Completed each task in separate visits... Were very detailed in the description of the work to be completed and took great care to protect my property when completing the tasks. Clean up was great as was the job overall. Price was fair in comparison to other quotes I had done. I'd highly recommend Bartlett and would use them again.
Description of Work: One large tree taken down and removed... tree was in tenuous position and the team did a great job to protect my deck and the houses in vicinity. Loosened and enriched soil surrounding an additional tree. Covered the area in bark nuggets.

Thank you for your positive review. I'm glad we were able to identify and remove the declining pecan in your deck before it caused any problems. The soil decompaction and root invigoration will certainly help the remaining pecan thrive in the coming years. Best regards, Art Morris, BCMA

Horrible experience. They give the tree business a bad name.
Description of Work: DO NOT USE BARTLETT TREE EXPERTS! I had the job quoted around January. Around 3 medium to large tree removed and around 4 limb trims. The initial quote was 1700. The representative was fired for some reason. So I had another rep come out to confirm the job. He said the price was good and the job would not be a problem. He said the rep was fired for a totally different reason. Contracts were drawn up and agreed upon. At the day of service the crew showed up looked at the job and walked off. Very rude. The supervisor showed up 45 min later and said the job was miss quoted and they would need 3700 to complete the job. They new I needed the work done before my roof went on and they were trying to take advantage of the situation. I had many extra quotes done from other companines, 1700 was a fair price. I gave him many opportunities to think about what he was about to do. I told him to reconsider and he blew me off. This company has serious internal issues. I called and left a message with the regional manger after 2 weeks no response. I eventually requoted the job and got it done with Monroe tree works. They did the job and some extra work for 2000. I asked the owner of Monroe and he said 3700 for what I was going to get was basically criminal. This company looks good from the outside but they are dirty on the inside. Don't use them.

Our most recent services were to have branches trimmed back from power and phone wires and other trees shaped and thinned. All went well. Sadly, we will have to have an old dying cherry tree removed and replaced with some other flowering tree later this year.
Description of Work: We've been using Bartlett on a continuing basis for over 20 years at two different homes. We haven't had a year go by without an on-site inspection since we started dealing with them. They're not the cheapest, but, in our family's opinion, they are the best. They are NOT just "tree surgeons" or "removal experts". Their trained arborists, many with advanced degrees, will do everything possible to save any ailing trees, and they are extremely capable when tree removal or partial removal is required. They also can provide periodic inspections, feedings and treatment of all trees and shrubs on your property, as well as planting new or replacement trees and shrubs. We've used most of their services at one time or another over the years. We started with them when we needed to stop aphid dew from showering our deck from a nearby yellow poplar. They treated the tree systemically, and that killed the aphids while saving the tree. We are sure in the knowledge that the trees surrounding our home are healthy and not likely to break or fall in a storm or heavy rain. Obviously we can never be 100% positive that we will avoid that kind of disaster, but we are sure that our trees are all healthy and solidly rooted. With all the trees that have been falling due to being over-stressed by drought during the early 2000s, we feel much more comfortable in our well shaded home.

Great! i would recommend them!
Description of Work: I just took advantage of the free estimate. I had specific questions/concerns about several trees on my property. Art showed up right on time and was very helpful. We prioritized what needed to be done and Art also pointed out what didn't need to be done, which I really appreciate. I will be using Bartlett for my tree removal/maintenance. I'll post another review afterwords, but I'm confident it will be a good one!

Strong wind gusts broke a green limb on our sweet gum tree. However, the large/heavy limb did not fall to the ground. We called Art Morris and scheduled an evaluation/estimate. We love this company and shook hands on the price instead of waiting for the paperwork. We agreed that they could fit this small job into their busy schedule. Actually they lost track of us, but after just one reminder call, they were out the next day and did a great job as usual. A few weeks latter, the neighbor's lawn service trailer/truck struck our sidewalk/street crepe myrtle hit-and-run style. This large/heavy limb broke off with a jagged stump. We emailed Art Morris for a evaluation/estimate and asked them to take care of this as soon as possible. That same day the work was completed at no cost (gratis). We feel valued and recognized as a good repeat customer and completely trust the judgment of their arborist, Art Morris.
Description of Work: 1) Cut damaged green limb from gigantic sweet gum tree. 2) Cut/trimmed broken limb from street side crepe myrtle.

Our most recent contact was to get advice on an ailing older cherry tree. We'll be removing it sometime next year and replacing it with another tree type, most likely a maple. We've been using Bartlett Tree Experts for around twenty five years at two different homes. We've been at our current residence for six and a half years. Our original contact had to do with eliminating aphid dew from a large poplar tree onto our deck. The Bartlett arborist first inspected our poplar along with some other trees that we had other concerns about, including an elm infected with Dutch Elm Disease, and then gave us a quote. We agreed to the contract and they returned to treat, feed, trim and repair the affected trees. Since the poplar was over 50 feet tall, the aphids had to be controlled by the injection of a systemic pesticide. We were able to use our deck again after that treatment. I was very impressed with the quality of Bartlett's work back then, and we've continued having them annually inspect and treat our trees as required. It became obvious early on that keeping trees healthy and in place is much more important to the Bartlett company that just doing tree removal for a quick buck. That's our concern as well. We have them inspect our trees at least annually, and then we do whatever they suggest. Their personnel has changed gradually over the years, but people tend to stay with them for a very long time. All of the arborists we've dealt with have had an applicable masters degree. Bartlett offers annual care services for shrubs and other woody plants, but our concerns have been mainly with keeping our trees as long as possible and avoiding damage from falling unhealthy trees. The largest tree they ever removed for us, at their suggestion, was a lighting-struck ninety-foot-tall hickory that was gradually rotting inward from the lighting scar. It was a beautiful tree, and we hated to lose it. We discovered after they finished the removal that the tree had rotted over half way through, even though it looked pretty healthy as far as my wife and i could tell. A good windstorm would have broken the trunk, dropping it directly onto the house, most likely cutting it in two.
Description of Work: Over the years (more than 25) we've spent several thousand dollars for Bartlett's services. These services were for treating diseased trees, trimming large trees, removing dead or dying trees, providing and planting new trees and crepe myrtles. We ALWAYS have them make an annual inspection, and we are billed only for actual services provided as a result of those inspections, not for the inspections themselves. They've saved us at least once (See below) from severe damage to our home which would have definitely resulted from our not removing a damaged and diseased tree.

I used them for the condo because I don?t own the property. They did an excellent job. We were very pleased. They first came out and did an inspection and then offered some alternatives so that we could choose whether to save the tree or take the tree down, they gave us the pros and cons of each option. They made an estimate of how likely it was that the tree would survive because we never know these things. They also told us what it would cost to take it down if that were our choice. They first sent an arborist who made the assessment and then the work crew came out and both were terrific. I would use them again in the future.

This is the second time we have had Bartlett provide services - they did an excellent job in 2005 (not long after we had moved into our house) and thought it was wise to have the arborist, Art Morris, review our trees (as we have a large number and variety of trees on our property and there have been some recent dramatic tree falls in our neighborhood) - in the end, nothing was a big problem - the work was completed in two parts - part two was the liquid treatments and the only hiccup was the need to call a couple of times to schedule the service - otherwise, the service was totally professional, they cleaned up after themselves, they worked near our backyard bee hives without concern - in a few year, we will be contacting them again
Description of Work: (1) A brace rod in a split stem cryptomeria - (2) crype myrtles (near our house) thinned - (3) tulip poplar's dead branches removed - (4) water oak treated for lecanium scale - (5) ornamental cherry fed with 30-7-9 - (6) removed a dead limb from a street side dogwood - (7) tidied some lower branches on a (ugly!) leyland cypress

They looked at the tree and said that they thought they could save it as opposed to just cutting it down. They will come back next year to check on it and give it more treatments. It would have cost $1600 to take it down, compared to us paying much less to treat it and keep it in the yard. We were very pleased with their knowledge and ability to do what we requested. Their goal is to keep it bug free and help the tree heal from the lightening damage, which will take some time.
Description of Work: We had a tree that needed help after being hit by lightening. We were hoping to keep the tree, as it is a the biggest tree in our yard.

They did a wonderful job! Three guys were here from 8:15am until 4:00pm. They did a great job carefully taking down the trees making sure not to hit any of my sprinkler heads and they did a great job cleaning up. They had a couple of questions during the process and didn't hesitate to come ask before they did something which I appreciated.

The guy who came, gave me the estimate was very professional. The first time they came they didn't even touch one of the trees. They only trimmed one side of another tree. I think that they had some type of communication break down between the crew. I wouldn't hire them again because they never finished the job to my satisfaction.

In our area, Bartlett is a well known firm with professional opinions about trees. They are knowledgeable, polite, friendly, and chatty but not too over-talkative. They are very confident and good at what they do. Two years ago, they suggested putting a cable in our Oak tree, which is our largest tree. Well, my wife and I forgot about the cable and that we had to get it checked every couple of years. But when inspected this time, I was impressed to see that they still remembered to check it, as if they were really concerned about our tree.

The company was the ONLY one to respond to my request for a quote. Art Morris arrived on time the next day, was extremely professional and polite, and quoted me a price via email a few hours later. Tyler and the rest of the work crew showed up ON TIME, and were also extremely professional. They did all the work in a timely manner and I am extremely pleased.
Description of Work: Bartlett cut down a huge ash tree, part of which had already snapped off and crushed my neighbor's roof. They cut the wood into sections and hauled it off, along with all the debris on my yard from that tree AND another large tree that had been cut down before I bought the house. In addition to this, the company trimmed a few extremely high branches from one of my trees to help me get a better satellite TV signal.
