We have multiple Oak Trees on our property, with two trees with major branches overhanging the roof of our house. One of the trees, a Twin Oak has one-half of the tree precariously leaning towards the house. As a measure against possible wind damage to the house, we wanted these trees pruned to eliminate the overhanging branches and address the leaning twin oak tree. Contacting Bartlett Tree Experts resulted in a meeting at our property with their local Arborist. I was impressed with his in-depth general knowledge of trees and the reasoning behind how to properly approach the surgical branch pruning that would not adversely affect the continued growth and life of the trees. While I had a preconception of the tree work that I wanted performed, from listening and considering his recommendations based on his education and experience, we were able to agree on what the most appropriate extent of pruning to be to provide us with peace of mind, while maintaining tree health. Within one week they prepared and sent me their cost quote to perform this work which was fair and reasonable. I did find that I had to repeatedly contact them to schedule a day that I would be home to observe the work, which was done within a two-week period from the original meeting. Under Matt's supervision, the two workers, using a cherry-picker bucket truck parked in our driveway, were able to perform most of the trimming and pruning work. For limbs out of its reach one worker expertly climbed up into the upper canopy of the Black Oak Tree to surgically remove the remaining branches. Throughout this process, they took great care to lower the large cut branches to the ground avoiding any contact with our cedar shingle roof. They ground mulched and carted away all of the cut branches and used power blowers, to clean up all of the remaining debris from the terrace, walkways, and driveway. As agreed, they also installed a new stainless-steel bolt & cable connection linking the two Twin Oak trees together, thus providing additional reinforcing strength against wind driven, tree swaying, and bending. Ultimately, I believe that Bartlett Tree Experts did an excellent tree pruning job for fair price and with my persistent follow-up calls, on a calendar schedule that met my desired time frame. Therefore, I can highly recommend them for this type of work.

I wanted to thank your team for the excellent pruning job done earlier this year. Unlike most of the neighborhood, after the recent N'oreaster we had less than a half dozen branches down, all of diameters under half inch, and no structural damage to any of our many trees. It is a pleasure to do business with you.

We appreciated the fact that during your assessment of the trees we were concerned with, you automatically did not agree they all needed to be cut down. One was removed, one will be treated, and the other we will wait and see. The crew was great. They were friendly, efficient, and cleaned up all debris. The area they pruned was done so beautifully . The last company we used just took a chain saw and chopped off branches and it looked horrible. Look forward to seeing you in September.

Matt was the key, although Bartlett’s pricing was higher overall, his tenacity and professional approach along with his knowledge and summarizations gave Bartlett the edge going forward. I have many trees that require maintenance from time to time. We are all pleased so far.
Dave S., Mountainside, NJ
Charlie King was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He assessed the health of two old trees and within a couple days emailed me a formal contract detailing the price for trimming the trees. Throughout the entire process, both the arborist and office staff were easy to reach and prompt in answering my questions. The crew trimming the trees were also professional and friendly. Though the price of Bartlett is a bit higher than other tree companies, I chose Bartlett because they are knowledgeable and promptly returned quotes, made appointments, and answered questions.

Thank you Mr. LePore for your professionalism. The young man that came to take care of our White Ash Tree was pleasant and professional as well. I shall be in contact with Bartlett in the future should the need arise and will definitely see you in two years for another treatment for our tree.

Patrick's consultation was informative and assuring. The crew was prompt, efficient, and respectful of my property. Outstanding service overall. Two tree services simply recommended we remove a significant tree on our property. Patrick provided an alternative to save it. The crew did a fantastic job. We now look forward to many more years enjoying our beautiful tree.

Your crew of Pierro, Jose, and German are a pleasure to deal with. They are finishing up now, and I am so happy to have had them here. They take pride in their work and must truly be an asset to Bartlett. I can not believe the physical intensity of their job. German said to keep an eye on the black oak, as it may need to be cabled. This crew was worth the wait.

Jake came at the scheduled time, answered all my questions, was well spoken, and acted professionally.
Thomas D., South River, NJ
All the young men who have been out to my home, to either spray trees, or spray for tick control, have been very, very professional. If I happen to be outside, they have all gotten out of the truck to come and speak to me, even if they have finished what they were doing and are ready to drive away. I greatly appreciate that.

For 22 years I have valued and admired Matt’s management of the health of our trees. He has shown a highly professional perception of early signs of disease and deterioration and has recommended prompt treatment and preventive measures. The crews are invariably polite and respectful of the property. I particularly appreciate that Bartlett adheres to all measures of worker safety during their procedures. I heartily recommend Matt and his fellow workers.
