I would give them a ‘C’ for professionalism because they tried to give me a service that I didn’t ask for. The quality of their work was very good.

This is the BEST treet service we have ever had, unequivocally! I had reminded neighbors not to park too closely that day, but Savatree came out a day ahead and posted signs as a reminder, which was a great help. They also removed the signs, along with every leaf, twig and branch, when they were finished. They brought along everything that was needed: a large truck with a chair lift to reach the high branches, saws and limb cutters, blowers, rakes, and a chipper to mulch the debris. They shaped the tree beautifully--if has not been this globular since it was new. There are no longer branches touching outside wires--a comfort to have this done before impending winter ice storms, as well as away from our house, where rubbing branches caused a roofing problem we had to repair earlier this year. The crew was prompt, professional, efficient, and did a wonderful trim job. And cleaned up afterwards. They picked up every fallen leaf and twig, and did not even disturb the expensive rubber mulch we had in place. Our cherr tree has not looked this attaractive, ever.
Description of Work: We had a large 30-foot tree in the front of our house trimmed. Not for the first time, but for the first time using SAVATREE--and they were fantastic. Service included cutting and removal of branches touching the house, power, and phone lines, and clean up of debris.
