We work with the best

Our Employees

Among SavATree’s more than 2,500 employees, 65% are field-based arborists and specialists directly involved in delivering arboriculture services to client properties.

At SavATree, safety is job #1

Employee Safety: Our people are our greatest asset, and we take every precaution to provide a safe work environment for every member of our team. Our robust safety programs and requirements meet or exceed industry standards and OSHA requirements.

Safe Use of Equipment: We train all field-based team members on the methods to operate equipment and complete their work duties safely. Additionally, our branch managers and service line directors regularly audit team members for safety compliance and elicit suggestions for improving policies and requirements.

SavATree Ranks High in Safety Culture. We recently scored in the 92nd percentile of all companies participating in the National Safety Council survey to measure its employee safety culture.

SavATree Wins Tree Care Industry Association Safety Award Every Year Since 2014. At the annual conference of the TCIA, we were recognized for our multi-faceted and proactive initiative to improve the company safety culture.

Employee training & Development

We’re committed to providing our employees with opportunities for career advancement and professional growth. Most of our arborists and field specialists are degreed professionals who have acquired all required licenses and certifications to do business in the states where we operate. Our arboricultural teams receive continuous hands-on, online and classroom training, including certifications.

  • Onboarding for new field-based employees.
  • Professional certifications.
  • Continuing education and skill development. Most employees obtain continuing education credits and advanced training through our in-house self-advancement training program or through recognized industry training programs, all of which supports career progression through demonstrated skill development.
  • Leadership development. SavATree promotes advancement of its leadership teams through individual development plans and mentor-mentee matched pairs to support accelerated learning and professional growth.
