When a tree fell across one recent customer's driveway, the owner, Steve, came out right away and cleared the entire driveway himself, that customer said. A-1 Tree Service says on its website it has been in the business more than 25 years, and it lists a service area of Waterbury, Torrington, Bristol, Turner, Thomaston, Litchfield, New Haven and Hartford. One recent customer said Steve was at the house within 2 hours of a call for a tree-removal estimate, and that he and his team came back the following morning to cut down 5 large trees in the backyard. A customer writing recently said all trees and stumps were removed along with additional debris, leaving the area clean. A 2025 customer in the Litchfield hills said Steve addressed concerns about dead oak and hickory limbs and two dead standing trees, and that his crew came out a few days later. That 2025 customer said the wood they chose to keep was cut into small logs and stacked in neat piles. A 2024 customer said Steve came by after a large limb fell, told them the tree was solid, and removed the limb wedged in the fence without charging. A 2024 customer wrote that another tree service had said the job was too big, and that Kevin, the climber and feller, brought down two large pines. A 2023 customer had two very large trees close to the house, a shed, a propane tank and a septic system, and said both trees were removed with minimal evidence they were ever there. A 2022 reviewer from the FISH Shelter and Food Pantry said A-1 removed two trees and trimmed others there on the pantry's closed day, within a week of the request.

5/5 Stars - Incredible Emergency Service!I cannot recommend A-1 Tree Service highly enough! A massive tree fell directly across my driveway, completely blocking us in. I called them and received an immediate response. The owner, Steve, came out to my house right away to assess the situation. He didn't just coordinate the job—he rolled up his sleeves and cleared the entire driveway himself in a remarkably short amount of time. Steve was professional, efficient, and a lifesaver during a stressful moment. If you need reliable, fast, and high-quality tree service, call A-1 Tree Service first!
Professional and extremely responsive. Communication was top notch. The crew was expedient and did a spit shine job. Thanks Steve and Karen 👍
Steve was at my house within 2 hrs of calling him for an estimate on tree removal. The following morning he and his team were back to cut down 5 large trees in my backyard. They worked quickly and did a great job removing the wood. I highly recommend A-1 to anyone needing tree services. Pat DelNigro
