They did an excellent job, told me their recommendation and they did exactly what they said they would do to trim out the branches of the trees and they did an excellent work. They were very responsive at that time, and it was very good. I have used them twice already.

They are really good. I give them an A on everything. We have been using them for 22 years. They trim our trees automatically and are very kind to our trees. We had a sick tree and they nursed it back. It's on a schedule. They usually do it at the end of February, but we had such heave rain He kept postponing and postponing but we had a really unusually wet rainy season. I always use them.

hey pruned the trees in a safely and professionally.  They did major work on 4 of the trees (oak, olive, plum and persimmon).  And minor shaping and cutting of two additional trees (liquid amber & apricot).  They were very safety conscious and aware of the plants and structures around them, including a pool & electric wires.  They were very aware and respectful of the neighbors properties.  They cleaned up everything.  The trees look terrific.  There was a lot of interaction between myself and the crew so I was completely satisfied

They are excellent. They really have knowledge of trees and they can prolong the life of trees for a long time. They are a little pricey, but they're really good guys.

I'm not going anywhere else anymore. I used them years ago and was happy. Later years I tried to save a buck with less than satisfactory results. I believe and trust these guys.

As always,  Bartlett was timely, neat and everything was done to my satisfaction.  I should mention that a  Bartlett expert comes to my house every January too assess my trees and their maintenance.  I have had them for many years, and I would not give tree work to anyone other than Bartlett even though they are on the expensive side. Bartlett also cares for my roses with spraying during their dormant and blooming periods.

The crew is punctual, efficient & friendly. They cover my adjacent plantings from dropping branches. They clean up all debris
and haul it away. All in all I have been extremely pleased with their work. I am due to have them them back this fall.
.I would recommend their services to anyone who may have a tree problem, or need the services of a licensed arborist.

Pros:  very happy with the service.  Sean (the arborist) called back immediately, came out the next weekend and surveyed the work including diagnosis of a sick tree.  The team arrived on time, and trimmed exactly as I as I discussed with Sean.  After the work was complete, Sean called me back personally to ensure everything was done to my satisfaction.
 Cons:  They were very busy when I called, and were not able to scheduled my for 2 weeks.  The price was high, but not unreasonable.

They were great. They came out and gave me an estimate. We talked about the different trees and what they would do and what they would recommend. We agreed on a price and they came back when they said they would. They did exactly what they said at the exact price they said. They cleaned up everything. It was great. I had two people come out and they had the best price around. They told me the types of trees and that one of the fruits was edible which I was not aware of. They even ate one in front of me. They called me this year to see if I wanted them to come back out.

We have used Bartlett to do tree work on our heavily wooded property in Ross for over 25 years. They have always done a great job for us and it shows in the health and beauty of our many trees. Unfortunately, you can't please everybody. The negative review below was posted by our rear yard neighbor who is unhappy with the outcome of work we had Bartlett do. In a nutshell, there is a huge maple tree on our property that partially shades our neighbor's back yard (which is a shaded yard no matter what). We volunteered to have the tree trimmed to allow more sunlight to reach their yard. Since Bartlett was already scheduled to do other tree work on our property, we advised that we would have Bartlett do the work and we would share the cost. After Bartlett removed as much from the maple tree as we would allow, our neighbor expressed dissatisfaction and requested additional tree limb removal. We refused for the sake of the health and appearance of the tree. Our neighbor did not like this and decided to blame Bartlett. Nonsense - blame us if you are unhappy with our decision. Bartlett had nothing to do with it. In fact, Bartlett did a very good job for us once again.

Did not complete the job and refused to fix it. Suggested we ask a neighbor to trim their trees (basically asking for more money!!) We got several other price quotes from other companies that ranged from $200-$500, much less than Bartlett's ridiculously overpriced quote. However, we felt obliged to use this company out of respect for our neighbor (the tree is in her yard and she asked us to use "her tree guy"). Big mistake. Highway robbery. 
Response from Bartlett Tree Experts - 101111
"Dear Customer, our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist provided a clear and specific proposal for you with pricing that was proportional for the tree work requested. The work was completed in a low lying, dark lot surrounded by large trees. Our Arborist also went above & beyond to facilitate an agreement with your neighbor & you in an effort to satisfy both parties, preserve the health and beauty of this Maple, and to perform the tree work that was mutually agreed upon. We understand you are unhappy with having to get your neighbor’s permission to do additional tree work, which your neighbor didn’t grant; and the relatively low level of sunlight that reaches your property. The lower bids you received from gardeners would have surely resulted in an expensive trespass lawsuit. Bartlett proudly provides exceptional tree services that are legal and in full accordance with industry standards. We thank you for the opportunity to provide professional tree pruning services. Best Regards, Bartlett Tree Experts"

I received four (4) quotes to either trim or remove an overgrown Monterey Pine tree from our small patio garden. Only two (2) of the Arborist I spoke with recommended a complete removal, as the tree was adjacent to a neighbors home and the roots of that tree appeared to be growing under the neighbor's foundation.
The local manager, Juan Carrasco, from Bartlett Tree Experts came in at the lowest price and with the quickest time to schedule the work. Juan's crew arrived on time and carefully removed this four (4) story tree without damaging neighbors' property on either side of our garden. They worked carefully, but quickly and left the area clean afterwords.
Working with Juan Carrasco and his crew was amazingly easy and I will hire them again, should I need them. The good luck was they removed that tree one day before a massive storm that may have caused damage to either ours or neighbors properties, should that tree had not been removed in time.
