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.

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.

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.

Used them for tree trimming service; not the cheapest but it seems like they knew and cared about tree health rather than just doing whatever works. Quick and clean work, no complaints.

I had a great experience working with Alden and his team to plan out some new trees for our yard and to get some TLC for the existing ones. They've been very responsive when I've had questions and were very easy to work with.

I have a rental property where the tree over grew and started damaging the roof. Barrett had previously done some trimming for us on our primary home which I was very happy with. Our neighbots/friends also use Barrett and reported how happy they were. So I reached out again. The price was slightly higher than other…

We had tree work done the day after a huge snowstorm, and their team helped us shovel part of our walkways and our yard to be able to access the trees! Even with Mother Nature's added difficulties for their work, they did an outstanding job. 10/10!
