They came when expected, and finished within one day. All branches and debris were removed, and area thoroughly cleaned. They are a very professional, efficient company. This was the second time we had used them.
Description of Work: Pruned willow oak. Removed tree branches to a height of about 8-10 feet off ground. Removed approximately 15% of branches. Cut branches back from roof.

We were happy with the quote. They have come out previously and gave ideas and advice. They were reasonable and thorough in their explanations. They communicated very well and broke down the pricing for us so we knew exactly what we were paying for. But once you received the actual contract, we were not sure who is responsible to contact the utility companies and for damage, so we are still clarifying that. We have not hired anyone yet. UPDATE: They brought out Johnson Crane Service. The impact to our yard was unnoticeable. The clean up and everything went great. We were very happy with it. Their confidence was great. We are convinced that if we ever need that type of work again we will hire them.
Description of Work: We called them to get quote for tree service., very big trees. UPDATE: They came out, we discussed everything. It wasn't as cheap as many but it was clear that they had the capability and professionalism that many of the others didn't have. One of the trees they took down was 110 ft tall and the other was 80 ft tall. We didn't think that many of the other companies could handle trees that size. One of the trees was very close to an electrical box and they dealt with it without any kind of threat to the utilities.

All has gone well, very smoothly, they were there working when they said they would be and finished promptly. Job site was clean and organized, and they cleaned up the property as promised. Bartlett is not the least expensive service out there, however they consistently do a quality job, and I completely trust that they are insured.

I went with Bartlett because I wanted to do some major trimming on some very old trees. I did not want a tree butcher, I needed an arborist. The initial phone call went well and was passed to the area arborist. He came out within a few days to check the job and offer suggestions. The price quote was sent by mail within two days. I called and a date for removal was agreed to. The crew arrived on time, did the job neatly and completely. A small tree was found after the initial consultation and was removed at no extra charge. Thanks Bartlett, you are now my new tree service company.

My call for an estimate was not returned at first. Someone eventually called and scheduled an estimate. The estimate was very high, so I went with another company.
Description of Work: Left a message in mid-March to have someone come out and give me a quote. I did not receive a response. A few weeks later, I received a call from someone apologizing for the mix-up. They came out and gave me a quote (very high - over $1000 more than anyone else) - so I chose to go with another company.

The Bartlett Tree Experts' Annapolis, MD office made contact with the member and then, Paul Foster, Arborist/Representative, met with the member. After a very pleasant meeting, the member agreed to remove the "F" rating he posted on Angie's List ... and stated he'd do so when the work was completed. However, in the meantime, the member hired another company other than Bartlett to do the work. Once this was confirmed, Paul Foster inquired again to ask that the member please remove the rating. Again, the member agreed that he would do so. We appreciate the member contacting Bartlett Tree Experts and we hope that we will be able to provide him with a consultation and service in the future.

It went exactly as you hope these things should go. Ernie was professional, offered a reasonable price, the crew was efficient and courteous and everyone showed up on time and completed the work on time. The work was made worse but lots of hidden large tree roots which were all removed ( no extra charge was added but I added some myself). I highly recommend this company.

Hello - your entry was posted to Bartlett TREE Experts site - we have no one named Ernie on our staff in this area and we do not do concrete work. We thought we would let you know this, so you can redirect your comments to the company you dealt with, as they would most likely enjoy reading this positive feedback. Thank you.

They are always very professional and not pushy at all. They are a little pricier than other tree companies but they are heads above; they are much more professional and they seem to know more about what they are doing. We?ve been using this company for three or four years now and they are always there to do what we need done. They give us quotes on stuff and we just pick what parts we really need done. I have recommended them.

The crew was prompt and although there was some confusion at the beginning of the job about what exactly was needed, they called their supervisor and figured it out. I left before they were finished, and afterwards I thought they hadn't cut back enough, but in the end it was just fine. They did what I wanted, didn't break anything. The price was a little steep. I would use them again for well defined, focused jobs.
Description of Work: I live on a very narrow lot and I asked them to trim and prune tree limbs around my house in anticipation of some renovation work, and also to cut some invasive vines down from trees in the back yard.

They were very good, but very expensive. They have arborists, and are really well insured. They are a nationwide chain. If you needed small work done, you could probably find someone cheaper. If you need bigger work done, than they are very safe to go with. I had too big of a job to go cheap.

Overall it went well ... everything was done professionally and there were no problems. The only caveat we have is you have to be flexible on appointment times as it appeared that much depended on the availability of certain equipment and staff. Once equipment or staff became available, Kuhn's would want to start the next day. We asked for a 48 hr notice so we could arrange for time off and coordinate with neighbors but usually received calls the night before. If we could not accommodate the next day, there would be delays until the next time the equipment (stump grinder) was available. The entire service took about 3 weeks from the time we submitted an agreement to the time the final job was completed. We were not in any hurry so this was not a problem for us. The price was much lower than the competitor.

Had a dead/dying tree in our wooded lot that needed to be taken down. We had just moved into our newly built house, and knew there are going to be several trees that may die as a result of the construction. In addition to the quote, Bartlett added about $4000 of additional work that needed to be done on the trees in our yard, one of which includes anchoring a splitting tree to a live tree for support, which doesn't make much sense to me since if that tree falls while anchored to the live tree, it's going to take that tree down with it. But since I'm not a tree expert, I got a second opinion (Adirondacks tree service - ultimately used them), who were professional, responded in a timely manner, gave a reasonable quote for taking down the dead tree, and provided a reasonable management plan for my trees (i.e. leave them alone and let them heal from the construction). So far, my trees are doing fine.

Both times Bartlett was very professional and did a very good job, cleaning up completely afterwards. The first time, they removed the fallen pine tree for no additional charge.
Description of Work: August 2009 had them trim branches overhanging my roof, remove a fallen pine tree and remove several small wild cherry trees. In Feb. or Mar. 2010 I had them remove the top third of a pine tree that was broken and hanging from the snow storms. They also removed a tall pine tree that was leaning toward my roof and close to the house.

After reading favorable comments on Bartlett's on AngiesList, I called this company on 24 June 2010, as it was the closest to my house. The company representative was supposed to arrive at 9:00am today, 29 June 2010. At 9:08, I called his office which had a recording that the office was open 8 - 4 and if no one answered I was to leave a message, which I did - that the rep did not show at the appointed time and I was going in to work. As I was driving out of the neighborhood, I saw a car with the Bartlett Tree service sign on it. So I turned around and followed the car to my house. The rep was very polite and apologized for being late. Poor professionalism in my opinion, but I said nothing. I showed him the dead tree I needed removed. He asked if I wanted the tree parts removed, cut up, or just left where they lay. He confirmed that any services beyond simple cutting down of the tree would be extra, so I told him I would cut the limbs and trunk up and remove it myself. I only asked that they lower the tree parts to the ground instead of just dropping them onto the ground as I have an underground dog "fence" close to the tree. The rep said he would calculate a price quote and went into his car. In a few minutes he emerged with a price quote of $1950. I said I would "consider it", but I already had a quote from another reputable firm for $1100, which I considered to be at least $300 too high. Company sounded reputable, but almost $2000 for a few hours work?

We regret and apologize for being 10 minutes late for the scheduled appointment. Punctuality is important to Bartlett and to you. This feedback reinforces our need to call to communicate if we've been delayed for an appt., which is normally standard practice. We will do better in the future. We pride ourselves in our exceptional safety record. Often someone offers to remove a tree for a price that is lower than ours. Shortcuts can lower the cost on a project, but we don't like to gamble with our clients' properties. Employee recruiting and training, daily safety meetings, commitment to safe work practices, and a culture of safety help set Bartlett apart frm the other tree companies. A large dead tree being taken down safely while protecting the dog fence and surrounding trees takes experience, skill and time.

The day after my call Brad Seay came over and gave an estimate to cut down a dead poplar. He was punctual, professional, and a font of information on trees. I was especially impressed to learn that his company sets the standards for safety for the business. Since the tree in question was very large and very, very rotted i.e. crumbly and fragile, I certainly wanted it down without damage to persons or property. The work was scheduled and the workers were prompt, efficient and respectful of our property and our neighbor's. My husband decided the day of the tree cutting that he wanted a large limb over the deck pruned. Mr. Seay quickly added it to the proposal and the work was done immediately. Incredibly, the work area seemed neater after the crew left than it was before they came!

He booked us in quickly and the work was done very expediently. He was prompt and efficient and NEAT. He cleaned up all of the mess-I would have never known he had been there. We have plans for him to come out in the Spring to treat the insect issue.
Description of Work: We had a large cherry tree in the front yard with a dead spot in the center that needed pruning. Brad came by in person to give us the estimate on cutting out the dead stuff and pruning the general shape of the tree. He also noticed that we had a boring insect problem and offered to treat that, too. As we looked into other quotes, he stayed in touch with me via e-mail and answered many questions.
