They did an outstanding job. They showed up when they were supposed to. Their estimate ended up right on. I would probably call them if I need to get my trees nourished. Their price was reasonable I think. The quality of work was good. They cleaned up to a considerable amount. They didn’t make me stay around the house forever. They were very responsive. In case of any concern, I mailed them and got the answer by afternoon. If they said that they would be there in the morning, they were there five minutes late. I can’t complain about that. They finished the work on time. The people I worked with were very professional. The people who came to trim the tree were one group and the people who came to spray the tree were another group. Both answered my questions reasonable and I could understand that. I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Bartlett Tree Experts – 81111 for tree service about two months ago. They did really large tree trimming, sprayed, and did some feeding job.

Their representative provided a detailed estimate before I hired them, so I understood the services available and exactly what the costs would be. The work team arrived promptly on the scheduled day and finished their work in a timely manner. The trees looked terrific after their trim, as they were selective about which branches they cut and kept the overall shape of the trees. They are careful to seal all cuts and sterilize their equipment to prevent transmission of oak wilt. They checked to make sure I was happy with their work before they left, and my property was neat and clean when they were done. Communication before, during, and after the work was completed was excellent.
Description of Work: I hired Bartlett Tree Services to trim a heritage live oak tree and another tree with branches close to the house. They also fertilized my trees.

I scheduled an appointment for an estimate to trim trees back from the house and assess any additional attention the trees required. There was a 3-4 weeks of lead time due to their workload. Jacob arrived early on the appointed day, and we walked the yard while he assessed the situation and explained the planned work. The formal written estimate arrived a couple of days later (roughly as promised), and the work was completed in 4 stages over the next 2-3 weeks. Overall, we were happy. The price made my eyes water, which I had expected from my research, and that is why they were our second choice. The pruning portion of the estimate was about double what "Company A" had quoted. However, Bartlett did not require a deposit, which was reassuring, since we had to ask for a refund of our deposit from Company A, who failed to to contact us both before and after failing to show up on the appointed day. Jacob's responsiveness to questions and concerns exceeded my expectations. I'd say their main opportunity for improvement is communication about scheduling the work. After we accepted the bid, Jacob let me know that the work would be scheduled and I would receive a call from someone at the office. When the call came, the caller said that they would be coming to "do that tree work" on a particular day. When we arrived that evening, we found that only the excavation portion of the work had been done. Only after leaving messages for Jacob did we find out that the work was going to be performed incrementally by several different crews.
Description of Work: Pruned 9 trees, performed 8 root collar excavations, mulched 6 trees, applied fertilizer based on soil analysis.

Overall, very well. I contacted office; they relayed message. Mr. Worrell came to inspect and provide estimate. He called later to inform about dates of service (fertilizing was done on one date; trimming on another). Workers showed up as expected; were polite. They did excellent job, and they cleaned up thoroughly.
Description of Work: Fertilized trees & shrubs. Removed a dying tree and a limb that was leaning on garage roof. Raised canopy on trees in front and side yards; trimmed trees. Removed all debris.

They came promptly and removed the tree neatly in a day.
Description of Work: Other tree services were cheaper, but they weakened my trees by unwise pruning. Bartlett uses certified arborists. They inspect, feed and do pest control several times a year for a few hundred dollars. This inspection, they found a terminally ill tree. I initially balked at the price for cutting it down and hauling it away (others would have charged less than half as much!). But Bartlett uses all certified arborists and certified tree workers; crewmembers have extensive training in removal techniques and safety; they are covered by workers' comp and liability insurance, and are subject to drug testing. Considering that this big tree was right next to my house, and the hazards if something went awry--I went with Bartlett. But gosh, that's expensive.

One of the oak trees in our back yard is estimated to be 150-200 years old. It shades our yard and house beautifully, so we take good care of the "old guy". Several years ago, a runaway "vine" on our fence started climbing into the tree. We knew we had a problem when we saw flowers on the top of the "old guy". We cut the part of the vine we could reach. The Bartlett arborist recommended removing the vine that was growing in the tree. I can't remember what we paid, but they did a good job - removed the vine from the tree, cleaned up after themselves. The price quoted is for fertilizing the trees and trimming/cabling branches away from the roof earlier this year.
Description of Work: Trimmed and fertilized trees. Bartlett has a certified arborist who knows trees and gives great advice. Bartlett has taken care of our trees for 9+ years.

It was a positive experience. They were very honest and upfront. They provided me some advice. They were very honest and they didn't think it was worth it to trim it for what their minimum price was.

After the storm, this large toppled tree came to rest across the top of our roof, and there were plate glass windows beneath it. They did a heroic job of removing the tree safely, with minimal damage to our property and no damage to the windows. This company charges more than some other local ones, but they are clearly professionals, and their crew is both skilled and well trained in the use of protective safety equipment. They were prompt and cleaned up afterwards.
Description of Work: A large (16" diameter) live oak tree split and fell in our back yard after a big windstorm. We had used this company before for pruning work, and to rescue a stray cat from one of the biggest trees, so we called them again to help here.

There was another company that I called but they never responded. Bartlett did a good job and I don't really have any complaints about them. They dropped a couple of chunks on the roof but they are taking care of that. I had them leave the stump because it was an extra $460 so I'll do that myself.

This company did some tree trimming for me last year, at which time the arborist pointed out that the large live oak tree in our front yard looked stressed. He showed me some before and after photos of treatments they have administered for similar trees, and I called this year (after saving up) to have the work done. A different arborist came this time to do the estimate, and in addition to looking at the tree, he spent at least 30 minutes walking through the rest of the yard with me and examining the other trees and shrubs. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, answering my questions and giving me lots of advice about what I could do on my own to improve the condition of many of the other plants. He worked with me to plan how they would carry out the tree treatment, so that the work could be done efficiently while still saving some nearby shrubs that otherwise they would have removed. The estimate for the work compared closely to the estimate I had received the year before. I wasn't home when the work was done, but I could see afterwards that the workers had followed the instructions we had agreed on. They also took the time to leave me a hand-written note with a few suggestions about how to water the treated area afterwards. I have used this company several times before, and although I can't afford to use their services on a regular basis, for the occasional special task (including rescuing a stray cat from the very top of a 40-foot tree!), they are superb professionals. And unlike many tree services in our city, their workers use a complete set of safety equipment and take care to seal the cuts of trimmed branches.

Very friendly representative - John Worrell, came to do estimate. Work was completed in a timely manner. Everything seemed expensive, but since this is a new home on a recently cleared lot, I wanted to give the trees the best possible start. Did not get other estimates. Would not use company again, only because of cost involved.
Description of Work: Estimate for soil sample ($65), soil treatment around trees on one acre lot ($340) , pest management of live oak trees ($540 for 2 treatments) and prune 5 oak trees mulching cuttings ($1800). Only had soil analysis and soil treatment done.

They were punctual, professional, and efficient, didn't leave a bit of debris behind, and trimmed exactly the amount I had requested and no more. I am more likely to call them again for some major problem, like treating or removing a failing tree, than for routine trimming, because their service and their skills are more suited to the larger, more demanding jobs.
Description of Work: This was a relatively small job; Trimming six or seven trees away from the roof of our house, but I needed the work done quickly. I've used this tree service before--the last time, to rescue a stray cat, on 2 hours notice, from 30 feet up in a tree, where it had been stuck for nearly a week, when other tree services wouldn't even consider coming to help. The manager, Gene, always does an estimate first and is very good to answer questions about our trees and provide advice. I used Angie's List this time before I called them, just to see what other customers had written about them and to see how they compared in terms of service and price to other large tree service companies in the city. The reports agreed with my previous experiences with their services compared to others, so I called them again.

Theirs was the lowest bid out of 6 estimates, and they were able to perform the job 3 days after I accepted their bid. They were knowledgeable and professional, and clean-up was perfect. They arrived at the time they said they would, and the job took approximately the amount of time that they estimated. They were careful about their surroundings like the deck, flower beds, planters, etc. To present the lowest bid and provide such high quality work is pretty amazing!

Bartlett Tree Experts did a good job on our trees. I liked that they brought a chipper/shredder with them to dispose of all the branches. They got the trees done quickly and didn't tear up my yard at all. The guys that came out knew what they were doing and did an overall great job.
