In September 2026 a customer wrote that SavATree had recently pruned and taken down a few dead trees in their yard, quick and courteous throughout. This is the Lincoln branch at 15 Lewis Street, which says it serves Metro West and the Boston suburbs with tree, shrub, lawn, tick and deer-control work, staffed by ISA Certified Arborists; the site says the branch has served the area for 26 years. In July 2026 a customer had the crew come within two days to assess a tree; once it could not be saved, they came back within the week, took it down, stacked the logs and cleaned up. In May 2026 a customer had about 10 tree stumps ground and removed, and the crew removed the debris, brought in fresh loam and seeded. In June 2026 the crew pruned a customer's badly pruned specimen tree and corrected branches growing together; at that customer's insistence they provided a certified arborist for inspection, and the customer called the price fair and competitive. In August 2026 an arborist gave a customer a couple of options for a diseased beech tree, and the customer chose an injection. In June 2026 Derek treated another customer's beech tree for leaf disease and explained what he was doing and why. In August 2026 a customer gave three stars: the pruning was done very well, but no one showed up for the original appointment because of a scheduling error, the crew left several gouges in the asphalt driveway after dropping heavy logs, and after someone from SavATree asked about concerns, the customer's reply with photos of the driveway never got a response. In July 2026 a customer reported that a new applicator did not apply a kelp treatment the way the arborist had described; the arborist said it was not correct and that he would schedule a reapplication. In October 2025 a customer with a $3,500 annual lawn contract said the lawn turned into a weedy sand pit and that fixing a fungus would cost extra. In March 2025 a customer who had confirmation emails said the arborist never called or showed. SavATree is BBB accredited with a B+ grade and 16 complaints on file. It holds 4.9 stars from 487 Google ratings and 4.5 from 46 on both Angi and HomeAdvisor.
“following up to say thank you - we had a consultation with sav-a-tree!”
“established operators like SavATree (Lincoln MA, 454 reviews) and NE Tree Masters (Boxborough MA, 545 reviews) set the benchmark for that vertical.”

“In Middlesex County, Massachusetts, the tree service competitive landscape is concentrated at the vertical level but thin at the town level. SavATree (Lincoln MA, 454 Google reviews, 45+ years in operation) and New England Tree Masters (Boxborough MA, 545 reviews, 25+ years) are the regional anchors. But at the individual town level, most Middlesex County markets have only 2–4 credible map-pack competitors. McDonald Tree Service (Billerica MA) launched in 2025 with a custom Next.js site scoring Lighthouse 100 and a 0.6-second mobile load time — competing against a field of Wix and GoDaddy temp”
Knowledgeable, good price and very courteous crew
I read through a few of the reviews before writing mine, and I have to say I was sorry to see a couple of the poor ones. Obviously everyone’s experience is their own, but based on ours, some of the criticism seemed a little unjust. Have there been occasional gaps in communication around scheduling? Absolutely—but nothing I would consider out of the ordinary. John has been extremely good to work with, and in his absence Geoff didn’t miss a beat. Lucky, Joshua, and Jair were all a pleasure to have on the property. They had an educated answer or opinion for every question we threw at them, and more importantly, the patience to explain things and work through our concerns with class. As far as the treatment side of the business goes, the best thing I can say is that I have no complaints—and that’s exactly what you want. Everything has been handled professionally, and overall we’ve had a very positive experience with the SavATree Lincoln team.
SavATree recently completed some pruning and took down a few dead trees in our yard. They were quick, thorough, and courteous throughout the process. Highly recommended in the greater Boston area.
My tech is Derek M., and he’s truly amazing. He’s knowledgeable, thorough, and conscientious. He walks the property during each visit, notices every detail, and adapts treatment to optimize plant health. Our yard has never looked better, and it’s clear that Derek truly cares about what he does, and takes pride in his work. I can’t say enough great things about him, his skill, his demeanor, his genuine passion for what he does. We’re so grateful for his exceptional service.
Good communication, prompt arrival, well executed plan and nice cleanup by the team. Very happy working with Tyler and the team and very satisfied with the job
