Capitol Tree Care

I'm writing this review early in my experience because Capitol Tree deserves this feedback. This simply ranks as one of best experiences I've had in requesting and coordinating expertise work to be completed soon. From moment I called office number and spoke with Andy who scheduled the appointment then sent follow up text; to the on-time courteous professional informative meeting with arborist Justinian today about our property; to his efficient detailed estimate, description, and confirmation. Exceptional and rare. Thank you all.

James is top-notch!

We had Capitol Tree out to prune some live oaks on our lot away from the house. The arborist that stopped by to give an estimate was nice enough to walk me through the other trees/shrubs on the property and give advice on what to do with them as we had just bought the house and the yard needs some TLC. They had a couple weeks lead time to get the arborist out for the quote, but after that we were able to get the services done pretty quickly.

Wow - where to start. See pics - self explanatory.First, scanned the previous reviews....makes sense (5stars)...although the 1star review? Seeeems highly questionable, and doesn't mention anyone on their team (wouldn't trust that review).Regardless, James and his company are unreal - the true epitome of being experts in their field. I called randomly when I saw the vehicle on the road, because other people I tried to speak with, were just not responsive and unreliable. A quote for $1300 for 2 trees to be pruned/trimmed was wild...so I needed to compare. Very high value for the pricing, and quotes will vary depending on your work.Just call them - no need to look anywhere else, but keep reading for more detail.Honest company, an unbelievable amount of knowledge on trees, recommended I do certain things, not to do other things now & also when a better time to do them would be (due to the seasons and temps in the environment), and the workers were great / worked safe / and did an amazing job.You really don't know what great work is until it's complete and you experience something like this type of service. Some pictures here for proof.Will not be choosing anyone else again, and will absolutely use them again in the future for other projects and maintenance upkeep.Stop looking, and commit to this team to do the work for you. TOO EASY.

Hired James for ball moss removal and trimming for a bunch of live oaks and cedar elms at house that hadn't had any tree work in a decade or more. They also removed a live oak that had a major termite infestation and removed the stump. Great service, non-pushy sales / quotes, friendly desk staff, and trees look great.

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.

Shekhar Menon

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.

Gary Andrews

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.

Heather Hall

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!

Kathleen Thompson

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.

Megan Kavanaugh

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.

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

Spencer Reynolds

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.

Marlena Djukich

We are so happy to have found such knowledge people. Our oak tree was very overgrown and raggedy. Now it looks majestic and healthy thanks to their expert trimming. I will use them for all our trees from now on.

Beth Meador

We were extremely happy with the tree care that Capitol Tree Service provided for us. Our oak trees look so healthy and it has opened up our yard beautifully. James is so knowledgeable and explained thoroughly the work that needed to be done. This was our first experience in professional
tree care, and we highly recommend their services.

Lou Ann Dunn

Very knowledgeable, I appreciate the recommendations and care they took in trimming my oak trees. Will feed the trees next visit!
