We called SavATree, and several other companies, to get an estimate for the removal of a dead tree. A big part of the tree had broken off during a wind storm, and was resting on wires between ours and the neighbor's property. SavATree came out, surveyed the damages and provided our neighbor with a reasonable estimate. Although she went with another company, I am sure, given SavATree's professionalism, they would have done a great job. read more

We had a huge tree, old and sickly in the back of our yard that needed to come down. We called around and got several estimates. We chose to go with SaveATree. We read reviews, and the salesperson that came gave us confidence that they knew what they were doing. The salesperson walked us through on what to expect for the entire procedure. We were told it's going to be a two day job, that plywood would be laid down all the way to the tree so that the cherry picker and other machinery wouldn't damage our lawn, removal of logs, and grinding of the remaining stump. The date was set, it was a Friday. The workers come out around 8 am; there was a delay to start the work due to unforeseen circumstances. No plywood was laid down. The cherry picker was driven into the yard and positioned. The work started. The guys were very careful as to not damage our fence, or our neighbors's garage. 3:30pm they start to pick everything up because they were instructed by their supervisor to stop working. We were expecting them to be back the next day (oh, but they don't work on the weekends we find out), so then on Monday. A storm system came through knocked down many trees over that weekend; and we are told the crew cannot come back. They scheduled us for 3 weeks out; there wasn't anything they could do because it was an emergency due to the storms. So now we are left with half a tree, a mountain of logs on our grass in the front. Three weeks pass and they come back. The rest of the tree is cut down. Some of the smaller logs and branches are put through a chipper; the other ones that were too large would be picked up by another crew. Our lawn from the street all the way to the back yard had been massacred. Their supervisor came at the end of the day and was telling us that a guy will come out to grind the stump, and all the damage to the lawn would be fixed; they would aerate and seed it . Finally, a day or two later a truck pulls up and starts to load up the heavy logs. We get billed the remaining balance. I send an email stating that we prefer to pay the balance once the lawn is repaired. I asked for confirmation of this. No one ever got back to me. A week went by and my husband decided to pay the remaining balance. I reach out to them once again about a date for the lawn. It takes days to get a response; we finally get a response, but not from the salesperson we had been dealing with, but with another individual. They reply that they are working on getting a date set. No other communication after that. Our lawn used to be beautiful and now it looked a mess . No one has ever gotten back to us. Weeks later, I received an email with a bill attached for an additional $400-something with the original description from our first invoice. I emailed them once again asking for clarification. No reply. This is absolutely unacceptable. At this point, I don't want them back to do anything to the lawn. We tried to be understanding and patient with them; in the beginning, there was constant communication, until there was none; not holding up their end of the lawn repair is unacceptable. After all this....i would not recommend this company. read more

In 2024, I hired SavATree for a one-time ash tree treatment and paid the invoice in full. I was never told I was enrolling in a recurring service, never signed a contract, and never knowingly agreed to future treatments. In June 2026, they treated my tree while I was at work without calling, texting, mailing, or otherwise confirming I wanted the service. I only found out after receiving a $400 invoice. When I contacted the office, I was told I had made a verbal agreement in 2024, which I dispute because no recurring service was ever explained to me. I also found a proposal email that I had never opened before the work was completed. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and notified my attorney. Please make sure you fully understand what you're agreeing to before using this company. read more

Their Tampa location was trimming my next door neighbors trees when I see the lift operator driving/turning tearing up my wet lawn leaving ruts 6" deep. I went outside to ask them to stop and operator/foreman refused to give me his name. I had to turn on my sprinklers to keep them from further damage. I called the company number(some central office) and was told my complaint would be forwarded to their Tampa office. That was a week ago with no response. I would never use them since they have no regard for property rights read more

We bought a very specific, low-cost, one-time service last year, then were charged for the service again this year and were told that we were called 3 times (we were not) to let us know we were bound to that specific service annually. We were also told we were sent an email informing us that we would be charged annually...the email says nothing like that. Thankfully, our credit card company is helping us, but we wish we would have checked recent reviews before hiring....just not a respectable way to do business. read more

Save your time and avoid Savatree. I originally called them on 8/23/24 to ask for a quote to have some shrubs trimmed. They told me, "no problem, we'll have someone come out on 8/30 @ 1:30PM". Fast forward to 8/30 and the arborist shows up at 10:51AM without any advanced notice (they did not give a window previously, it was stated as 1:30PM). Thankfully I had decided not to go shopping in the morning, so I was home to meet him. The arborist himself was OK and seemed knowledgeable enough when asked questions. Since 8/30 was the Friday before Labor Day the arborist mentioned that the quote might take a few extra days due to the holiday. OK, no problem. Labor Day comes and goes and I patiently check my email daily. I'm not seeing any quotes and I'm worried I somehow missed it. I check my spam, deleted emails, etc., nothing from Savatree or the arborist. Finally 9/9 (a full week after Labor Day) and I still see nothing. The arborist gave me his card, so I sent an email asking about the status of my quote at the end of 9/9. Crickets. Nothing at all for another week. I finally got fed up and called a competitor and received a same day quote and service 2-days later. I never did hear back from Savatree. It's clear that they did not want my business which would have been fine had they just told me that. What I didn't appreciate is having my time wasted, and advise you to stay away as well. read more

One of the worst home improvement experiences I have had in decades! Though Micheal was nice and the work eventually got done, the corporation is rotten. One delay after another. More than $700 for an hours work. But what's worse, they double billed us!!! I am now going through the dispute process with my card company. I have tried to remove our card information from their 'portal' with no success. Worried about more "billing errors" now. Avoid SaveATree like a virus! read more

We had a large fir tree in our backyard uproot partially during this recent winter storm. Within one day of calling SavATree, they came out and secured the tree by tying it off to two other healthy trees in our yard. Soon after they came out and took the tree down, which was amazing to watch. IF not for Nat and his team we could have been looking at six figures in home repair from the damage the tree would have done to our house. Nat and his Crew were friendly, professional, and extremely competent. I've used them before and I will use them again for any of our future tree needs. read more

requested to top three small pear trees which should take less than an hour to complete. We were billed in excess of $900 for this service. That is not good value. Be very careful as they did not make an adjustment after several conversation . We have canceled our account and will not use them again. read more

Jason came out from the Northbrook, IL Office to assess my 4 trees. He told me what, the tree trimmers would do. Told me they were scheduling 2 weeks out. He called me back about a week later, saying they had an opening the same afternoon if I was available. Yes! Jadon arrived with the 2 tree trimmers. After confirming exactly what was to be cut, they proceeded. My yard looks wonderful! All 4 trees were trimmed and all branches were put into the chipper. They raked and removed all the trimmings. I would highly recommend SavATree read more

I am in a huge HOA in woodridge. I'm concerned about the lack of supervision of the tree trimmers. This year, they are going back and lopping off tree limbs from the exact same trees as last year. This past week I noticed to my complete horror that they lopped off 2 entire limbs from the perfectly beautiful tree that my back patio faces. No reasoning behind this whatsoever. Our management company,, MC Property, doesn't seem to care. this is a huge waste of our money here in the Association not to mention the damage to our beautiful trees, many of which are lopsided because of the damage being done by Sav-A-Tree over the years. I would not recommend them if you belong to a condo association because this company will definitely take advantage and use of your monthly HOA towards destruction. read more

We got a tree from SavATree. Excellent service - they responded to my inquiry right away, sourced the tree we wanted, and delivered it when they said they would.

SavATree sprayed a tree (via a high pressure hose) on the border of two properties with no attention to safety or prior warning. I am the neighbor of the property being sprayed and my garden door, house, windows, raised bed, and path to garage received a direct soaking from an unknown chemical mix. This happened at 8:30 a.m. when I typically take my daughter to school. The family missed getting a direct spray to the face and eyes as we were walking out of the house only by chance. I had to shout at the SavATree arborist to get him to stop spraying where we were about to walk, which he was reluctant to do. This was not a case of pesticide drift, but instead someone not caring what and where he sprayed. He had no awareness of what the direct spray was hitting beyond the fence on the property he was servicing. He did not announce himself, shout out a warning, or contact us beforehand. Our vegetable garden was soaked with pesticides that we did not want - SavATree could have protected this area with a tarp, or done a basic check of the area before spraying indiscriminately. The SavATree arborist told me that it was my responsibility to contact his company with a request to be alerted about spraying (as if I have magical powers to predict the future). He told me that he would get in trouble if he looked over garden gates and fences before spraying. Only by calling the company repeatedly was I able to find out what chemicals were sprayed on our property (and very nearly on us). After four telephone calls to Northbrook office, I finally was able talk to someone about my complaint (managers had the receptionist pretend they were busy, promised callbacks "soon" that never happened, told voicemails had been left with me, etc.). Eventually, Ryan told me that he could not change what had happened but could put an alert on my neighbor's account. He did not seem to care that their business practices are unsafe and cavalier. He told me this was the first time he had heard of this type of problem and kept on calling me "buddy." He offered to send someone round in a week to wash the pesticide off out fruit and vegetables. Obvious that he and the arborist do not care. I was told by both that this was no different to having to wash fruit and vegetables purchased from the grocery store. My grocery store does not hose down the customers with disinfectant as the walk in... read more

A big tree in front of my house blew down in the latest wind storm. The city of Fremont required me to plant a new one. I had trouble finding an arborist who was approved by the city to plant this tree. I finally found SavATree who had an arborist on staff to perform the work. They were very helpful in getting the required permit from the city. Franck and Renee showed up as scheduled with a new tree and had it planted in a couple of hours. Very good service! read more

We have used for several years. Kevin, the arborist, is terrific. Informative, knowledgeable, took time to answer all my many questions. When we had a concern/problem, he rectified it quickly and fully. We were ready to cut down a beloved crabapple tree that had been diseased for years, no matter what remedies we tried. Kevin suggested a 3 part treatment in the spring - my husband researched the chemicals used, as that is a major concern of ours, and decided they looked safe enough. The tree is now gorgeous and healthy. The crews that have done the trimming of both our large and small trees and shrubs have been very good, as has the office staff. We thought their charges were reasonable and are happy to recommend SavATree. read more

I had several overgrown trees which were encroaching my roof. I am new to Phoenix from San Diego and did not know who to call to prune the trees. I received an advertisement from SavATree and decided to give them a call. Scott came out to give me an estimate and he was punctual, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. Max and Joe performed the pruning and they were a delight. Again, they were punctual, professional, friendly and did an outstanding job on the tree pruning. I would definitely call SavATree again to take care of my trees and I highly recommend them to anyone needing tree, shrub and lawn care. Thanks again! read more

Respond time is VERY long. Treatment result is not so good. If you are not a stay home mom, you have to contact them at your working time, because they do not work on Saturdays. The respond time of Savatree is VERY long. My ever green trees got disease. They are turning very brown very quickly. Since I already have a contract with Savatree, I called them a week ago. Nobody ever called back to schedule a treatment or estimate so far. I have a contract with Savatree, but now I have to call someone else to treat the trees. We also have a billing problem. One Invoice has been open for 40 days. The amount was wrong. I called and emailed about the over charged amount with the original contract attached showing the correct amount. Nobody called back or emailed revised payment link. It is just HARD to work with them. They charge $168 per regular treatment, but the result is no better than the previous supplier who charged only $79. One big tree they have been working on since this spring is now 75% dead. It has been sick for years, under the care of our previous supplier, it was okey. We understand trees may die, but Savatree did not mention anything to us. No explanation or just a simple note about the situation of that big tree. Invoice#5804586, please call for payment and cancellation of our service. read more

Very disappointed in how they butchered my beautiful white oak. It used to be very uniformly shaped until they cut off a larger branch on 1 side. It looks ugly now with "suckers' growing from the cut. Not uniform anymore. Called a few weeks ago as they sent advertisement for tree fertilizer and expressed my dismay as to what they did. Owner said he would come by, look at the tree and get back to me. Never heard back. Try someone else. read more

Terrible, horrible company--please use anyone else. Our neighborhood wanted trees trimmed on nine properties, so we contacted SavATree. They came out, took down phone number and email. They went silent on us--we didn't hear back from them. So we found and hired a different company, who sent us a written estimate and a place to sign and return as a contract. The other company came out March 12 and did a great job. Then SavATree came out four days later on March 16, when no one was home. Saw our freshly trimmed tree--and TRIMMED IT AGAIN?!? Now this tree looks terrible, we had an arborist come look at it and he said he would never have a tree trimmed like that. I have written SavATree a letter, should our tree die from the damage caused by their incompetent workers, we will bill them for dead tree removal, stump removal, and planting of a replacement tree. Also, SavATree charged MORE THAN DOUBLE the price of the other company. Also, forget customer service. I tried to talk to them on the phone about their never sending me a written quote or getting approval from me like the other professional company did, but no luck. I wrote them a letter, they never responded, they just charged me an extra $14.63 Finance Charge. There is a reason you see so many other "one star" reviews of SavATree. Terrible, horrible company--please use anyone else. read more

Have used them for years and was always pleased. They really raised their prices for the same trimming. Figured everything gone up and again always liked their work so felt it was worth it. Was promised several times they would be out, called and called and finally they did, late afternoon. The foreman never showed up when the workers did so we had to walk them around. My one tree they wanted to cut it down where it was only suppose to be trimmed back. They did not agree so we said call him. Needless to say, they trimmed back as little as possible. When we asked about the other trees they said they couldn't because it was getting dark. Said they would return. No one came back. read more

Terrible service. My lawn got more weed after getting their "professional treatment" than I did it myself. Took them 2 weeks to come out and address the issue. All they want is I have to spend more money to treat those weeds, for which I already spent 30% more for a treatment comparing to other quotes that I got after stopping their service. read more

SavATree and SavALawn are exceptional in their work. They are experts in lawn and tree health. In our case we have a lawn that never lasted through the heat of the summer. A large crab apple tree created a good deal of shade, the grass died under the tree. In the other areas, the grass just faded and thinned. By mid August, it looked just awful. With their present management, the lawn stays thick and green all summer. Should I have a question, they are immediately responsive. Their care of my trees has also been superior. They saved a large wonderful tree that was a step away from being removed. Today it has had a great rebirth, and shows a huge umbrella of green shade. My Crab is more than 25 years old, and looks better than ever. In short, they are, in my mind and experience, just terrific. I am pleased to recommend them read more

**UPDATE TO REVIEW: Kelly for the district office contacted me and apologized for the customer service and came right out to assess tree. In 5 minutes he told me what was wrong and what to do. He was very knowledgeable. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE - DENVER OFFICE Called on June 10th to schedule a tree check. They said they were 2 weeks out and that someone would call me back to schedule. Fine. Two weeks later no one has called to schedule so I call to see what's up. Leave a message. They call back to say that they are scheduling 2 weeks out. I call back and speak with someone and explain that I already called on the 10th and my visit should be this week. They had me in as just calling today but after looking into it they found I had called on the 10th. Scheduler will call back. Christina in Denver office called my back and we spoke. She again explained they were scheduling two weeks out. I again explained that I had called two weeks earlier but no one called back to schedule. Her response: "Well we have had lots of tree damage and we need to put our existing customers first so we can't come out for two weeks." When asked if I would like schedule I replied no because I don't care to deal with a company that has bad customer service. She responded: Well if you don't want to deal with us then we would rather not deal with you. Nice. Kind of hard to get existing customers if you are rude to potential new customers. read more

I started out with Swingle Tree Services which at one time was one of the top tree services here in Denver. I signed up for the lawn care, which though was pricey,because it was Swingle, I was alright about paying. Then Swingle merged or was bought by this out of town outfit, "Savatree", and trying to get a hold of someone over the phone is useless, even to pay a bill! The arborist was very knowledgeable but I need to have a more reliable company as Swingle used to be so next year, I am going with a different experience. read more

I will absolutely never recommend Savatree to anyone ever. My entire experience was so below expectations for paying over $1,000 for holiday decor. I found broken lightbulbs all over our yard and I am still finding lightbulbs in our raised beds. The people who installed had never seen gutter guards like ours before, so their solution was to just break them to get the lights up. I wish I had been told from the beginning that our gutter guards make it hard for the light install so I could have aborted mission. This whole experience was trash for something that's supposedly a luxury. The only thing that somewhat makes up for it is Joe, the operations manager. Joe has been pleasant to deal with, has admitted fault and paid for my gutter guards to be repaired. However, to have me pay for the whole service is actual trash. I also tried to submit this review directly to them, and their server didn't accept my review. Not surprising, I guess. read more

I rarely post reviews, but am doing so regarding SavATree because of their phenomenal work and service in trimming/cutting the large tree in our backyard. Kevin came out, punctually so, to view what needed to be done and give an estimate. He gave a reasonable estimate money wise. He also indicated he would contact me via email in two weeks about a date to do the work, with the email coming approximately 1 week before the anticipated work date. That's exactly what happened. Their trimming guys, with Kevin along for the introduction, showed up slightly ahead of the scheduled time this morning, did the work to perfection and thoroughly cleaned up afterward. I contacted 4 other such services, including via Angi's List. Two did not return my initial call. The other two surely noted our address and gave excessive estimates. One of those two did not show up when he was scheduled, and dropped by because "I am in the area" a few days later. These guys are the ones you want to use for any tree and/or shrub work! read more
