The technicians were great:  Brian, Frank, Cesar and Cargil did an excellent job.  Professional, friendly, timely and completely cleaned up the area.  Great business!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian Garcia, Caleb, and Zach came out today to remove two trees for us, and they did an amazing job!  They were kind, professional, safe, quick, thorough, mindful of our property, and helpful answering questions we had.  I have had nothing but great work done using Capitol Tree Care, and will continue to use them for our tree related needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian, Caleb and Zach of Capitol Tree Care did an amazing job trimming our trees and installing a dynamic cable to lift a limb away from the roof. They were professional and double checked their work. They also did a great job cleaning up the work area. I would recommend Capitol Tree Care to anyone needing tree service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian Garcia, Caleb and Zack H spent two intense days removing a dying monster of a red oak tree in my yard.  Much of the trunk and branches had to be cut into small, very heavy pieces and hauled away.  I can't even explain how much sawdust there was.  They also cleared the lower hanging branches of several live oaks.  They are hard workers!

And today, Brian Garcia, Zack H., and Caleb were genuinely artists in the work they did on our trees. Will use them again, I'm certain.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Capitol Tree Care pruned up two Burr Oaks and a Crape Myrtle in our front yard. They were easy to work with, efficient, fast and high quality. Did a great job to keep our healthy trees looking great with a trim!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been meaning to write a review and just remembered.  These guys came out last month and I met Cargil (I'm pretty sure i still can't say his name correctly).  He explained everything very clearly, felt honest, and seemed like he cared. Their team came out a few days later to trim my trees, which were in pretty bad shape.  The team was quick and the trees look great.  They cleaned up after themselves like they were never here which i appreciate.  Now i walk around my neighborhood judging other, untrimmed, trees.
