1. Manage Debris: Regularly remove deadfall and overgrown brush.
2. Prune Trees: Trim large trees to remove low-hanging limbs (at least 10 feet from chimneys and within 10 feet of the ground).
3. Clear Pathways: Create an 8–10-foot clear zone around buildings. (Local clearance requirements vary—check with your local government, homeowners’ insurance company, and arborist).
4. Maintain Grass: Keep native grass mowed below 4 inches in height.
5. Remove Debris: Clear pine needles and other flammable debris from decks, roofs, and gutters.
6. Understory Management: Remove suppressed vegetation to prevent fire spread.
7. Firewood Storage: Store firewood at least 30 feet away from structures; never place it on or under decks.
8. Hydrant Clearance: Ensure an 8-foot vertical and horizontal clearance around hydrants and water sources by clearing surrounding vegetation.

I worked with Dylan and he was very responsive, friendly and easy to work with. I have a maple with a black fungus, and they fertilized it and is coming back to apply the antifungal when the weather is better. All is good.

A company that actually picks up the phone when you call their number. Within a couple days someone arrived to quote the job and 2 days later the job was completed. Their crew is professional and all work was completed beyond my expectations. SavATree's quote was half of what another competitor quoted. SavATree definitely will be my go to company for any tree service work I need from this...

Barrett's Tree Service did a fantastic job taking down a couple of dead Cottonwood trees for us. We were amazed at how quickly and efficiently their crew worked, and especially admired the way they cleaned up as they worked. Highly recommended!

I was very impressed with the fertilization process. I had no idea how important it is to go around the canopy to feed the roots of the tree. I am waiting for better weather to watch my trees blossom out.

From the office staff who sends updates and emails to Mike Masters-Certified Arborist to 'my' technician/specialist, I couldn't' be more pleased with or confident in the service I've received from SavATree. It's not just a job to Robert- he truly cares about my trees and is willing to walk my property to inspect potential issues I spy. I have a number of evergreens and deciduous trees, and am...

Had a great experience with Colton and SavATree. They were able to fit us in quickly, the crew was professional and they quoted a fair price. They cleaned up nicely after they were done. I would recommend for any of your tree needs.

Bailey and his crew were exceptional! They were highly professional, delivered outstanding results for my giant willow and maple tree pruning, and even went above and beyond by cleaning up my leaves—something I didn’t expect. Their work far exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely hire them again. I highly recommend their services!

Even though the weather was wet and snowy, the SavATree crew was punctual, personable and skilled. The process of removing a large Spruce tree and then cleaning up thoroughly was commendable . I was very pleased.

Very friendly and competent business. Gave us an honest price, and helped us conserve a tree rather than cut it completely down as most of the other companies we consulted wanted to do. Very satisfied with the work and highly recommend them.

SavATree arborists are really knowledgeable and exceptionally helpful, friendly and professional! We have been thrilled with their service over the past several years of using them for caring for our trees and shrubs. I would heartily recommend them to anyone in need of gardening assistance!
