    Very Happy with the Service
    Barrett Tree Service East is a great company. We have been working with them for 3 years and are very happy with the service. They are very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive when we have had to deal with problems in our garden. Besides tree stump removal and tree trimming and pruning, we have them come every year to treat our shrubs and trees with great results. I have to add that all their technicians and staff are very nice and easy to communicate with.

    I Have a Tree Company I Can Rely On
    I have a rental property where the tree overgrew and started damaging the roof. Barrett had previously done some trimming for us on our primary home, which I was very happy with. Our neighbors/friends also use Barrett and reported how happy they were. So I reached out again. The price was slightly higher than other companies I contacted. I wanted the job done well, so I went with Barrett. I was very happy with the results and how the company took care of the tree and came back to follow up on a branch they did not expect when they initially did the estimate and work without charging me extra. Thank you, Barrett! I am happy to know I have a tree company I can rely on. I will be using Barrett again in the future.

    They Did an Outstanding Job
    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!

    Barrett Tree East Has My Highest Recommendation
    I have been using Barrett Tree East for at least 20 years, since the days when Trumbull Barrett himself would typically be on the crew. I always thought very highly of them, and have reviewed them before. My most recent experience exceeded my prior uniformly positive ones, and deserves its own write-up. On 30 December last year, at 4 a.m., in the windstorm some may remember on that day, a healthy mature tree in the rear of my neighbor's yard gave way at its base and fell across the property line and across much of my house, smashing several skylights and with limbs punching holes in the roof. The skylights were over my bed, but fortunately we were all out of town. The weather was dry with snow predicted on the night of the 31st. My contractor could not board and tarp up the holes without the huge tree being removed. Our house is on a steep grade, above the street, with close spacing to the next houses, and machine access to the rear yard is impossible. Calling from abroad, I spoke with Keith mid-morning on the 30th, and barely 20 hours later at 7 a.m. on the 31st, Barrett's crew showed up with a huge crane, a police detail, and a stellar crew of tree climbers, etc. The tree was removed by just about noon (I was still abroad so not sure) and there was ample time even in the short days for my contractor to cover the holes and prevent water damage on top of it all. The paperwork Keith supplied was impeccable as well, breaking down the services the way the insurance co. likes to see it, and full payment for the tree removal is already approved. Through Barrett (and my contractor) I managed an unfortunate situation from afar, and my family and I are really extremely lucky. Barrett Tree East continues to have my highest possible recommendation. They haven't slipped an iota in service over many years!

    I cannot recommend Barrett Tree Services highly enough!
    I cannot recommend Barrett Tree Services highly enough! We recently undertook a major home renovation that included work on our retaining walls and the house itself, and we were very concerned about the impact on our existing trees. The team at Barrett was incredible. They successfully relocated two trees—a delicate job they handled with care and precision. Beyond the physical work, their expertise was invaluable. They provided a comprehensive plan to protect our other established trees during construction. It is rare to find a company that is so knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely committed to the long-term health of your landscape. If you have a complex project or simply need true experts to care for your trees, call them. They made a stressful renovation process much easier for us!
