We had a very large tree removed from our property and Barrett tree service did an amazing job. They were quick, efficient and didn't leave any mess! Highly recommended!

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…

100% satisfied. Barrett walked the area, identified a plan, promptly removed a dead oak, and established a schedule for other work. They cleaned up after the tree removal, as well. I could not be more satisfied.

They charge a small fee for a consult/estimate, but it was well worth it. Keith spent a lot of time discussing our tree situation as well as offering advice about other tree, schrub, and lawn issues. The tree removal itself was very efficient and the cleanup was great. Their cost was the same as another major tree service.

We have them come twice a year to treat our trees for winter moths and we recently had them take down a very large tree. They have also come out at no charge to assess a tree for us. They always call when they've arrived to let us know they'll be on our property. Everyone is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, reliable, and responsive.

Their quality and service are exceptional. I’ve been using their services for year to take care of our bushes and keep our trees healthy. We use their organic lawn care now too. I am always happy!

Barrett has done lots of work for me over the years, from massive tree removal (with cranes lifting pieces over my house) to yearly spraying and tree trimming. I trust them completely and find them very organized, helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Everyone I interacted with at Barrett Tree was friendly, polite and professional. I've used 3 or 4 different tree companies over the years and Barrett Tree is by far the best. I will use them again without hesitation.

We had a dying ash tree perilously close to our neighbor's electrical service drop, but Barrett Tree Service was able to take it down in under two hours, even though branches were all in the electrical lines. They even chipped it on site, allaying our worry of spreading the pest which killed the tree.

This is the second or third time we've used Barrett, and we've been pleased every time. Most recently, in addition to trimming a large oak, they removed a multitude of invasive vines and small volunteer trees. They were also very good about connecting to neighbors whose property they had to access to remove trimmed branches.

Barrett Tree Service provided excellent service for the tree in front of my house. The tree needed to be trimmed and cabled. They did a very professional and competent job. I would definitely use them again for any of my tree and/or shrub needs.

Barrett Tree East has been maintaining our trees for over 10 years. We have an assigned arborist that we work with who knows the property. They are professional, knowledgeable, responsive and do excellent work. We have a very large property and have used other tree companies over the years. Barrett is by far the best.
