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 4am, in the windstorm some may remember on that day a healthy mature tree in the rear of my neighbors 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 7am 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! 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!

Barrett Tree Service's personnel were knowledgeable and professional. We had four trees (two cherries, a pear, and a redbush) that were extremely stressed, and we were hopeful that we could revive them. We are pleased with the results -- while the trees show their scars, after two years they all show a lot of life. I would say the fees are on the expensive side, but as they say ....

I have been using Barrett Tree Service for about fifteen years and I've been delighted with their work. They've been carefully helping me keep a full grown American Elm alive that I would be heartbroken to loose. They are professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

Barrett has been taking wonderful care of our 150 year old copper beech tree! They did a great job trimming off her dead branches and have been diligently seeing to her health every fall and spring. Alden and the team are keeping a close eye on beech leaf disease and offering every preventive available with the transparency that this is a moving target. We are grateful for the help to see our tree thriving!
