Tree Service · Stratford, CT
One form — Vesta carries your request to them, replies come straight to you.
Best of four quotes, twice, from different homeowners — and the acre-clearing crew came back unasked to finish a section the weather had cost them.
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.
Crane removals
One of the very few tree services we track equipped for crane-assisted removals — the answer for oversized trees or tight-access lots.
Land & lot clearing
One of the few tree services we track that take on full land and lot clearing, not just single-tree removal.

121 homeowner reviews on record — one of the most-reviewed tree services in Fairfield County.
Top-rated at scale
Holds a top-tier homeowner rating across all 121 reviews — consistency at a volume most firms never reach.
What homeowners say
121 public reviews on record
A family operation that keeps winning the spreadsheet: multiple homeowners gathered four quotes and this one came in best — then the work over-delivered anyway, from crane lifts over a house out of a landlocked backyard to hemlocks shaped with topiary care away from power lines. The range is unusual, stretching from single-tree precision to acre-plus clearing, and the follow-through detail that anchors the record is a crew returning unprompted to finish a weather-interrupted section. Cleanup accounts extend to the street itself. Deep, multi-year, and essentially dissent-free.
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 they’re known for
Crane jobs at crew prices
Sections lifted over houses and no-access backyards handled with equipment for any size job, while still winning multi-quote comparisons.
From one hemlock to an acre
Power-line-adjacent precision shaping on one end, full land clearing on the other — same family, same care.
Finishes the whole job
Stumps ground and filled, wood cut to order and left, yards and even the street cleaner than before.
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.
