Setting up the appointment was easy. We set the appt. for 11am and Steve arrived about 11:15 (he would have arrived right on time, but they had given him a bad house number). Unless he had gone to look at the tree in the front yard before coming to the door and didn't tell me this (which I doubt. and based on when he called to get the correct address he didn't have time to look at it very thoroughly), he just looked at it from a distance and said that it needed soil treatment. Then I showed him a tree in the back that has some black growth on it I've been worried about. He went up to it, briefly looked at it and said it just had water gathered in the branches and could use the soil treatment also. The soil treatment is to "improve plant health and capture benefits of recent rainfalls" (from proposal). Then he wrote up the estimate. $530 for the soil treatment for 4 trees. $2,295 to cut down and remove the 2 dead trees (one of which has already lost +1/2 its branches)!!! He asked what I thought about the price. I said it seemed pricey, but he didn't offer any discount or other offers or plans. He appeared disinterested, unprofessional, and as if he didn't care about getting our business. He didn't take the time to fully address my concerns. I expected someone who would take a careful inspection of the trees, tell me what the spots/black growth is and take a look at the bugs that are on them (because there are a lot of bugs on them too). He did none of this. And where the $2,295 figure came from (for cutting down the two trees) is anyone's guess and seems way overpriced.
Description of Work: Steve came out to give an estimate on treatment for a few trees I've been concerned may have disease or bugs, and a couple dead trees that need to be cut down.

Everyone was punctual , friendly, and professional from Mr. Austin who gave us the estimate for the work, through all who did the work.The bill was for exactly the amount they had estimated.

Description of Work: I have a large pecan tree in my back yard that was toppling over. I contacted Bartlett to put a brace in to support the large overweight branch that was pulling the tree over. I have to take part of the blame for my dissatisfaction - I didn't do my homework and ended up with a product that was less than what I was expecting. I basically paid $600 for two men to dig a large hole under the branch and put a very large (and I'm sure pressure treated) wooden pole under the branch - and fill it full of cement. Not what I was expecting for $600.

Ms. [member name removed], we understand that you feel that you were overcharged for our services. Steve Austin, the arborist who met with you, thought that he had explained the process to you prior to completion of the work. Steve spoke with you again after the job was completed on January 23rd of this year and thought that he had adequately explained why we did what we did. He will be in Lockhart next Monday, July 7th, and could stop by between 1:30-2:00 to inspect the prop that was installed and discuss this with you. Please let us know if you are interested in the appointment. Thank you.

It has always gone well! I like the fact that they clean up very well. I have been using them for about two years. They last worked for me two months ago. It cost about sixteen hundred dollars. I would give them an 'A' overall. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Bartlett Tree Experts came out and did some landscaping work on my property.

Ended up selecting another provider for the pruning, but still considering Bartlett for other services.
Description of Work: Steve arrived punctually at our appointment to provide free consultation and a bid for tree pruning and for other services related to the trees on my lot. He was very professional and provided a detailed written bid proposal.

It was a very large tree and they got it down. He had four trucks and five guys. They stayed with the job all day long until they got it done and everything was hauled off. Everything was cleaned up when they left. The job was more than it was estimated as, but he suck to his estimate. I am very happy with his services.
Description of Work: I hired him to take down a tree.

They're a great company. Would recommend them to anyone. You could not even tell that they were there. Spoke with a man named Robert Hagar and he was very professional. Met the company at a home show in Austin. Came and gave quote really qucik. They didn't care about the money upfront. They just wanted to find a way to do the job. It was a hard job the tree was on a cliff. They sealed the limbs, just did great work and would like to add them to the list if not already. They were very fair and actually using them on another property we own about 20 miles away. Very impressed with the whole company. Good work. Good Company.
Description of Work: They trimmed a big burrough tree and helped it survive and live longer. They did a great job. Good people
