We have had excellent service from arborist Frank Cardona and the crew at San Jose SavATree. Frank is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain his assessment in detail. His recommendations were for far more subtle and detailed work than I got from other companies and with a fair price. The crew was very courteous, knowledgeable, and careful. They did a great job cleaning up.
He recommended a soil treatment for our oaks that were looking stressed and they are definitely greening up after the application this past fall.
I don't hesitate to recommend Frank and his team for emergency work or maintainance. He has been very quick to respond and very professional in carrying out service.

Thank you to Franck Cadena and the Savatree crew for their help removing a large tree from our backyard, pruning two large trees in our front yard, and grinding several stumps.
Franck partnered with us to understand our needs, helped us navigate the permit process with the city, and built a solution that met our budget ... thank you.
When it came time for the job, Franck was onsite making sure his crew safely removed the tree (which was leaning over our house) in our backyard and pruned the trees in our front yard to preserve the life of the tree while improving them aesthetically. When one of his crew called in sick, Franck even put on a helmet and filled in!
We will give Franck and Savatree our business for years to come, thank you again!

I had initially contacted them for saving my lemon tree which started showing some white spots on leaves, and black ants. First arborist who was there- didnot do a good job at all. However, we were later contacted by Colin- who was really supportive, and caring. He was very professional- answered all my concerns and questions and did the needful to save my lemon tree. He also assured that he would monitor the progress of my tree till we know that it is healthy and giving fruit like before. He constantly stayed in touch to ensure everything was going well- when the person came to treat the tree - he ensured that he answered my questions regarding the treatment that was provided. Overall, it was a good gesture and turned by negative experience into a positive one. I am very thankful and pleased with Colin who made sure that everything was going well. Can't wait to see my lemon tree get better and healthy.

We contacted SavATree to check on a tree that had the potential to be a menace to our roof. We needed to evaluate the health of the tree and our option between remove the tree vs trim it down. Along with that there was another tree with surface roots and we wanted to assess the potential. Frank Cadena from SavATree understood our urgency and visited us in a matter of a day. He was helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. He helped us assess more of our trees while he was on premises. He provided very good feedback on our trees. This was just an evaluation visit - but a valuable one as we now have a reasonable way forward and are encouraged to have a knowledgeable arborist to work with. Thanks so much.

I wish 4 1/2 stars was an option. I had them come out to prune my fruit trees in the Fall. They did a good job shaping them, which was my main concern. I had to go through afterwards to do some minor trimming. They also replanted 2 trees - a lime and an avocado. The replanting didn’t seem successful, but we waited till Spring to see if they would rebound. They didn’t. Completely dead. The company accepted responsibility and replaced the trees. The avocado I lost was Haas - they replaced it with Mexicola. I’ll have to wait a couple of years for the tree to produce fruit before I decide if the switch was not the best idea. The lime tree actually looks nicer than the one I lost, so -1, +1 on the scoreboard.
Everyone at SavATree were friendly and good to work with. In spite of the what problems I had with them, I’ll probably use them again next Fall for another pruning.
