Chris Larkin at Bartlett Tree Experts went out of his way to accommodate our deadline to get air spading done. He visited our house several times to see if the soil was warm enough. He worked closely with our city arborist to ensure that he was able to the job done in time and by city standards. Great job, great price, excellent service. I would highly recommend.

They come three times a year. I get a spring and fall evaluation, and then throughout the year they come out and take care of the pests on the bushes and things like that. I have used them for a couple of years. I would definitely use them again.

Ryan responded quickly to my call for an estimate. In view of the unsafe situation, he arranged for a crew that had been doing routine clearing on a highway contract to switch to my job. The crew was courteous and efficient and completed the work more quickly than Ryan had estimated, which resulted in a discount on my bill. However, they left two stumps higher than I thought reasonable. Ryan arranged for another crew working on my neighbor's property to take care of the stumps, cutting them flush with the ground. No large job ever goes perfectly, but Ryan's readiness to fix any problems impressed me. It gives me confidence that Bartlett stands behind their work.
Description of Work: Two large trees fell into my yard from my neighbors' yards. In the process, they knocked down three medium sized trees in my yard, crushed a tool shed and a section of fence. It was a complicated job, not only because of the size, but because large trunks were propped up on the shed and on other trees and had to be brought down carefully to prevent further damage.

Fantastic job by Bartlett's. Crew took down two 50 foot trees in 2 hours. Cut up the wood (and even stacked it along my fence!) so I have something to burn this winter. Removed the branches/crowns and were out before I knew it. Crew were fast, nice and very professional. Would definitely use them again.

I had some frost damage to trees at my home and wanted to have Bartlett inspect and suggest a plan of action for the damage. After arranging for Mike Burke to come to my home May 8th I was contacted a few days later to reshedule for the following Friday May 15th. I was going to be out of town, but I was reassured that I didn't need to be home for Mike to inspect the trees. I waited for a report or estimate to arrive, but after almost two weeks I called their office to inquire regarding status of the inspection. I left Mike a message and followed up with another a few days later. Now an additional two weeks have passed and I still have yet to receive a condition report , estimate or return phone call. Today, June 8th, I emailed my original contact, Kim Actis, to inform her that I would no longer need their services and described my lack of service.

A large branch from one of our trees fell during a snow storm. I called around to several tree companies, but none was willing to take on our job unless we were an "existing customer." Bartlett was willing to take on the job, and I give them credit for being willing to do it. I told Bartlett on the phone that the job was relatively small, and could be accomplished by one person in a couple hours. They said they would send someone. Instead, they sent two people. The work they performed was fine. They cut up and removed the branch and debris within 75 minutes. (I was taking some pictures of the work for insurance purposes, so I know exactly when they arrived and left.) They had taken my credit card when I booked the job, so a few days later I received an invoice and a note saying my credit card would be charged. I was surprised to see that the bill was $945 and detailed that they had supposedly spent NINE manhours on the job. I complained, and they called back to explain the hours included prep and travel time. I said, even with that, NINE hours was a gross exaggeration. (I don't know it for a fact, but I would guess that they thought anything over my $500 deductible would be covered by my insurance, so I wouldn't argue about it..) They eventually said they'd cut me a deal and charge only $600. I accepted the reduction, but hardly considered it a gracious move on their part. They were caught cheating. Their approach was not only unprofessional, but they lost the opportunity for the much bigger job of taking down the large tree the branch had fallen from. I used someone another company.

[member name removed] contacted our office regarding removal of a storm damaged leader from a hickory that came down across his driveway. He required immediate assistance to remove the leader and disposal of all associated debris. Our administrative staff provided him with our policy regarding storm damage, ie rates, travel expense, and debris expenses. Due to the unpredictable nature of storm damage response scenarios, our policy is to always send a crew of at least 2 arborists to all jobs, no matter how small. A crew of 2 arborists was called into the office and dispatched to the job site. Due to the size of the debris, we were unable to remove all wood from the site on our initial visit and had to return the following day to remove the remaining debris. The discount from $945 to $600 was given after a discussion with [member name removed] regarding our inability to process all of the debris on the first visit. All travel time and labor from the second day was removed from the invoice. Please note that in [member name removed]’s review, Bartlett Tree Experts was willing to take on his small project and completed the project as per our verbal agreement. Additionally, the clearance of his driveway was completed within several hours of his initial phone call. While [member name removed] is unhappy with the price charged, Bartlett Tree Experts responded to his emergency situation in safe and responsive nature.

We highly recommend them. We used them for a long time for a variety of things and we find them to be extremely reliable and have had excellent experience. They are not just tree trimmers they are arborist so there is someone knowledgeable leading the staff. I have been using them for probably 20 years. I think the skill level of the arborist, the work ethics of the crew who come to do the work, the involvement that they have with the home owners, they listen to what the home owner has observed what they are asking them to be done, they give a contract and they follow through what they said they were going to do. We have a number of trees that we have had fertilized by them every year because we are in an older neighborhood with the trees older itself and we try to work hard to maintain that house. Price wise they are a little higher than an ordinary tree company because they have the knowledge ability. We have a sick fig tree; he came back like every month to check on it.
Description of Work: We used Bartlett Tree Experts – 31311. We used them 3 times last year. They fed and fertilized shrubs; they treated rhododendron trees for diseases, trimmed trees and took down a huge 55 year old tree out of a stone wall without damaging the wall.

I'm about to call them again. It was fantastic. They came in, did the job, cleaned up and it was awesome. What stood out about them is their professionalism, the way they cleaned up and didn't leave a mess in the yard. The River birch have lots of little branches. They could have left branches in the yard but they didn't. They had me waiting for someone else to get their thing done before they came and do mine.
Description of Work: I used the services of Bartlet Tree Service. They came in and assessed some trees. They removed a dead tree and trimmed up a river birch that was taken over.

The cost was just under $5,000. I used them again for pruning and rejuvenating azaleas around the house. The arborist representative, Scott Kaplan, is knowledgeable and responsive. He offers suggestions, and is comfortable and pleasant to work with. With the exception of the tree removal, where the Bartlett estimate was similar to another, I have not compared prices.

We had Josh Nadler come out. He was very professional and knowledgeable. All work was done as he described it would be. He also offered some other services (fertilizing) but there was absolutely no pressure to get those services. After the job was completed Josh continued to share his knowledge with us to help with a bug problem. We will use Bartlett Tree Service again and ask for Josh.

A tree service company suggested taking a large oak down because of root damage. I contacted Bartlett to get a second opinion. The fellow who came to assess the situation advised not removing the tree but suggested feeding all trees on the property and treating the tree with root damange. I signed a contract and the treatment began. The tree with root damage responded well and the others have been fed. Bartlett performed the work on time and in a very professional manner. I am completely satisfied with their service.
Description of Work: The company analyzed the soil, fed all the trees and used a pesticide to kill the pests causing root damage. Bartlett recommended not removing the oak but feeding the trees on the the property. Bartlett treated the oak for root damage caused by pests (ants and a wood p*****). However, before the treatment the company analyzed the soil to ensure the correct treatment.
