Been a customer with Bartlett for many years. Seems as if the management & team has changed post-CO19 . Received a quote for tree maintenance for $1.7k and was asked to pay the ENTIRE invoice up-front without receiving a date for service therefore, no guarantee that the work would be completed. Asking for 100% payment upfront is not only un-ethical, its not something I've ever been asked to do in the past with Bartlett. 50% deposit then balance once the work was completed. Bartlett has lost a customer! I don't recommend.

Ryan came for the initial review on time. The work was done after the insurance payment. His team was very professional and had the job completed in a few hours on a very hot day. They cleaned the small branches and wood chips in my driveway. I would highly recommend them for any tree services. This was the second time I used them. Very satisfied.

Four days after I told Bartlett I wanted the tree removed, they were at my house. They arrived at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, November 4th. Their expert tree climber knew exactly what he was doing. He was up in that tree for hours. By 2:00 that afternoon, the most dangerous branches had been removed. They came back the following Monday and continued to work all day, taking down the rest of the branches and leaving just the trunk up to about 20 feet. The following day they called to tell me that they had squeezed me in because they knew how anxious I was to have the branches down and that they would be back the following Friday or Saturday to finish the work. Sure enough, they arrived at 8:00 a.m. Friday morning, and they are working on the tree as I write this review at 1:00 in the afternoon. The trunk of the tree, which is probably close to 60 inches around, is now down to a couple of feet high, and the pieces are being disposed of. I cannot speak highly enough of this company's knowledge of trees and their expertise about every phase of tree care, maintenance, and removal. What that other company was not able to accomplish in three months, they did in three days. They are the best of the best. Are they inexpensive? No, definitely not. But the difference in price between Bartlett and that other company, who were totally unable to deliver the goods and has caused me so much grief and still refuses to return my deposit, was $1,700. To me, the difference is well worth it. Bartlett also knows how to communicate with their customers. The other company rarely returned my calls. Bartlett has a professional staff that is helpful, courteous, and always available to talk to and to get messages to or from the people who are out working.
Description of Work: Removal of an old, large tree with limbs that extended over my house and my neighbor's house. The tree was in decline and I was anxious to have it taken down before the cold and winter winds set in. I had actually engaged another tree company in August and had given them a deposit. They were going to take down my tree for $6,000, but in September, they told me they couldn't do it for price because it would take a larger crane. I asked them if they could climb the tree and take it down limb by limb, but the owner said "Only an idiot would climb that tree. It could be hollow. The only safe way to take it down is with a large crane." They wrote up a new contract for $10,800; but they were unable to give me a definite date for the removal. When the contract completion date of October 26 passed and the tree was still not down and they still couldn't give me a date of when it would be removed, I called them and asked them to return my deposit. Then I called Bartlett and asked them to remove the tree. Bartlett told me the safest way to remove the tree would be climbing it and taking it down limb by limb.

They do a great job. I have referred them to other people and businesses and everyone who has used them has been very pleased. They also have the contract for our subdivision. They charge each time and they charge by the tree. They do a great job of cleaning up afterwards, you can’t even tell they’ve been here except the dead ones are gone. It takes them a couple of hours to complete the work. There are about four people on their crew when they come out.

We have been using Bartlett Tree Service for over 10 years to care for our pin oak tree and shrubs. Their tree pruning is excellent, and their pest control and fertilizer has done the job. I recommended them to my neighbor and she has commented over and over that her trees and shrubs have never looked better.

Matt was professional when coming to my house and giving a quote. He also suggested additional services then what I wanted but we only with pruning and treatment. When the guys came to my house to prune the trees one guy actually climbed the tree while another stayed on the ground to guide the very large limbs that were coming down and when they were done they cleaned up and left no debris. I would hire them again for additional services.

Description of Work: Received estimate. Very nice people. Showed up promptly. Very professional. Price for removal out of my league.Estimate for tree removal way, way out of line with what I ultimately paid to have tree removed. I ended up paying 1900.00 with Biernacke Tree Service.

The Bartlett team did a great job. We were particularly concerned with how the flowering pear tree would be pruned. We wanted it thinned out and brought down in height (flowering pears shouldn't be allowed to grow too tall since they're not that strong), but we didn't want them to just lop off the top. We've seen this done by others -- it looks awful and takes years for the tree to grow back. Instead of that "quick and dirty" approach, the Bartlett team trimmed branch by branch, carefully selecting which branches to cut to retain some fullness and a beautiful shape, while improving the strength and health of the tree. We even received unsolicited positive comments from our neighbors. They also did a nice job pruning the large maple tree and cleaning up all the debris. The arborist Keith was happy to answer all of our questions and gave us good advice. We were also happy to see that throughout the pruning effort, the team used protective gear (goggles, helmets, ear covers). They were professional, punctual, and considerate. This doesn't come cheap but it is definitely worth the expense. We'll definitely use them again in future.
Description of Work: Pruned a flowering pear tree (in front of house) and a Japanese maple (in rear); removed resulting debris; installed support cable in maple; supplied and installed hardwood mulch in rear yard.

We use Bartlett on a regular basis for our tree maintenance. They sent us an email before Hurricane Sandy hit that if we had trees fall down, they'd provide us priority service. Sure enough, we had some serious tree damage with trees on the house and blocking our driveway> We left them a message and they arrived within 2 days to cut the trees up. No appointment needed, no fuss, fair prices. Fantastic service! We will use them for as long as we live in this house.

It was one of the most seamless transactions we've had. I know the price may have seem a little high in comparison, but in retrospect, you cannot put a price on professionalism and sensitivity. There are other reviews listed here that will comment on the high price, but when you need a service to discretely enter a neighbor's yard and to enter a difficult part of my backyard (the Maple was in danger of falling/destroying my kid's playset), you want someone with the experience and reputation that follows. Any regular guy with a chainsaw and a woodchipper wasn't going to cut it in this situation. They were quick to fix, and even quicker to cleanup. Keith even returned the same day after service to make sure we were satified with the job performed. We were most definitely satisfied, and would have no problem reaching out to Bartlett again.
Description of Work: Hurricane Sandy broke a few trees in my yard, and one was in danger of falling. We were looking for a very professional Tree Service since one of the trees had fallen into one of my neighbor's yard. We needed removal ASAP, and since the storm affected so many, getting a service to respond timely proved challenging. Bartlett was one of the very few that immediately responded to our concerns, and had Keith Bimbi come to our home, who immediately provided an estimate for service, made additional recommendations, and provided a time-line when service could be completed. We agreed, and they arrived promptly....completing work which included the removal of an entire medium Maple tree (part of which was in my neighbor's yard, and the grinding of stump), and the trimming of a large Oak.

Hurricane Sandy brought down several trees on our property and two of them fell across our driveway. As a result, no vehicles or pedestrians could access or leave the property. We called Bartlett and the Tree Arborist, Keith Bimbi, assured us he would be there that day to assess the situation. He came as promised and scheduled the removal of these trees for two days later. The tree cutters arrived on time and cut and removed the trees in a very clean and professional manner. The trees which were not blocking the access to the property were not considered a priority and are to be removed at a later date. We are grateful that Bartlett recognized that we had an emergency situation and prioritized it appropriately and we are happy to wait our turn for the removal of the other trees. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bartlett Tree Experts.
