In 2018 Capitol Tree Care cabled and braced our tree out front. During the ice/snow storms both halves of the tree were heavily laden with ice and snow, and they didn't split apart. Outstanding job - we can't thank you enough for the excellent work you did. It has definitely held up through time and weather.

We have used Capitol Tree Care for our tree-trimming and removal needs for over 3 years now. James and his company are the epitome of professionalism and reliability. They go above and beyond . We would not go with anyone else. James is honest and will let you know if a branch really needs to be cut down - not just doing work for the sake of making money but actually for taking care of your home and the trees.

Our home has over 12 mature Oaks and 8 Cedars and 4 other native trees. We typically get a intensive tree trimming once every 5 years. Since Oak Wilt is a big concern, we make sure we have an ISA certified Arborist do the work. In December 2020, we chose Capital Tree Care as we felt very comfortable with James Burtchell. We could not have been happier with the results. His tree trimming team was professional and worked all day in completing everything in the contract. They were very thorough, respectful of the property and did a great job in the cleanup. There were two Bradford Pear trees that we were having removed as well and they ran out of time to complete that last task. They said they would be back the next day to complete. I got a call from James Burtchell the next day and he said since his crew was busy with their next job, that he would come out and take care of the two trees which he did. Showed dedication by doing the job himself. He also noted that he would rather be out doing this kind of work than in the office doing the "boring" business part. We would highly recommend Capital Tree Care. Although it is smaller than some of the other certified businesses out there; they are building a really good reputation thanks to the owner (James) who is passionate about what he is doing.

I had a large tree that was overhanging my back fence and colliding with delivery trucks that needed some drastic trimming. James came out to talk about the immediate need and to look at the other large trees in the yard, at my request. I'm not currently working so he was kind enough to itemize the recommendations, giving me options to trim or remove the tree, and went over other recommendations in detail to ensure the health of my large trees. The team that did the work were also incredible. They were kind, timely and thorough. They even swept the front porch while clearing the brush. I'm so thrilled to have the danger of the back tree tackled at long last; it makes me happy every time I see it. Looking forward to using them again!

Great customer service. From the moment I picked up the phone, Kasi was friendly and made scheduling easy. James was extremely knowledgable and insightful in taking care of my needs. He came at the scheduled time, provided a quote on the spot and answered all questions with depth and further resources.

We had a wonderful experience with our tree inspection. They respond promptly to inquiries and each person I’ve interacted with has been highly professional. James is the certified arborist who visited our home. He was running a bit behind due to something lasting longer in the morning than anticipated but the office called me in advance to let me know of the delay. When he arrived, he was thorough and answered all of my questions (despite likely running behind for other customers as well). I appreciate the integrity and honesty of Capitol Tree Care and also the fact that I never felt pressured into purchasing additional services.

James and his team did a great job of diagnosing and treating a fungal infection in a huge, beautiful oak tree in our yard. After several years with almost no foliage, the tree is back to life. James and Kasi made sure that everything went smoothly and they did the job at a cost that was ultimately lower than the original estimate. Honesty, fairness, and outstanding work!

Capitol Tree Care offers great service -- I used them for tree pruning, removal, and stump grinding. James and Kasi were great to work with, as were their crews. Very reliable -- and quite conscientous of the yard/house when doing their work. Highly recommend!
Juliana Ross
James and his team went above and beyond for us! They did quite a bit of tree work at our property cabling up a tree limb, root exposure on several live oaks and cleaning up dead limbs and ball moss out of the canopies. They are extremely knowledgable, priced fairly and do excellent work. I highly recommend them for tree care services!
Kyle Sanders
Moved into a new house that had neglected to take care of a few trees. Hired James and his team to handle tree removal of a smaller tree that was growing into a fence, as well as tree trimming for a live oak in the front yard that the previous owners hadn't taken great care of. The team showed up on time, got the job done quickly, and left no mess. James' insight on other trees on the property and options to replace with higher quality trees was also very helpful. Highly recommend.
Tamara Smart
James and his team are beyond AMAZING!! I wish we had need to work with them again. Super great price, service and everything. Cannot speak more highly of Capitol Tree Care and you should book your tree things with them for sure

Capitol Tree helped me with some tree removal and stump grinding. They were professional in the process of assessing the work and making a quote, competitively priced, and provided excellent service. Worried about a tree hanging over your home, these are the people to chat with.
Carol Fell
Before Capitol Tree Care showed up yesterday, the trees in my front yard looked like large, overgrown shrubs. Now, I have two vibrant oak TREES and a lovely mountain laurel. There isn't a branch or leaf left on the lawn after the cleanup, either!! Great job!!!
Rick Barker
My wife and I were convinced that we had a hopelessly diseased tree. Although there are issues with the tree, James showed me that there was no disease, and told me that the tree is a Chinese Elm, not an oak variety as I had thought. All in all he provided invaluable information for caring for the tree. I will definitely call him the next time I have questions about my trees. I have dealt with several other arborists, and James was the most knowledgeable and helpful one - I highly recommend him and Capitol Tree Care.
Lynn Flippen
James was responsive, knowledgeable and complete with his assessment. Kasi was always very courteous and patient when I called the office. Nate, worked very hard to ensure my expectations were met. I appreciated the full staff on communication throughout the project. Very reasonable price and excellent work.
Joe Mink
We had a very large oak tree in my front yard that was causing considerable damage to my driveway so I began researching Austin area arborists to consult with me on solutions to the problem. I received several recommendations for Capitol Tree Care. Right from the start, James Burtchell (owner and certified arborist) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in reviewing the situation carefully and expertly to determine whether the tree could be saved without potentially exposing the foundation of my house to serious damage. With his input I felt comfortable in the decision to have the tree removed. The office manager was attentive in scheduling the work to be done and answering questions and the tree removal crew worked efficiently in removing the tree and cleaning up completely afterward. I'd definitely recommend James to friends and neighbors for any tree care work.
Brittney Cavalli
My husband and I were looking to replace a dead tree in our front yard, and a coworker of mine recommended we use Capitol Tree Care. We are so glad we did! James provides phenomenal service, and he is extremely knowledgeable in the field and takes great pride in his work. He helped us determine what sort of tree would work well for our needs and requirements, and happily answered all of our many questions. When we finally made our decision, his turnaround on planting was quick. The tree is beautiful and was well planted. He gave us care instructions, and has helped us out since then by answering questions and even coming by to look at it when we were worried about the progress (it turned out we were over-watering it, so he told us what to do and said to contact him again in a few weeks if we didn't see improvement). I cannot say enough great things about the quality of care and service he provides. With reasonable prices and top-notch service and quality, I would highly recommend Capitol Tree Care!
Mike Paclik
We have used Capitol Tree Care on various projects for tree care. James is very knowledgeable and responsive when we need them on a job quickly. Their prices are also reasonable considering how diligent they are with their work techniques when it comes to trimming trees. We would definitely recommend them.

We had a good experience with Capitol Tree Care. Their four workers did a great job raising the crown and cleaning up our two oaks in our front yard. They also cleaned everything up and hauled it away. The price was very reasonable.

Trees are vital in Texas during our hot summers and can add value to homes. I wanted to make sure I was protecting my trees, and I wanted to make sure I had the best professional help available to ensure that my trees would continue to thrive in my yard. I appreciate Capital Treee Care looking after my trees and keeping them healthy.
