This was for tree removal at my parent's home. I have a condominium in Philadelphia and our building has used them over the last ten years for all tree matters. So I was hesitant to use them for a (smaller) project in Harrisburg. They proved to be fantastic, responsive, polite, prompt, professional, and did an excellent job, even though it was just for one house, they treated my family like we are a priority even for a small project as important as a big condo. Will definitely use them again!

They came with a team of men and cut the tree down safely. It was a big tree higher than our house.

I used them several times throughout the year because they were doing some work on some trees and it took more than one stop to do it.

We've had an ongoing professional relationship with Mike at Bartlett for a few years now, and we are very happy with him.  He is professional, friendly and courteous.  He also is very knowledgeable about his field.  We've had many trees installed recently on our property, and Mike has given us valuable guidance and instruction on how to properly care for and maintain them.  He's worked with our landscaper to help us all agree on proper tree planting and care.  Our landscaper has told us how much he respects and values Mike's expertise, acknowledging Mike's excellent reputation in the business.
Mike arrives when promised, returns phone calls promptly, calls if he's running even a little late.  Plus, he's just a nice guy.  He will not make a promise he can't keep.  If he isn't sure about a particular pest or treatment of any kind, he will research it.  He'll take samples of trees and soil and provide results and recommendations.
Unlike other tree services we've used, either Mike or the same employee(s) performs the treatments - there are no strangers arriving on our property, we recognize them immediately.
Bartlett's services are a little expensive, and Mike acknowledges that. My husband and I believe it's well worth it because nowadays it's difficult to find contractors who keep their word, behave in a professional manner and are open to discussion.
I indicated we spent $500 with Bartlett on our last service, but over the last few years, it's been a few thousand dollars.  Money very well spent.

My cherry trees dropped all their leaves the end of August.  I had them sprayed by another company, who took weeks to get back to me regarding the problem.  Two other companies did not return my calls.  Bartlett called back promptly, came as soon as they had an opening and explained the cause of the dropped leaves with a written statement.  I would recommend them and plan to switch.

The tree and shrub work was tentatively scheduled for 4/6/2014 thru 4/26/2014 weather permitting. Also included in Phase2 is pest management which is scheduled for 7/6/2014 thru 7/26/2014. This will involve bark treatment to help suppress Japanese maple scale on three of the trees. Lastly Soil and Fertilization is scheduled for 9/21/2014 thru 10/11/2014 involving all trees and shrubs which will help correct deficiencies and improve plant health.

 As stated, Phase 1 & 2 were scheduled for 4/6/2014 thru 4/26/2014 depending on weather. When I did not hear from Erik by 4/24/2014 I called him and found that weather had been a factor and had back logged his entire schedule. Erik apologized and told me that he and his team would be at my house on Saturday 4/26/2014 at 8 A.M. At 8 A.M. they arrived and worked tirelessly for the next 6 hours. Erik kept Betty and me updated as they progressed. I asked Erik if they usually work on Saturday and he told me that he did not but his crew did and that he wanted to come himself and apologize for the delay and to help his men.

When the men finished their work and cleaned up the entire site, Shawn and Ben asked us to come outside and inspect their accomplishments and assure them that we were satisfied with their work. We were elated with the transformation of our property. We are certain that all those who passed by during and after the job was finished took notice of the professionalism, appearance and quality of work done.

Erik was not outside when we inspected the work and I asked what happened to him. Shawn and Ben told us that Erik left to be with his family because it was his son's birthday. Angie ! add A+ to your ratings because this went above and beyond.

They were on time and did good work. We had a slight problem due to the fact they missed a branch that had nearly taken out the line to our security light on the first visit. Erik came back out and confirmed the oversight. They came back out and removed the branch for no additional charge. Overall we are satisfied with their professionalism and the quality of their work.

Removed large Juniper tree at the right front corner of the house. Removed overgrown hedge from the front foundation of the house. Pruned large Ornamental Fruit Tree located in front yard. The workers spent about an hour on the job and did everything specified on the work order. They removed all the debris and shredded it on site. Very efficient workers.

They did a great job. Scheduling was good, they came out in a reasonable amount of time. They do an excellent job cleaning up after the service.  They are not inexpensive but you get value for what you pay. I have used them in the past and have been very happy with their service.
