About SavATree

SavATree was founded 45 years ago with a mission to preserve trees threatened by the gypsy moth epidemic. Since then, we’ve grown into a nationwide leader in tree, shrub, and lawn care services. Unlike companies that focus on removal, our work is rooted in preservation and care.

We are a values-driven organization built on teamwork, integrity, respect, and a relentless commitment to making a positive impact. When you join us, you’ll find a collaborative, competitive, and caring environment where your contributions matter. As we like to say: When you work here, you thrive here.

Physical Requirements

This role requires the ability to climb, work at heights, and safely lift and/or move up to fifty (50) pounds while performing tree care tasks.
