BEDFORD HILLS, N.Y., Jan. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SavATree, an industry leader in tree, shrub, and lawn care, has announced its acquisition of Integrity Tree Service of Phoenix, Arizona. The acquisition gives SavATree entry to an attractive market through a partnership with the premier tree service business in greater Phoenix. With existing operations in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Upper Midwest, and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States, SavATree broadens its footprint with the addition of Integrity Tree Service in the Southwest, which will be the company's 34^th branch location.

"Expanding into Arizona has been a goal of ours for a long time," said Daniel van Starrenburg, CEO of SavATree. "We just needed to form a partnership with the right company. Integrity Tree Service has an excellent team, with a deep knowledge of the Southwest's landscape conditions and tree care needs. Together, we'll be able to offer clients an even wider range of services to preserve and enhance their trees and shrubs."

Integrity Tree Service was founded in 1989 by John and Kim Eisenhower and is Arizona's first Accredited Tree Service by the Tree Care Industry Association. For more than 25 years, the company has offered exceptional customer service, highly trained crews, and safe worksites. John and Kim Eisenhower, along with Integrity's team of arborists and field specialists, will stay with SavATree through the combination and continue to serve clients and properties in the area.

"Our clients are in great hands with SavATree," said John Eisenhower, owner of Integrity Tree Service. "They have a stellar reputation in the industry, and we're excited to start working together."
