SavATree - Tree Service & Lawn Care

I signed a $3,500 annual contract with SavATree in Lincoln to keep my lawn healthy and rich. They did the exact opposite. My lawn turned into a sand pit filled with weeds. Their treatment cards said the lawn was “great,” but it was obvious there were major issues. When I reached out, I was told there was a fungus and that fixing it would cost extra, even though I was already paying thousands for a full-service lawn treatment program. The situation got so bad that I had to hire another landscaper to reseed and fertilize just to undo the damage. SavATree then came and applied more fertilizer on top of that, completely over-treating the lawn. When I asked why they would knowingly do that, I was told they simply followed the original plan for the year, even if it was harmful for the lawn. The entire purpose was to hire someone that would help me take better care of my lawn. They did not come close to doing that, they made my lawn worse, cost me even more money to fix it. Stay away if you need lawn care.

I’ve been using SavATree to care for the trees in my yard for several years, and this is the first time I felt genuinely compelled to write a review — all because of Jeff. He performed the DeerTech Winter Protection service at my home and impressed me deeply with his professionalism and dedication. Jeff walked back and forth between the front and back yards multiple times, making sure every single tree was fully and evenly treated before he left. His thoroughness, responsibility, and attention to detail truly moved me.

This is the 2nd time that I have used SavATree in the past 8 years. They have certified arborists, not just some guy who wants to cut down your trees and change a lot. Rafael Acevedo discussed everything I wanted pruned, trimmed, cut down. The leaves were off the trees when the crew arrived about a week ago. They were also very knowledgeable about each species and did a fantastic job including cleanup. My property now has more sunlight and looks great. I highly recommend Savatree.

We have used SavATree several times for a variety of things. They came out to our property to make recommendations and offer advice; they evaluated and removed a large and beloved tree in front of our house; and they helped plan and plant a memorial tree to replace it. Across the board, the folks at SavATree have been kind, informative, incredibly respectful, and welcoming. Their enthusiasm for trees is contagious. The care they put into their work is phenomenal. They were very sensitive to our sorrow over losing our old Maple tree, and they cut off specific pieces for us to save. When we were considering a replacement tree, they offered recommendations based on what we were looking for. They were incredibly supportive and, after the tree was planted, Dean stopped by several times to check on the tree and send us updates. We specifically enjoyed working with Dean, Colin, and Ben. Not only would we recommend SavATree, we will definitely be reaching out to them in the future.

My lawn looks great now! Highly recommend! Only issue is that they had to reschedule their appointments with me three different times. Things happen, so I can understand that. But the frustrating part is that on two of the occasions they didn’t even let me know that they wouldn’t be able to make it out (even after I specifically asked them to give me a heads up if they wouldn’t be able to come). But the good news is that they finally came after the fourth time they scheduled the appointment, and they did great work. Typically it doesn’t matter for most people whether or not you’re home when they come by to do lawn treatments. But it mattered to me because I had to give my tenants a heads up to keep their dog off the lawn (and I told SavATree that this mattered to me and they still didn’t reach out when they ghosted me the third time). So having to reschedule so many times without so much as a heads up became irritating. All that said, I will continue to work with them because they do great work.
