## The honest read

Two trees down, an accurate estimate of the job time, and the yard cleaned up afterward: that is how a recent Google customer described a visit from Gentile Tree Care. The company says it serves Fairfield and Litchfield Counties and that owner Sam Gentile has worked in the industry for over 20 years.

A recent customer said Sam and the crew removed a giant spruce tree with no damage done to the property. A recent customer said they first hired the company in 2020 to bring down two trees and trim another near an outbuilding, used it again for a partial tree felling, and most recently had it grind up a few stumps.

A 2026 customer said it was the third time in eight years that Sam and his crew had worked at the house, removing a tree leaning near electrical lines along the driveway and a large hemlock right next to the house. That 2026 customer said they also mulched and cleared fallen limbs that were not part of the quoted work. A 2026 customer said the crew took down two maples touching the roof and left the logs to cut for a wood stove. A 2025 customer said a cherry picker was needed to take down a half-dead 150-year-old silver maple, and that Gentile was well equipped to do the job. A 2023 customer said Samuel Gentile and his team cut branches of tall trees hanging over the house and charged a reasonable fee.

A 2024 customer gave one star, saying they had been cleaning up the mess left behind for a week and that a tree was damaged; that 2024 customer said the owner told them not to worry about it.

Local news sites have also written about the company and Sam Gentile.

**Strengths:**
- Tree removal — a recent customer said two trees came down, yard cleaned
- A careful hemlock removal — a 2026 customer said no damage to home
- Extra cleanup — a 2026 customer said they mulched unquoted fallen limbs

**Concerns:**
- A damaged tree — a 2024 customer said a week of cleanup followed
