I had a great experience with Barrett.

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.

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.

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.

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.
