We had a storm come through. We lost four trees in our backyard. They were one of the few that we could get to come and give us an estimate. They did really good work. The crew that came to my house was actually from Connecticut but it was still through Bartlett. We had four huge trees come down. He cut up and removed the trees that fell down. Hauled the wood away. That was one of the things I liked about them. Most of the companies here would just put it by the street. But they actually hauled it away. You had piles of decaying trees laying in people's front yards for weeks if not months after the storm. They did a great job. Their estimate was actually less than other estimates that I got and those did not include hauling away.

The job went well. Contractor hired a crane to remove major limbs and then the trunk in a very safe and controlled manner. Post job cleanup was excellent.

Received three estimates from different companies ranging from $600 to $350 (Bartlett). Scheduled the job on 9/12 and was told they would be here Monday 9/15 between 8-9 AM. At 0805 the truck rolled in, we talked about the job for 10 minutes or so and by 0920 they tree was down, loaded in the truck and the yard all cleaned up. Best price by far, quick response on the job, showed up exactly on time and did exactly what they had said they would do. The crew were great to talk with and answered every question I had. I don't see how you could ask for better service and if ever needed again they will be the only one's I call.

I have been using their services for about three years. They are friendly and punctual. They do what they say they are going to do and stick to the price that was quoted. The work has turned out fine.

They were expensive, but you get what you paid for. I have had some fly-by-night people and they provided great quality and had all of the needed equipment. The work they did was great.

Brian Kelly was the director on site. It was a lot of work and they were able to complete it all in one day. They cleaned up very well after completing the job and got someone in to grind the stumps. We really liked their willingness to work around our schedule, the price, and the quality of their work. We were very pleased with the price and were surprised on how low the cost was. It was a very good experience.

Actual limb removal was done satisfactorily. However in cleaning up , they forgot to remove debris on roof. And most egregious of all, the truck tore down the cable/internet wires for service to our house. It was total absence of professionalism on this. One person could have been on top of truck and held wire up for truck to pass under...
When I questioned them about this, I was informed it was my problem not theirs...a flippant answer and that I should call Comcast. They even chuckled about it. Comcast was also totally unresponsive as they were involved in thousands of new students arriving for Fall semester at FSU. We were without cable/internet two days and a kindly neighbor with some expertise finally replaced the wire to the pole where it had been attached.
We do NOT recommend this tree service to anyone.

Work was done in a quality manner with minimal impacts to our yard and the surrouding vegitation. Bartlett's was not the least cost vendor for this work, but they indicated they could perform the services quicker than the lower cost vendor. This ended up not being the case. The work was done piecemeal over a 2 week period. This is the only compliant that I have with this firm.

"We appreciate the opportunity to work on your property. We are thrilled that you were happy with our overall quality and workmanship. However, we’d like to extend a sincere apology for the scheduling conflicts. July and August were quite difficult months for us, with the seemingly endless rain. We’d like to thank you for your patience and understanding, allowing us to complete this work when feasible. At Bartlett, we value our relationships with clients and look forward to expanding upon our friendship in the future, through superior service and professionalism.

They were prompt, polite, friendly and efficient. They dealt beautifully with several difficult trees due to either being very large and near the house or completely unclimbable and hard to reach.

During one of our crazy summer storms, we had a Sweetgum tree fall and hit our roof, bringing a nearby Magnolia tree down with it. Within an hour of calling our insurance, a representative from Bartlett was at our house to survey the damage and had his men there within another hour. These guys worked until the sun went down, tarped the house and finished the job on Saturday. They did a tremendous job removing the trees and clearing the debris. In a bad situation like that, it's great to have this kind of quality. They were courteous, professional and efficient. I'd say they're a little on the pricey side, but sometimes you do get what you pay for.

Don Pumphrey was a wonderfrul man to work with. He had a genuine regard fo the health nad appearance of our trees. He supervised the crew as they worked and did a follow up visit to make sure we where happy with the work. The crew was professionaland enjoyable to interact with. the cleanup was great. they even blew off the accumulated leaves on the roof.

They know what they are doing. They are very professional. Make sure they are one of your three estimates you get. They are professional and ethical.

It was fine. They came when they said they would and did what they said.
