SavATree - Tree Service & Lawn Care

Eric Kaiser

We contacted SavATree to inquire about the cost of having an arborist look at a tree in our yard that was having issues. They responded that an arborist would come out at no charge to inspect the tree and provide quotes for any potential solutions that were identified. Matt came out and inspected said tree, along with several others on our property. He did not appear to be very knowledgeable, as he was looking up multiple native tree types on his phone instead of being able to identify them from sight. Regarding the tree in question, he identified that the tree was older, and potentially toward the end of its life, but said that an aggressive root based treatment and feeding program could possibly extend its life. Due to our concerns about potential chemicals injected in the ground getting into the ground water, we requested to see the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for all chemicals that would be applied. One of the proposed chemicals was listed as a potential ground water contaminant on the SDS. After learning this we decided to do more research on our own, from this we learned that our tree in fact had a disease known as heart-rot, which means that most/all of the center of the tree is dead, and there is no treatment. Armed with this information I researched certified arborists on the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) website, and found that there was nobody by the name of the person who came to our house listed as a certified arborist in the state of Indiana. After learning this, we contacted a small local tree company and got the affected tree, and a second tree, taken down for less money than SavATree wanted to trim the dead limbs from the diseased tree. The darker wood in the center of the attached picture is the dead portion of our tree trunk.

No one up yesterday showed up yesterday to evaluate my previous concerns as arranged.

There was a mix-up between myself and the guy I talk to about cutting branches to avoid my power lines. They just cut the broken branches but I talking to the same guy about what I wanted I expected, so he talked to the owner about reopening my work order in order to make sure my power lines were safe, and to have peace of mind about it. So they came back out to cut down what was needed to keep them save...... thank you thank you:)

We have used "Pings", now "SaveATree" services, for many years. I can't say enough good things about our Arborist, Peter Fife. Throughout the years Peter has consistently provided excellent service and knowledgeable advice including helping us save some of our beautiful large trees. I can without hesitation recommend Peter to help you with your tree/scrub/landscape management.
