Why Did you Become an Arborist?:

“My passion for becoming an Arborist began with an interest and appreciation of the outdoors and nature.  I grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland and began my career at the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh.  I spent more time outdoors than indoors, and wanted a career that would allow me to continue that passion.  Nobody else was studying plant science, which also appealed to my individualism.”

Customer Service Philosophy:

“Treat my clients how I would like to be treated.”

What are Alison's Clients saying?

“Efficient, high quality, professional competence — all at a competitive sum. At first [Alison] Pottage won me over by her solid knowledge as an arborist, then the crew did their job to her specifications on our 60 to 70 foot oaks within a remarkable period of time — and left the grounds quite clean.”
Bob B., Philadelphia, PA
“Keep up the good work! I’m extremely pleased. My lawn was terrible before you took over the job. Now it’s beautiful.”
Andrea K., Bryn Mawr, PA
“I am very happy with the results [of the DeerTech system]. I rarely see a deer, but they are always at the woods edge of my property and don’t appear to venture forward!”
Pat M., Haverford, PA

The issues ranged from dead or dying trees that needed to be taken down to trees that needed to be pruned and could use some fertilizer or nutrients (in the spring) to bolster their health. When they came to trim and...

I am very happy with my experience with Sav a Tree. From the start, I felt confident with Allison their arborist and her suggestions and I felt their pricing was competitive and fair. Once the work started, it was done by competent and friendly young men who were efficient and willing to accept suggestions from me about the work being done. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they left...

Ken P is the best. I have tried many lawn companies without luck for my grass backing up to the golf course.. I am grateful I tried the lawn program at Savatree, who I have used for my trees and shrubs for years. They are responsible with the use of chemicals and my lawn looks the best ever. They were able to get the weeds from the golf course out and we now have healthy beautiful dark...

Ken (and his team), year after year, have my lawn looking it's best. Ken is always approachable and willing to share his expertise with any questions I might have. He is very thorough and respectful of my property as he applies the various treatments. Very pleased!
