Brother Tree & Lawn Service
Tree Service · Stratford, CT
One form — Vesta carries your request to them, replies come straight to you.
Six estimates gathered for nine giant pines — this one came in significantly under them all, and the job still drew the superlatives.
Where it stands
What sets them apart on the signals Vesta can verify — public records, manufacturer credentials, and a deep read of review history, not a paid placement.
Cabling & bracing
One of the few tree services we track who cable and brace structurally weak trees to save them — specialized arborist work.
What homeowners say
31 public reviews on record
The field work and the front office tell two different stories, and an honest read carries both. On the tree side the record runs long and warm — a family crew that wins six-way price comparisons on giant-pine removals, cables what can be saved, keeps homeowners involved mid-job, and protects lawns under heavy equipment, with repeat customers going back many years. The friction is almost entirely before the trucks arrive: several independent voices describe missed appointments, long waits, unreturned calls, and a language barrier on the phone line. For homeowners who get on the schedule, the outcomes in this sample are consistently strong at prices that are hard to beat.
Summarized by Vesta from public reviews · analyzed July 2026 — Vesta’s own wording, not the business’s, and never a copy of any single review.

What to check before you hire
Vesta’s plain checklist for tree crews. General guidance about the trade — not a claim about this business.
Insurance first — this is the one trade where it decides everything
Tree work is the riskiest job that happens on a home lot. Ask for current liability AND workers'-comp certificates from the insurer, not a photocopy — if an uninsured climber is hurt on your property, the claim can land on you.
Ask about the CT arborist license for tree care
Connecticut licenses arborists through DEEP — pruning, cabling, and treating trees for hire is licensed work. Straight removals sit outside the license, but for anything meant to keep a tree healthy, ask whether a licensed arborist is on the job.
Get the full scope in writing
Removal vs. pruning, whether the stump is ground out, what happens to the wood and brush, lawn and driveway protection, and whether a crane is needed — each changes the price. A one-line "take the tree down" quote hides all of it.
Be wary of storm-chasers
Crews that knock on the door after a storm, quote cash-only, or push same-day decisions are the classic red flag in this trade. A reputable crew gives a written estimate — even in an emergency.
