Why did you become an arborist?

“I grew up in Western New York, constantly outside and around trees. I helped my father with his land in the southern tier, building tree stands and planting trees. I worked with a forester in Lake Tahoe, CA as a sawyer, learning so much about trees and how they benefit the world. I studied urban forestry as a resource and learned how trees provide benefits for everyone. I want to help all the trees here in Colorado because they need it.”

Customer Service Philosophy:

“I will sing, dance and talk with you and your trees.”

Fun Fact:

"I lived out of a tent for a year all over the country while working for a non-profit conservation organization. I like cheese, trees and skis."

The two ladies who sprayed our two trees did an excellent job. Very courteous and friendly. They covered our camper with a tarp before spraying the tree out front. The only negative was nobody from SavATree called to let us know when they would be coming out. We have always gotten a call about a week prior to make sure we would be home or have our gate unlocked if we weren’t going to be home....

Communication and professionalism were exceptional before they started and throughout the actual work. The cleanup was also impressive. They...

SavaTree has provided us with excellent service a couple of times within the past two years. First, they came out and trimmed all our trees back from the roof and walls of the house, as ordered by Farmers Insurance, if we wanted them to keep insuring our house. This time, they trimmed all our trees and took down one big one that was dying. The management team, as well as the working crew are...

David, my arborist, is very knowledgeable about all varieties of trees and shrubs. I find him very experienced in diagnosing problems. I recently had my trees and shrubs receive deep root watering. Izzy, who applied the treatment, noticed that one of my trees was not on the list and asked if I wanted it treated. I did, and appreciated her care and thoroughness.
