SavATree of Bloomfield, CT

“This is a long review…if you are considering tree work, which is inherently dangerous work, it merits your reading through this review. I am retired from the Navy, and from federal land management and law enforcement. My wife and I recently hired SavATree for a significant amount of tree work on our property; work that included aged and diseased tree removal, limbing, thinning and “chipping” brush and tree parts. From my first contact with the local office staff (Samantha in Belchertown MA, and Jacqueline in Connecticut) they were efficient and knowledgeable….more importantly, polite and engaging! Our business with them was off to a great start (and remained so through the project’s completion!). The next step was a site visit….which occurred within a day of contacting the office, their Arborist (Michael) arrived - we walked my property, discussed the issues…what a great visit that was. Michael is a professional Arborist (incidentally, professionalism is an accurate descriptor, and remained so through the entirety of our project!)…Again, I have some federal forestry experience….and Michael is the genuine “article”: he is knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. Some time in the field with him is a “mini education” on trees, forestry ecology, and how to be a good land steward. I appreciated his professionalism and engaging personality—- I know a layman or someone with no experience, would equally appreciate it, and maybe learn from him, as well! The estimate Michael came up with was fair—especially so for the amount of work they did on our property! We agreed to the work….and Michael being concerned with one particularly dangerous old diseased oak, really pushed for our project to commence ….which did within a week of his initial visit. I could not be convinced that they would complete my project in a single day. Michael kept saying it and I just could not believe it….a single day? The scheduled day, they were exactly on time (0830). Michael and his crew showed up (Foreman Angel and three more), they discussed the project scope, allowing me to listen in, and again, I was immediately impressed…everyone was decked out in full safety gear (important to me! And it should be to the readers, as well!). Angel then briefed his troops….and the sawing, equipment movement, chipping began. I never heard it stop….these are professional sawyers, and equipment operators—it was an impressive operation! I understand that they do small projects with the same professionalism. They were complete by 3:30 pm…cleaning up the worksite….amazing. And Michael was right: one day!!! And in a project the size of mine, there is so much going on…men moving trucks and trailers, machinery, saws, trees being felled and shredded ….and one of my posts at the turn-in on my driveway got “clipped”. It happens. Michael, Samantha—so understanding and apologetic—-again: they are true professionals with heart. By the next day, Michael contacted me and we discussed SavATree’s replacement and installation of the damaged post. This company, these people…..are “top notch”. My wife and I couldn’t be happier. And a final note: I wanted chips to be left to use as mulch and trail bedding. Rather than leave my shredded saplings and limbs, Michael —on his own volition—arranged for chipped pine…5 yards of it!!….and pine.makes for much better scented mulch! Also, I have numerous young conifers (pines and hemlocks) planted throughout the project area. Not a single one of them was damaged….which, if you know anything about felling large trees, speaks again to the employees professionalism and experience. They care, they work hard, they know what they are doing, they are safe….they are professionals and everyone of them, friendly. If you consider them, don’t be afraid to ask questions—they no doubt will have the answers. Michael, Samantha, and Angel and his “tree troopers”….Thank you again! Anyone reading this considering “tree work”, I don’t believe you’ll find anyone out there better…from the office staff to the field….just outstanding!”

“Michael and the crew lead by Angel did a fantastic job! I had a few obstacles (a narrow driveway, fence, and garden shed) for them to work around. They trimmed just what we discussed and cleaned up the area beautifully! I can't wait for the sunlight to come pouring in on my hydrangeas that have been lacking the sun they need. Highly recommend SavATree!”

“SavATree in general has never been anything but amazing to work with. The Bloomfield office, and their arborist Garrett in particular, were extremely knowledgable and trustworthy. The office and staff have been easy and incredible to work with. They have been very responsive and clear. Would work with them again if we ever have tree needs.”
