I've used these guys twice. Super professional, always on time, get the work done faster than expected. Also very nerdy about trees, if you're into that.

We've used Barrett Tree Service for almost 20 years now (I remember when Trumbull used to come to do the estimates himself!). They do a great job keeping the trees in my yard healthy! They're on time and do a great job cleaning up after! Highly recommended!

As far as I can tell, the tree service is great. I had a little trouble communicating my requests about billing and was charged extra because of this.

I had a great experience with Barrett. Greg went above and beyond for a consultation, taking time to explain how to care for all the large plants on our property and even looking at some of our neighbor's large trees. We contracted them to remove five large yew shrubs and the price and quality of the work was very good. They spent time cleaning up the area after the work was done, leaving everything looking very good. The stump grinder did not damage the lawn it rolled across.

This is the 2nd time I've had Barrett Tree come out to my property for significant tree work. The last time 8 years ago they removed two trees and trimmed everything else. This time it was the same thing. In both cases the work was everything a homeowner could hope for. Quality work, cleaned up everything, great communication, you name it. Pricing seemed fair for top-notch licensed and insured pros. In a few years I'll have them back again. VERY highly recommended. I wish every project was this easy. Just hire these guys, they're great.

I have loved working with Barrett Tree Service. They came out to help with cutting some trees and making them healthier and we actually have used them for a new lawn. They have this process with seeding which is so amazing. I can't believe in one month my lawn looks amazing. Justin Adams and Blake have been so helpful. Always showing me the process, answering questions and be so available. You should definetly use this company.

Company was quick to send out knowledgeable and friendly consultant who turned around a fast itemized plan to care for our trees. Work was scheduled in a timely manner and all staff we interacted with were professional and seemed to really care about our trees.
