What SavATree does
SavATree is a US-based professional tree, shrub, and lawn care services company headquartered in Bedford Hills, New York. Founded approximately 1980 and operating under the legal entity SavATree, LLC, the company runs 82 branch locations across more than 30 states and employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people. It serves two primary customer segments: residential property owners seeking ongoing plant health care, and commercial clients including property management firms, educational institutions, HOAs, municipal governments, golf and country clubs, hospitality venues, and public gardens/arboreta. The company reports helping more than 150,000 homeowners per year.
The service portfolio centers on recurring plant health care — pruning, removal, cabling and bracing, fertilization, organic and integrated treatment, disease and insect management, and storm-damage response — delivered by ISA Certified Arborists. Specialized offerings include the patented DeerTech "Three Circles Of Protection" ultrasonic deer-deterrent program operated on subscription, targeted tick control, landscape design and maintenance, holiday lighting, and the SavATree Consulting Group providing risk assessments, tree inventories, appraisals, urban forest master planning, and expert-witness services. Proprietary treatments such as Arbor Kelp and the HomeShield Pest Barrier sit alongside the firm's science-based agronomic programs.
SavATree's revenue model blends subscription-style annual plant health care agreements (residential and commercial), DeerTech subscription rentals with 12-month auto-renewal, and one-time project work such as removals, stump grinding, and emergency storm response. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; New York client contracts include a minimum 1% annual CPI escalator. Growth is executed predominantly through mergers and acquisitions of regional arboriculture companies, with retained brand identities (Lou Giroud Tree Service, Arborwell, Barrett's Tree Service, Lawns Unlimited, Atlas Environmental Services, Atlas Tree Service, Boise Tree, Carr Tree, and others) operating as wholly-owned DBAs under SavATree, LLC. Ryan Berk was appointed Chief Executive Officer in October 2025, signaling a transition into the company's next growth phase.
