Sprayed insectiside and anti-mold on crab and red twig dogwoods.
Description of Work: Have used this company many times in the last 10 years. Since we spent so much $$ in our landscaping, I wanted to be sure that our major trees were coming along like they should be. They do a yearly assessment of my shrubs and trees and offer suggestions to the care of them on a as needed basis. They have also fielded my many questions over the years.....have taught me when to worry or not. Have a nice email newsletter(? quarterly?) Are easy to reach and respond quickly. Quotes are "high" per the average household,but the quality is worth it. They are local, but part of the national Bartlett "corporation." Have never had a problem with them at all. Feel comfortable with them.

I called them on a Thursday for an estimate, and they responded the next day with a quote. The job was performed the following week. I think the price of $321 was reasonable in comparison to the task.
Description of Work: The large honey locust tree in my backyard had a number of dead and broken limbs. They removed those and trimmed the branches that were hanging too close to the ground.

Arrived on-time, checked in with us and reviewed the work order. Very professional!
Description of Work: Pruned several trees, assessed health of trees and removed two dying trees. Constantly checked with us regarding what they were doing with each tree. Prior to starting work, they relocated plants and flowers which might be damaged as a result of falling limbs. Cleaned up after the services were performed.

They came out promptly and provided a written estimate on the spot. We were told it would be 3 or 4 weeks before they could do the work and it turned out to be just over 4 weeks. The workers arrived and introduced themselves to my wife. She indicated they were very polite and courteous throughout the time they were at the house. They took care to inform her of what they were doing as they went along. The tree came down in multiple pieces, but never was allowed to just drop to the ground. After the job was done, you could hardly tell they had been to the site even though a large crane was parked in the middle of the front lawn for several hours. They had laid out protective plywood for the crane. The entire site was cleaned up before they left. Overall we were very pleased with the job and would hire them again without question.
Description of Work: They took down a very large tree that was hanging over the house. The stump was more than 3 feet across

I called them, can't remember if they came from Angie's List or a neighbor, had worried that a limb from our 5 huge silver maple trees would fall on the neighbors house, swimming pool, or house, asked them to come out. I was afraid we may have a heavy windstorm. They came, looked at the trees, determined if it was rotten, looked to see if a major limb or branch was weak, if it was, they put a cable on it, and secured it to a much more stable limb. Since then, we have had no problems. The trees are 35-40 years old and they assured us they are alive, and they put pellets with liquid up under them to assure the tree gets water. We can count on them. We do not have a contract with them, only called them on a "service as needed" basis. Leaves pile at the bottom, causes the tree not to get water, but the pellets allow them to get the water. I didn't comparison shop. I give them high ratings and will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: They came out last summer.

Working with Bartlette's was a very interesting experience and totally satisfying. Everyone I spoke with during the process was extremely professional and courteous and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: I moved into an old house with ancient trees. I have a deep and abiding respect for nature. When I saw all the dead branches on these old trees I decided to go to Angie's list and look for a tree service or an arborist. Bartlett's had wonderful reviews so I called them. Three men came out to do the work after the initial consultation and estimate. They trimmed and cabled my huge Catalpa tree. They cut the dead wood out of the Walnut, the Locust and the Norway maple. They cut the hanging branches on a younger tree that was hanging over my garage. In the Fall they will be back to freshen up a massive oak tree in the front of the house. The consultant told me Oak trees can't be trimmed in the Spring. I look forward to Bartlette's return!

Bartlett Tree Experts did nice work. They did what they had to do. They cleaned up after themselves and were very professional. The yard looks better with the work they did on the trees. They are educated with arbor work.

The person who came out to look at our trees was very knowledgeable and knew immediately what the problem was. They gave us a very reasonable quote for the amount of work to be performed and arrived exactly when they said they would be there to apply the treatment. The person who did the work had the right equipment and performed the work quickly. Excellent all the way around. We have hired them to do some more work as a result of our first experience.

See above -- this was a high quality interaction, even -- or maybe especially -- because no service was provided.
Description of Work: We called Bartlett to see if we should be treating ash trees on our property against emerald ash borer. Although they could have sold us an expensive treatment, they instead properly identified our trees as hickories instead of ashes and told us we needed no treatement.

They had put some wires in the trees a year ago so that the trees would be more stable. They came over as soon as I called them. I particularly liked them because they just don't come over, look at the trees and say that the trees needed to come down. They would work very hard to save the tree. I liked that about them as I hated to see the trees come down and they did too. There was a tree which was looking a bit needy and so they did a lot of trimming. They also cut off some of the bushes around it that ended up looking like trees, from the back of the wire to over the roof. They generally made sure that the trees would look good for the winter. The trees are in fact looking good as we had few winds and storms since then but none of them came down. They were very good about cleaning up after themselves. They did not leave things in a mess at all. I had scheduled them twice before during the summer and both the times there were storms before they could come out. So, they diverted to other customers who had trees on their houses. I cannot say that they were not responsive because if I had trees on my house, they would be here too.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Bartlett Tree Experts – 91311 in October 2010. They trimmed the trees and cut off some dead wood.

Team was very professional. Never drove equipment on lawn. Dragged limbs to chipper that was parked in driveway. Ground was pristine when they left. Before they left, they came to door & had me look over their work and asked if everything looked to my liking before they left. Tree looks healthy and more sunlight reaches to inner branches.

They came to give me an estimate and they gave me reasons for what they were going to do and why. It took me along time to set up an appointment with them. They arrived on time to do the work. They got the work done when they said that they would. They cleaned up after themselves. They were not the best at responding to my phone calls or following the directions in the messages that I left them.
