I really am unable to comment on their actual service as I never got to experience it. I experienced their lack of service.Just had a very frustrating and un-understandable respond from this company. I liked what they had to say about their business on Angie's List and they had good reviews. I scheduled them to come look at my tree for an estimate on 10/17. I had to reschedule due to a death in my family. I made a 9 am appointment with them on the following week (10/24) so I could still make it to work. By 9:15 no one had come, so I called and was told they had the appointment scheduled for 9:30. and the arborist was on the way.I did my best to wait but, by 9:50 still no one had come and no call to say hey i'm going to be late. I called back to let them know I had to leave for work. I rescheduled for the same time the next week, 10/31 and again no one showed up. Again I called and was told the arborist had come on 10/24 after I had already left for work. I was told he did an evaluation of the work and he told a staff member he would call and share his thoughts with me. He never did call. I guess he was supposed to call me before the appointment I had re-scheduled on 10/31. No one bothered to call me to tell me no one was coming to meet me as I expected on the morning of 10/31 and no one bothered to call and tell me I was going to get a phone call instead of the appointment we scheduled. To date I have never heard anything. I have been gathering estimates from other companies instead. It was very frustrating as they looked like they cared about their work. I need some tree care done and am ready to pay for it. I do not understand their lack of follow through, lack of consideration for a potential client's time and their lack of service oriented customer care. It was all a puzzling and frustrating experience.
Description of Work: I guess maybe they did an appraisal of the requested work, but i was never given any information in regards to this.

They set up an appointment to give an estimate on my trees, then didn't show up. We rescheduled and they didn't show up (although I did pass their truck on my street, parked in front of the neighbor's house - if they were here for me or the neighbor I do not know). When followed up with, by social media, they finally set an appointment over email which they kept... but then they never sent the promised estimate. I can only assume that appointment was kept because I contacted their national office over social media, and that some initial assumption was made based on either my home's location or appearance as to what I could afford as a customer... I really don't know if I would use them again or not, as they haven't really given me the opportunity to avail myself of their services yet...
Description of Work: Evidently, a cursory visit to look at my property after I contacted their corporate office via social media to inquire after several missed appointments.

There was an Angie's List coupon for a free consult. I called the office and made an appointment for the arborist to come to my house. After he was an hour late I called the office and was told that he had a family emergency and had to leave early. Things like this happen. The office person apologized and I made another appointment. After the arborist was an hour late the second time I called and no one was in the office. However, the recording gave a cell number for the arborist so I called and got his voicemail. In a calm tone I told him that he missed the appointment a second time and asked him to call me back. He never did. I figure 3 strikes and you are out. I have no idea whether they are good at what they do.
Description of Work: None.

Very high quality tree service that explains the reasons for their recommendations and provides the services independently without having to schedule an appointment with me needing to be home.
Description of Work: We have an annual service contract that includes multiple tree services such as treating our evergreens for pests, fertilization, and treatment of our ash trees for emerald bore. The emerald bore treatments are particularly pricey our our very large ash tree ($500 treatment that protects 2 years); however, I think this service will be well worth improving the likelihood that we save this beautiful tree. Service performed to the evergreens last year also included removal of a tied bag that was left on the trunk of the tree by the original landscapers, which was choking the tree, and removal of root offshoots that were wrapped around the trees. Since then, the trees have really begun to thrive. Steve Lake the aborist, meets with me annual to review the health of the trees on the property and make recommendations. Steve seems to really know his stuff and is passionate about his job.

Overall, I was pleased with the service. Their staff was extremely knowledgeable and I felt like they did the work with excellence. However, it was difficult to get in touch with their staff to schedule the service and when I did, the work didnt actually get done for another 2-3 weeks after that. Not a great customer service experience up until the work got done (which was executed very well and professionally).
Description of Work: Inpect and treat all my trees (10-15, mostly old) for insect damage and soil management. Provide me a report for the condition of those trees.

Mr. Lake is experienced, knowledgeable and clearly quite passionate about trees. He is available for consult by e-mail if I have any questions (though sometimes it takes a few days). I don't have to be there when they do the treatments and he checks up on my trees himself when he is in the area. Highly recommend this company
Description of Work: First of all I signed up for an annual tree maintenance with three problem areas identified last year when I had Mr. Steve Lake out to evaluate all my trees. Most of them were planted too deep so last year I had work done to open up the base of the trunk. This year they are treating a hawthorne, two pears, a little leaf linden Mr. Lake's been keeping an eye on for me, and now my two ash trees. I agree to all the work up front and they just come and do it when it is appropriate and bill me each time. so the above was for a treatment of rust on my hawthorne.

While the serviceman was examining the work to be done for the estimate, I was able to talk over alternatives with him and came up with a plan that best served my needs. Rather than just give me an estimated cost at that time, the estimator took notes, and, later that day, sent me an email containing a full description of the work to be done and the cost of that work. On the day of the service, the workmen showed up promptly at 8:30 AM. By the end of the day, the trees and branches were gone, the two stumps ground down, and all debris all cleaned up. The yard looked great. The workmen were clearly professonals in the quality and efficiency in which they worked. They were careful to bring the trees and branches down so that there was no damage to my property or my neighbor's property. They put orange cones around the work area for safety. All of my communications with the company whether it be with the estimator, the office, or the workmen was very pleasant and courteous.
Description of Work: Cut down 2 trees, cut off a large branch on another tree, and trimmed a few other branches overlapping the roof of my house. Two wires installed in one tree to support separate, spreading trunks. The stumps of the 2 trees cut down were ground up below ground level. All cut wood and debris hauled away.

Called the company on a Tuesday morning and Steve Lake came to the house that same afternoon. After evaluating the health (or lack of) of my Pin Oak tree we looked at other trees on the property. He seemed as concerned as I was about the shape and proximity to the house of a Mulberry tree and of a "weedy" overgrown Japanese Maple tree. He was very clear and explicit in showing me signs of bad health and condition of the Pin Oak. Steve gave me a choice between spending several hundred dollars (or more) on having a soil analysis done follwed by some special feeding and root work or removing the tree. He recommended removal of the Pin Oak and Mulberry and I agreed. After asking me what I wanted to do with my Japanese Maple he recommended it be thinned and shaped. Ten minutes later he gave me an estimate and I agreed to have the work performed. Three days later two men and their truck arrived early and worked a half day until they were finished pruning, cutting and cleaning. They did an excellent job with shaping and pruning the Japanese Maple. The overall cost - I felt - was on the high side, but I trusted this company to do a good job pruning that Japanese Maple. I could have hired some local tree removal company to take away the Pin Oak and Mulberry for much less (for about $400) but would not feel comfortable about having them work on the Japanese Maple. I'm very satisfied.
Description of Work: Removed a medium Mulberry tree. Removed a small Pin Oak tree. Pruned and thinned a Japanese Maple tree. Removed all debris and raked and cleaned yard.

Received one call an hour before service and received no call before the second. The original consultant I dealt with seemed rushed and not particularly responsive to my questions.

We have used Bartlett Tree Experts for several years in our condo complex. Their work is always prompt and professional.
Description of Work: Steve Lake of Bartlett Tree Experts keeps an eye on the trees around our condo complex. Last summer we had the company remove a tree that had partially fallen, as well as trim back an expanse of the tree line behind the complex that had overgrown. They also treated for bagworms. Steve stops by from time to time, then sends along his recommendation of what needs attention. Over the past few years we've had this company trim trees, remove fallen trees and branches, as well as clean up after the big windstorm. They are professional, responsive, and obviously quite knowledgeable about trees and tree care.

THE ESTIMATOR WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, COURTEOUS, AND TOOK CARE TO ENSURE THAT EACH OF MY REQUESTS WAS ADDRESSED. HE OFFERED SUGGESTIONS BUT DID NOT PUSH UNNECESSARY ITEMS ON ME. THE WORK CREW WAS VERY EFFICIENT, POLITE, AND TOOK CARE TO DISCUSS JOB DETAILS WITH ME. THEY LEFT OUR YARD CLEAN AND LOOKING GREAT. THE TREES AND BUSHES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE NOW. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAD TO CALL A COUPLE TIMES TO GET THE ESTIMATOR TO COME OUT, AND THEN A COUPLE TIMES TO GET OUR APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED.
