"Quick and Efficient Service"
Alden and his team at Barrett Tree Service did an exceptional job as certified arborists to return a number of specimen trees and bushes back to balanced, attractive, and healthy plantings.
"Genuine Lifesaver"
I never get the sense that they're trying to oversell me on services, and they genuinely love trees and the work they do.
"Accommodating Service"
They were accommodating for various "tweaks" to the plan as things came up during the work. They seemed to genuinely want to do a good job and make us happy. The results were great.
"Hire Them NOW!"
The professionalism, competence, knowledge, transparency, and clear explanations of options make our experience with Kyle and his team a huge relief. I unconditionally and enthusiastically recommend Kyle and the team at Barrett East!
"Highly Recommended"
The entire crew was friendly, and professional, and did a great job of cleaning up when the work was completed.

Very detail oriented, made sure to familiarize themselves with our site and understand the challenge of a very narrow driveway and limited space we had to approach the trees that needed to be cut.

What does “Local Care You Can Trust” mean?
Greater Boston is where we live and work. Our team understands the trees, landscapes, soils, pests and growing conditions unique to the communities we serve.
Trust comes from knowing the people caring for your property are qualified, invested in the outcome and willing to give you a straightforward recommendation, even when the answer is to do less.
How do you decide whether a tree should be preserved or removed?
The question isn't simply whether a tree can be removed. It's whether it can reasonably and safely remain, what it would take to preserve it and whether doing so makes sense for you and your property.
What is a Certified Arborist and why should I care?
Certification provides a professional foundation. A Certified Arborist has demonstrated professional knowledge and experience in arboriculture and must maintain that credential through continuing education. At BTSE, we build on that through continued education, field experience and specialists across arboriculture, plant health, safety, lawn care and related disciplines.
For our clients, that means the people making recommendations and carrying out the work have both professional knowledge and the expertise of a larger team behind them.
What makes good pruning different from simply cutting branches?
Good pruning starts with an objective and a prescription to achieve it. The right approach depends on the particular tree or plant, its age, structure, condition and what we're trying to accomplish. That may mean improving structure, reducing risk, providing clearance or preserving the character of a mature tree.
