Wonderful technicians, thoroughly professional, highly knowledgeable, but expensive. I am looking for alternatives on cost alone. All else about Bartlett Tree Service is excellent. If I do not find alternative service of the same quality and lower cost, I will use Bartlett Tree Service again.

Bartlett's was great! They came out to the house and gave me an estimate for tree removal. When the workmen came to remove the tree, they were prompt and friendly. They did a great job removing the tree quickly and carefully. They let me know what existing damage they noted on the roof. They encouraged me to call them in the spring if I noticed any lawn damage from the machinery required for the job--they would come back and fix the damage at that time.

Work was done well and the site was cleaned up after. Only delay came from our late decision to have stumps ground. They had to comtact "miss dig" to insure no underground ervices were present.
Description of Work: Removed three medium sized pine trees next to a driveway. Also ground stumps, in preparation for replanting bushes.

fertillized our trees per annual contract. No issues with Bartlett. Seem very busy as when we call for someone to come and look at a problem, it is up to 2 weeks before they come. However when they come, the rep seems very knowledgable and pleasant. I think they may need more seasonal personnel to accomodate high demand situations.

It always go very well. No concerns here.
Description of Work: We have used Bartlett for years. They do an excellent job. They inventory our property at least 2 times a year checking for the health of different trees and treating accordingly. They have saved 4 or 5 trees by catching diseases early so they could be treated instead of cutting down. They always clean up spotless when they have completed the work. They are top notch in every way! We have used them so long I have not compared prices. They may be a little higher than other tree businesses but they have always one an excellent job...no so with other places I used to use. I would not change. They are worth every penny!

It went very well. The reason I chose them was because they came out to the house to inspect the branch to see if it was in immediate danger of falling onto the house. They concluded (correctly) that it was not and scheduled the work within a week or so. The trimmers were pleasant, professional, did their work efficiently and cleaned up thoroughly. Their estimate was in line with another one that I got at the same time.
Description of Work: They cut and removed a very large branch that had snapped off inside our elm tree and was leaning towards our house. This branch was the size of a trunk of many other trees. It had to be winched out to the street for removal. They also inspected and trimmed the rest of the tree and cut up smaller branches for firewood for us. The rest went into the chipper.

In a word - Excellent. Tree was removed in a half of a day and within 48 hours of first contact. Care was taken to protect sprinkling system. Professionally handled from start to finish.
Description of Work: Removed a blue spruce that had been uprooted by a storm and leaning precariously (some branches actually brushing our neighbor's house). Tree was being supported by a shed and fence that looked like a collapse of either or both was imminent.

I talked with Brian Heimstra to secure a date when the tree would receive their service. As it was a very small and quick job I understood that it would be done later in the season. Surprise! The team was here within a week and did a superb job as usual. Consulted with my neighbor to gain access to the back yard using their drive way, cut all branches (especially those touching the two homes and their garage) and cleaned up all limbs and breakage. Will contnue to use Bartlette in the future!
Description of Work: Bartlett Trees has provided excellent service to the trees in my yard for many years. This fall the technicians up-limbed a maple in my back yard. The tree is about 25 years old and looks great and very healthy!

Overall, the company is very professional and efficient. They were a great help in a tough situation! I didn't know what to do, but they got the tree cleaned up, and helped me with what to send to my insurance company and made sure the job was completed. I'll be calling them again in the future!

Bartlett Tree Service were prompt with inspection and estimate. The estimate was competitive with other companies. They were able to schedule service within a 10 day time frame. The removal of the tree went smoothly and they went to great lengths to protect the other trees in the yard from being damage from falling limbs. The actual cost of the job was a few dollars under the estimated cost. Bartlett called for a follow up call several days following the completion of the job. Bartlett Tree Service is very professional and I would highly recommend this company!

They are always prompt, polite, and professional. Work was done well, but I had Scott come back because I had some concerns about the thinning. He patiently explained the anatomy of the tree and why it was thinned the way it was. So he not only got the job done right, he educated me on the correct way to care for my trees.

Thanks for your kind comments about our recent work at your house! We take a great deal of pleasure in learning that our work is appreciated, and your love for trees is quite apparent. Thank you for allowing me to explain our pruning goals, particularly as they relate to thin-barked species, such as the red maple.

Our ash trees were damaged by Emerald Ash Borers. He came out and evaluated them and made recommendations. He knew alot about all the trees in our lot and walked with us around our property and gave recommendations. Very knowledgeable and helpful. One of three trees had to come down. They applied treatment to the other two a few weeks later, and those ash trees are still hanging in there...

I was very pleased with the work of Bartlett Tree Experts. They were easy to work with. I called to make the appointment, and dealt with professional and competent office workers. Ryan came out soon after my first call, to look at the trees and make an estimate. He answered lots of questions and was very pleasant to deal with. He used a portable printer to give ma written estimate for the work (fertilization and pruning) the same day. It took me a long time (a few weeks) to make a decision about going ahead, because I was also deciding about having landscaping done by another contractor, and I wanted to know the full price for all services before I decided. Bartlett's called back to see if I needed any additional information, and they were very patient about waiting for me to make a decision. Once I decided to go ahead, the work was easily scheduled. The workers came on time, and did exactly what they said they would do for the price specified in the estimate. I was very happy with the work.

Thanks for the kind words about our service. I enjoyed having a role in transforming your garden area this past fall. Perhaps we could get together this spring when everything is in bloom and take a look at the finished product, now that the trees are trimmed and the landscaping complete. Best holiday wishes to you and yours.

Overall, it was less painful than I expected. The trees aren't hopeless, and the cost was reasonable.
Description of Work: The knowledgable arborist gave me a written report and plan, confirming my suspicions. Two mature trees in our yard are infected by the Emerald Ash Borer. He treated both trees chemically into their trunks. The arborist explained that the extremely dry weather coupled with the borer has really hit the larger tree. He explained it will take two years before we know if the larger tree will survive. I believe the cost of treatment was reasonable, and I would use this service again.

We needed a simple tall bush/tree cut away from our roof line. They had to send our two workers to do the job since there are cables that run through the bush. No problem. When I arrived home after the service had been done: 1) The top of the cut was just a few inches below the roof line and I had asked for it to be at least a foot below the roof line. (Why would I ask for the service if the bush would just grow back to the roof line in a few months?) 2) The bush simply had it's top cut off and looked ridiculous. No shaping, no trimming -- which we were not asked about. I only know about this option because of another tree service business that seems to operate much better than Barlett's. Fortunately, we called back and told them about the work that had been done and another crew was sent out a few days later. This is why I'm giving the company a 'B' for Professionalism and Responsiveness. They cut the bush to the appropriate size, but still no trimming/shaping. My bush still looks ridiculous. But I can't afford any more money towards this bush, especially since I was charged too much, compared to a co-worker who received similar work from another company.
