Reviews of local pros in Mountainside, New Jersey

Very nice worker (Jacob Giraldo) from SavATree. And very competent service (Kelp treatment for my dogwoods and cherry blossom trees). He explained the nature of the kelp treatment and its benefits to the trees. Very pleased with this company.

Savatree has helped to make my garden a really beautiful place. Ryan applied a fruit tree spray to my cherry and apple trees and for the first time since I planted them 10 years ago, they have produced amazing amounts of delicious fruit. They have also trimmed bushes and will be pruning and fertilizing in the fall. I love knowing I can count on Ryan and his team to keep my trees healthy.

So far so good with SavATree! The office team I've spoken to are very professional and welcoming. My arborist Eric is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all my questions and I legitimately know more about my property now. Scheduling hit a bump or two because of the weather, but Jacob showed up as expected for the first treatments. In addition to "tree-age" (I'll see myself out) SavATree did some much needed pruning and clean-up for me. Juan and his team were not only accommodating with some minor last-minute requests, but they were also quite fast! Also, their online portal makes everything very easy to keep track of and pay for. Two thumbs up!

Greg Elledge and his crew did a great job trimming our very large trees and removing an old maple. It is nice working with an arborist who understands and can treat tree conditions.

Eric and his team were extremely professional and their work was very high quality! It was very easy to communicate directly about the urgent work we needed done. I’ll be going back to them when needed in the future!

SavATree is the only tree company we’ll use. Their arborist, Ryan Case, is the best. He’s why we’re loyal customers of SavATree. I wish everyone was as knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and smart as Ryan.

Avoid. They came late May. Diagnosed my plants with aphids. They had already done the spring treatment so said it may be a little time. They finally came and fertilized the plants first which seemed bizarre to pay that money to feed the aphids. Aphids continued to multiply. Finally called them early July to say when is my aphid treatment scheduled? . It wasn’t but they did it that week. A Tech, not properly trained, used high pressure and at times appeared to be trying to blow the aphids to kingdom come. The spray went everywhere on my house, on my car, on me (12 feet away around a corner). Soon as he left, rained it all off. They did agree to reapply and do come today another two weeks later. Almost two months since I contracted them, Aphids have multiplied, leaves are falling off the shrubs exposing bare wood (photo attached). This is what $400 got me. Terminated service now. Will buy stuff from Home Depot now. Hope it works. Arborist was very nice.

Eric Grow of Savatree found that we had a defective tree. In 1987, a giant tree uprooted. So we wanted this defective tree removed. It was giant and near our house. Eric and his crew headed by Sebastian did a fantastic, safe job. No damage to our house at all.
Bravo!!!!!!

Eric and the team at SavATree are the only people we trust to help us keep our giant tree healthy! We inherited a sycamore that is 100+ years old and is the shade for four houses in our neighborhood. We love our tree and want to make sure it stays in great shape-Eric and the team have helped with treatments and trimming to make sure it is always at it's best.

Great job by the Savatree team on my tree concerns over the years; Jody gave a bunch of options, quoted and was patient as we made a few inquiries. At the end of the day, sometimes cheaper than others, other times a little more, but they had insurance and provided a lot of consistent work and Jody always double-checks on the work before and after with me to make sure we're happy, sending people back if needed on anything missing. Foreman Tom and worker Willy were superb, quick and safe - cleaned up nicely, too, this time, taking down a tree near wires.

Sava-a-Tree Save-a-Lawn has treated the landscape for our home for nearly 30 years ~~ that's quite a run! They emailed me today, telling me that they did not apply a treatment to our pink dogwood because the leaves haven't opened up enough yet (or such). They wrote that they will return to do the treatment in the near future. I appreciate the SAT-SAL individualizes their treatments.

This dogwood is beautiful and very old. It was planted just after WW2. My dogwood has certainly benefitted from the care provided by everyone in this business.

I've had a couple of good experiences with them besides this last year. But I paid a lot of money only to have them fall beyond short of what I hired them for. I told them I wanted stronger grass and to fill up all of the patches I have. Those are the only two goals I'd like completed. They said ok and that I'd have to get the full treatment to see the best results (about 5 months of various treatments). I trusted them and had them work on my lawn for well over a thousand dollars throughout the summer. My grass looks the same, if not worse.

I was also told from one of the specialists that the seeding used on my lawn was the wrong type when considering the sunlight exposure. They also barely aerated and seeded the areas that needed it the most. I've voiced my concerns and was told they would help me out, but the last time I spoke to them they didn't offer any remediation. Beyond frustrating. Never using them again and would also recommend a smaller company to hopefully get some better quality control.

And after cancelling almost 6 months ago, they still sent someone to my house to fertilize some bushes. If I wasn't home to tell him I cancelled, they would've charged me for this service too.

Firstly, the sales professional was top notch. I made my decision same day, and I NEVER do that when doing upgrades to my home.
Received installation the very next day (had all gutters replaced and finished off with Leaf Filter Gutter Protection).
The installers were professional, arrived on time, made appropriate calculations for best downspout water runoff, and they did not even leave an old screw laying around the house after removing the old gutters and replacing with new.
This purchase and installation was a Home Run All Around.

The gutter system looks great and the crew did a great installation job. The company was responsive to our questions and were patient with us. The salesperson even came by to inspect the job after it was done. That was a surprise and huge difference that makes them exceptional from other vendors.

Job was perfect. Workers very professional and personable. Materials great. Salesman a pleasure to work with.

Cleaning the gutter and correct installation did not happen. They responded to the complaints in a timely fashion. Sub contractors showed up on the day but not time.
Problem, sub contractor #1 didn’t clean gutter, gutter leaked on two sides. He told us to call him direct if there was a problem. We did, he told us to call leaf filter. #2 two people show up, remove filters and make a lot of noise. Gutter leaks. #3 PATRiCK THOMPSON, one man and equipment fix the problem. The gutter was clogged with so much mud he needed a rod to unclog it. Paper towels were left by #1 or #2 in the gutter. He pitched the gutter properly and resealed it.
We had a storm later that day, I haven’t seen a leak. Will keep you posted.

Sales pitch is long.
Mr. Thompson 5 stars

Installation was scheduled quickly and the installer was professional and communicated well. Nicely done.

Negative - salesman was way too agressive and I had to consistantly push him off to research other products and the van your installer drove was an embarrassment! Rusted out, chipped paint, broken gas tank cover and no company signage (I guess you didn't want the public to see such a poor company representation). Shows a high level of disrespect. And, you should ask before putting a sign on your customer's lawn.

Sales pitch requires you to say the price quoted is double what you expected... then they'll come down... a lot. Figure around $18.50-$20 per linear foot of product. Everything went pretty fast. Scheduled the install a few days after signing the contract. Crew (local independent contractor) showed up on time and installed everything in a few hours (I have a ranch). A week or two after installation a supervisor from Leaf Filter came over to inspect the job that was done. So far so good. I don't have any accumulation of leaves up on my gutters, and we have a lot of leaves blowing around where I live. I'd definitely recommend the product as the quality is far better than what you can pick up yourself at a Home Depot or Lowes.

The Leaf Filter experience--from initial consultation to installation--was very professional and efficient. Thus far, we've also been impressed by the quality and performance of the product itself, which has kept leaves out of our gutters while those of our neighbors are filled to overflowing. We haven't had a very heavy rain yet, but we fully expect our gutter protection to perform well. Overall estimate--very good job!

Job well done. Diego went above and beyond making sure he met our expectations.

Richard was wonderful. He was professional and very knowledgeable on the product. He helped us thru the process of gutter guards and made the process flawless. The team that installed were amazing and fast and before I knew it the problem, we had with our gutters were fixed. I would highly recommend this business for all your gutter needs.
