Winter Deer Repellent

What do hungry deer eat in the winter?

As temperatures drop and food sources become scarce, deer often use ornamental trees and shrubs as a food source. Almost any plant can be at risk, especially during harsh winters with heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. Protecting your landscape from hungry deer is essential to prevent damage to your valuable plants.

Winter Deer Deterrent Solutions

Hungry deer can cause lasting damage to your landscape during the winter months. As deer feed, your plants may become disfigured, stressed, and sometimes damaged beyond recovery. Our DeerTech solutions provide a preferred alternative to deer fencing, offering equal or even greater protection against winter feeding. We offer a range of safe, reliable products and services designed to safeguard your gardens.

A single DeerTech Winter Protection Treatment in the fall can protect your ornamental trees and shrubs throughout the entire winter. Our winter repellent treatments are among the best available, offering protection without odors or the need for re-treatment.

My 37-year-old sugar maple had to be cut down because it was diseased and had partially fallen. A neighbor of mine had used SavATree to trim some of her trees, so I scheduled them to finish downing my tree and then to haul the cuttings away. My scheduling experience was very good in that the arborist who initially came out to see the tree seemed knowledgeable and proficient. My tree required...

Work was done exactly as described in proposal. We had checked with other companies and SavATree's proposal was lower than other companies. The work was well supervised and the supervisor checked in with me to make sure the results were to my satisfaction.

After the summer, we had SavATee out to look at some struggling trees. They suggested treating our Jackaranda, trimming our Ironwood, removing a couple, and just leaving some others alone. The Ironwood looks amazing, and the Jackaranda is on the mend. Great service! Everyone was professional and courteous.

SavATree did a great job when they recently trimmed our trees for us! Both the arborist doing the consultation and the professionals doing the trimming were great to work with and communicated well with us.

We have worked with SavATree for over 4 years now and we have always been really happy with the services they provide and the job they do. They first helped us pick trees to line our very exposed yard that would help provide privacy year around and also pretty trees that flower in the spring and turn beautiful colors in the fall. They provide a plant health care program that saved a maple...

Just had a great experience working with Mathew and his crew Angel & Jesus to get a few trees pruned. Mathew took the time to go around and discuss what my trees needed. Angel & Jesus did great work including cleaning what they pruned.

Great company with very knowledgeable arborists who love plants! Wonderful to do business with. I had used our general landscaping business prior for tree and bush trimming and this is 3 heads above in skill. Would highly recommend to anyone who cares about their outdoor plantings!

Another fantastic job by Monty's crew! Because of their previous tree maintenance, my trees survived a direct hurricane hit. This time they trimmed the dead branches and cleaned up the debris so the trees and yard looks better than ever!
