Randy Bartholomew is great. He responded immediately to my request for a quote, and had the tree removed two days later. The work was done quickly and neatly. The tree that needed trimming is now very nicely shaped, and will I hope continue to be easier to work with. When we were going over what needed to be done, Randy also noticed that the maple tree on the parkway was dying, pointing out bees or hornets that were flying in and out through a hollow at the base of the tree. That will be taken care of separately, since it's a city tree. Definitely recommend Bartholomew Tree Service for excellent, fast work.
Description of Work: Needed a dead tree removed, and a small Japanese Maple trimmed

Randy is professional, knowledgeable, and patiently answered all my questions. His crew is exceptional. They are considerate and timely and professional as well. The crew worked until everything was complete and then cleaned up as if they were never here. My yard looks better than it ever has! Worth every penny!

We got three bids. We chose Randy because he was knowledgeable about the trees and wanted to do what was best for the vegetation. Versus the other offers to cut it all down and start over. His crew was great! Topo (I think that's his name) was the crew leader that spoke English. Anytime I asked him to do something else, he responded matter of factly. (Sometimes, I feel like I am asking and shouldn't be.) Neither Randy nor he ever hesitated about doing more. In the end, neighbors texted saying how fabulous the yard looked!!
Description of Work: He matched the day rate of another service provider. His crew spent the day cleaning up my entire property. They removed 5 trees, topped off several pear trees, removed dead limbs, removed several tree/bushes, trimmed every bush in the yard (raised them up off the ground and thinned them), removed weed trees that were strangling good ones, trimmed up and around 40' evergreens around the pool. They did more than we discussed because they got that done and then spent the day going above and beyond.

Randy then came back on two occasions to further trim our bushes because he felt they needed more attention. I highly recommend Randy and his crew.
Description of Work: The owner, Randy, completely supervised my project. They completely removed an enormous oak tree. They also took down two smaller trees and trimmed and pruned all of the trees and bushes in our yard. Randy also had his crew clean out our gutters.

Description of Work: Don't really remember date or price. He trimmed all the evergreens that were dying. It was 2013 or before. I will call him I the spring for an estimate on more work.

We had many dead and some live trees that needed to be removed. We had worked with Barthollomew Tree Service in the past with smaller jobs and were impressed. This job however was on a much larger scale, and once again, very impressed. Randy and his crew were at our house for 4 days removing carefully trees from very small to very large. Some were in tricky spots that hung over our roof. The crew took great care in removing all the trees carefully and with no damage to the house or surrounding trees. They were always on time and very nice. They even hung the rope for a tree swing for me a no charge! They were recommended to us by our neighbor who uses them often and was very happy with their service and pricing. I am so glad they did. You really wont go wrong with Barthollomew.

They arrived mid-afternoon and worked very efficiently to cut down both trees. The larger one had limited space in which to fell limbs but they expertly dropped each one exactly where they wanted it. They carried out all the cut logs and brush then raked the yard to remove debris.
Description of Work: Removed two trees from my backyard, a very large mulberry and a smaller magnolia. Cut, chipped and hauled all debris.

Randy was very professional and provided a very detailed proposal. The team arrived exactly on time and worked until it was done which ended up being quite late. The yard looked wonderful when everything was done.
Description of Work: I had several tree's with the ash bore as well as maple tree's that needed to be lighten up. This service was professional and his proposal and estimate was exactly what was charged.
