The roots of L.E. Savory Tree & Lawn Service, Inc. extend all the way back to 1951, when Lester E. Savory, Sr. set out to provide professional and knowledgeable tree care for the people of the Toledo, Ohio area. With limited equipment and resources, but unlimited determination, Les began the company that has now evolved into a growing, multi-service corporation. Les's wife, Beulah, supported him in the business, serving as an office manager, until her death in 1988. Les Savory saw the benefits of continuing education early on.

Core aeration is the process of lifting plugs of soil and turf throughout the yard in order to reduce soil compaction. Constant foot traffic and over watering compact soil can reduce the amount of oxygen available to root systems. Periods of drought can also lead to soil compaction. Proper oxygen levels are essential for root expansion and for the overall health of your trees. Compacted soil can cause severe decline in an otherwise "healthy" tree and lawn.

For the most part, mother nature provides the majority of nutrients essential for growth and maintenance of her native trees in an undisturbed site. The soil our trees and shrubs are forced to exist in, however, is far from being an undisturbed site. A majority of the nutrient rich virgin soil is removed or covered when buildings are constructed. Many non-native trees and shrubs are planted into this compromised situation. Furthermore, most leaf litter which decomposes and adds nutrients to the soil is removed.

Thorough pruning of trees involves a great deal more than lopping off a few limbs close to the ground. Our customers have come to appreciate the value of their investment in the quality pruning by L.E. Savory Tree & Lawn Service. Trees are thoroughly inspected by our staff to determine the limbs which most need to be removed. We then remove all debris, and leave the worksite as clean as when our crews arrive. Pruning will enhance the attractiveness and safety of your trees, as well as prolong their life.

Insects and fungi can damage and possibly consume the foliage of trees and shrubs. This causes severe stress since the plant is no longer able to manufacture the sugars (photosynthesis) it depends on to remain healthy. The plant must then rely on nutrient reserves, if available, to create new leaves. Not only is the health of the tree compromised, but so is its beauty. Our Certified Arborists identify which pests exist, and then determine an appropriate plan of attack. In the battle against insects and fungi, timing and proper chemical use are everything.
