Description of Work: This is the third tree they have worked on; this time a large persimmon. The work was done last fall: removing redundant and dead branches, cleaning everything up afterwards. The result has been a splendid crop of persimmons this fall, in spite of the lack a water.

Description of Work: We hired Bartlett to cut down a palm tree in my grandmother's backyard. They got right back to me with a quote, the quote was very reasonable, and they performed the work within a week of me contacting them. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and professional. I'd very much recommend them.

Description of Work: Another with rave reviews that are a mystery to me: Three phone calls and two weeks later, no one has come to provide a twice-promised estimate. That's just bad service.

I would agree this is poor performance. There may have been extenuating circumstances. Regardless each call deserves a response and fulfillment of expectations. Notice however the member checked YES to used services. This is not true.

Good!
Description of Work: Have used them for about 10 years, after a bad experience of over chopping. I have a tall cedar and old walnut both original to a 1926 property. Like the way they carefully trim trees without butchering ! Use every few years to trim , thankfully had done my trimming early in 2011 before the big wind storm in december 2011. Had only minor branches break off everything else held! Plan to se again.

Excellent
Description of Work: I have used Finch to trim my trees since 1998. They do an excellent job and their pricing is fair. The last time I hired them it was to trim two large liquidambar trees in my front yard. As usual, they were prompt, did a great job and after they left, other than the trimmed trees, there was no sign on ground of their being there. They cleaned up everything.

Thanks for taking the time to comment even though the job was quite a while back. Concerned about our Price grade I checked our records and noticed Dan did give your final bill an efficiency discount of $75 off the original proposal. Perhaps that helped your reflection that our pricing was "fair". We look forward to the next visit. --Randy Finch

They are wonderful; they are professional and knowledgeable about all trees. They trimmed my huge elm tree and did a beautiful job on the canopy. They also took the dead stuff out of my oak tree and you can't even see that it has been touched. They made my crepe myrtles look really beautiful by opening them up and giving them shape. They are just excellent. They spent two whole days here because it was a big job. I use them every year and I plan on continuing to use them.

I have used this company for many years to care for my many trees and have always been satisfied. After having had one bad experience with a different company, I looked for a company that provides certified arborists and this is one of the few in the area. I have used them ever since and have my trees trimmed by them every 2-3 years. It takes them a day to complete the work on my trees, working the entire time. They once removed a very large ash tree for me with no problem. Dan Thacker (the operations manager) always shows up when he says he will to survey the project and give his quote for the work. They are very busy so that the work sometimes takes months to schedule. Especially in the fall you should call months in advance. But it is better to wait for them than it is to have a less qualified company butcher your trees. They trim and shape trees conservatively. I.E., they do not "top" trees, a process that is very ugly and is also unhealthy for the trees.
Description of Work: Almost all my trees (I have a large yard) were trimmed & thinned.

These guys are great. We have used Finch around 8 times since 2006 for various tree needs from triming to removing trees to removing stumps. Dan Thacker is the operations manager and goes over everything in detail prior to the job and offers excellent advice regarding the work that needs to be done and continued care of your trees. They do great work, actually climbing up into the trees and using hand tools rather than starting their chains saws immediately and hacking away. Their workers are professional, courteous and conscientious, trying not to damage things. Tree trimming is messy and their guys do a good job of cleaning up afterwards. My wife is extremely particular about her yard and what services she will use. Finch tree is one the top of her list when it comes to tree care. Finch's prices are reasonable when you consider the number of guys in their crew doing the work and the amount of time and effort they spend.

This is a wonderful company. They're VERY conservative, so don't call them if you want a hatchet job on your trees. They're going to do the minimum, because as they explain it, the more you trim the faster it all grows back.
Description of Work: We've used them several times for tree trimming and once for tree removal. We have about 30 trees, so we will continue to use them. For tree removal, they will remove the stump if possible, otherwise will take it down below grade. For tree trimming, they are cautious, careful, and very knowledgeable about proper season for trimming and how to trim to protect the tree's health.

Received phone call when estimator was to be a few minutes late because of traffic. Crew arrived on time the days work was scheduled. Took care to protect not only my plants, but my neighbor's also from falling branches, etc. The yard was cleaner when they left than when they arrived. Very professional. Estimator is very knowledgeable about trees and proper care. Would recommend them.
Description of Work: Trimmed 2 large elm trees, skinned a very tall palm, removed 2 small trees and replanted one in my container. (even staked it for me). Cut back lots of small tree shoots and bushes and cleared out an area with a thorny growth.

It turned out really well, and had they not come out we would have cut it down. I have used them once before. They seem to be really busy, so I have to wait and that is the biggest thing. However, they did a great job when they came over. I would like to get them back, but I know it would be a month before they will be able to schedule me in. They were here when they said they would be.

I was interested in using them to trim some trees around my yard based on the positive reviews from Angies List, but apparently they are too busy to call people back. Left 3 messages for them over a 3 day period, and never heard back. I suppose that means that they are busy and perhaps very good at their jobs, but I feel it is extremely unprofessional not respond to potential customers. While waiting for Finch, I had two other very good arborists come by the house and now I have my quotes. I won't be caling Finch in the future.

Response from Bartlett Tree Experts - 101212
Call us old fashioned in this day of instant expectations with cell phones and Blackberrys. We have an office staffed during regular business hours with the hope that our callers can at least reach a person on their first call and have confidence that the right person will be in touch as soon as practical. Call us fortunate to have field representatives who are out making sure we meet our client commitments with work in progress rather than waiting in an office to hop on the next sale. One good thing about an office is that we can keep good records. The Member called first at 5:51pm, after business hours, on a Thursday. His third call was at 1:30, less tha 24 hours, on Friday, the next day. Many of our calls are returned every day in the early afternoon between 1 and 4 when the field work is stable. In this case we did not have a chance. And, call us grateful to have many trusting clients patiently waiting in our busy calendar of committed work. While we apologize for not being able to immediately connect directly, we did leave a courtesy message to say with our full schedule we would not be able to prune his oak during the proper season this year.

Had a very large ash tree in our backyard that was uplifting the driveway and garage. Called Finch & they were very responsive and professional. The work was scheduled and completed within a week, which surprised me because a reputable tree company is sometimes very hard to get in less than 3 weeks. The workers were great, very courteous and professional as well. As I said the tree was large, so it took a few days to get the whole thing completed, from the cut down and the wood disposal.

The work crew arrived promptly on the appointed day, and started work quickly. The crew was well-skilled and courteous, completing the job in less than a full day. I was very satisfied with the result. The trees were well trimmed, the cleanup was thorough, and care was taken not to damage the smaller plants in and around the trees. This last issue had been a consistent problem with other tree services that I have used.
Description of Work: Removed dead branches from, and thinned three mature Oak trees (30 to 50 feet in height). All debris from the process was cleared and removed from the site. This work required a permit from the city of Glendale, which the company obtained on my behalf.

I was given an estimate on May 19, and their earliest appointment was July 28. This process took three visits (cut down tree/remove branches, grind stump, removal of large trunk and larger pieces of tree). Normally I would believe this could be done in one day. The estimate was to include a yard of dirt to replace vacant root area. Although I was only charged for the above said work, I thought I would have dirt instead of ground up roots. I was also given an estimate for a 24 inch replacement tree. They never contacted me again to replace the tree or soil. In the end I had a landscaper come and remove the ground up roots, replace it with soil and had the area covered with sod grass.
Description of Work: Cut down Mulberry tree, ground down stump, disposed of tree but not ground stump.
