Tree removal, pruning and the yard work around them are what people call Trout Brook Arborists for, and its Google listing shows 4.9 stars from 233 ratings. The company says it started in 2006 mowing lawns along Trout Brook drive, then took on yard cleaning, mulching and garden installation. Its website names a service area of West Hartford and nearby towns such as Wethersfield, Glastonbury, Farmington and Avon. A recent customer said a large tree fell on an aunt's home in Connecticut and sat on the roof, and that Andrew Bachman came out quickly, assessed the situation and handled the emergency removal. A recent customer wrote that an urgent tree removal was accommodated over a holiday weekend, at pricing that customer called fair. A recent customer said Ian came, gave an estimate on a large tall tree, and the work could be scheduled within a week. A recent customer said the crew came to trim larger trees, arborvitae and some shrubbery, stopped to ask the customer's opinion on the trimming, and took care not to disturb the surrounding perennials. A recent customer said Trout Brook designed and planted a flower and shade garden around a bird bath in the back yard, with its landscape designer Matt listening to the customer's preferences. A 2024 customer said one tree they removed was approximately 85 feet tall and 4 feet in diameter at the base, taken down with their crane. A 2025 customer said Andrew was on site the entire job operating the crane while pruning that customer's trees. A 2025 customer said an online inquiry about an urgent limb, sent around 4 pm on a Sunday, brought Andrew out that afternoon, and the limb was taken care of the next afternoon. A 2022 customer said Andrew and his team showed up 2 hours after a tree hit the house and removed it with no further damage. A 2025 customer said they had used its snow removal service for many years. A 2026 customer said the work done to sell a mother's house left mulch so thin that black weed paper showed, that both pine trees were trimmed badly, and that promised debris cleanup did not happen, so the customer did it. A 2025 customer said they arrived 45 minutes late and cut branches fell onto solar panels; after a missed email request they came back, cleaned the sun roof and cleaned the gutters at no charge. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0634212, as active, held by Trout Brook Arborists.
“Trout Brook Arborists were able to handle the Emergency Tree Removal Professionally & Efficiently with their Crane.”
Exceptional service from start to finish. He accommodated an urgent tree removal over a holiday weekend with remarkable kindness and professionalism. His pricing was exceptionally fair, and the care, precision, and expertise evident in his work exceeded every expectation. We recommend him without reservation.
Trout Brook Arborists came to trim our larger trees, the arborvitae and some of our shrubbery. The crew was knowledgeable and careful in their work on all of our trees and shrubs. Although they had clear guidance from Andrew, they stopped to ask our opinion on the trimming and whether it was to our liking. They took care not to disturb the surrounding perennials and their cleanup was meticulous. We would highly recommend Trout Brook Arborists. It is clear they were trained well, are well informed and care about the work they do.
Coming up on 10 years working with Andrew and his team at Troutbrook Landscaping. Much like a fine wine they just keep getting better. Responsive, reliable, attentive. Whenever I need anything it gets done exactly as I was hoping and super quickly! Mowing, plowing, mulch, trimming, gutters, fall / spring cleanup, or even emergency tree removal. Troutbrook provides value and services for me year round! If you need any of these services I highly recommend.
Excellent work and easy and professional to deal with. We had a large tall tree that needed to come down. Ian came, gave an estimate and we were able to schedule the work within a week. They did a great job and left the yard spotless. Highly recommend.
The Trout Brook folks did an amazing job designing and planting a flower and shade garden around a bird bath in our back yard. Their landscape designer Matt did an excellent job, listening to our preferences and creating a garden with year 'round beauty. The folks who planted the garden were both speedy and thorough. All around, a great experience with this local company.
