Cabling and bracing

Cables and brace rods are supplemental structural supports intended to reduce the risk of failure of weak branches and multiple stems on the trees around your home.

Fertilization and soil care

Bartlett offers the most intensive soil management programs in the landscape industry. Before any fertilization is prescribed or performed on your property, soil samples are taken from the property and soil nutrient status is analyzed.

Insect and disease management

Bartlett Tree Experts uses an integrated approach to managing insects and diseases on your property. This begins with maintaining plant health using sound cultural practices, including pruning and creating optimal soil conditions for plant growth.

Pruning

Pruning, or tree trimming, is a practice that is periodically required on all woody landscape plants on your property. Bartlett arborists can help you with mature pruning, young pruning, or specialty pruning.

Storm damage

Most damage to your property during severe weather events occurs due to falling trees and limbs. Based on the outcome of an inspection, Bartlett may recommend appropriate treatments such as pruning, installation of supportive cables or braces, and even lightning protection systems.

Tree removals are performed on your property to eliminate dead and dying trees and those that have become hazardous and cannot be mitigated by other accepted cultural practices.

Don't miss these warning signs

Trees under stress display key symptoms indicating a serious problem may exist.

Correctly identifying the underlying cause is critical to addressing tree health issues.

Summer tree threats

Summer is a time of high activity for pests as well as tree diseases caused by fungi and other organisms. Some problems may be simply aesthetic, while others can be a real threat to tree health and vitality. As such, it is important to have an arborist check your trees to determine the underlying cause.

6/1/2026

Tree failures from summer storms

Summer storms often cause branches or entire trees to fall. Preventative care can help you maintain your landscape while mitigating the possibility of unanticipated costs.

6/1/2026

Tree care recommendations for summer

Given the stress from higher temperatures and lack of rainfall comon in summer, it is critical to water your trees and shrubs thoroughly. Applying a 3-4" layer of mulch, inspecting for pest infestations and scheduling fall fertilization can also help maintain tree health and vigor.

Critical care for trees

Now is a critical time of year to prepare your trees and shrubs for the coming season. Healthy trees and shrubs are better able to withstand the higher temperatures and dry weather conditions that summer brings. Proper care can help ensure the health of your landscape plants.

4/1/2026

Tick management

Given the likelihood of encountering ticks, it is important to know that controlling tick populations in your landscape is possible. The first step is assessing your landscape for common habitats like wooded areas, leaf litter and ornamental beds. Based on the assessment, treatments can specifically target at-risk areas.

Tree problems can cause long-term damage

Now is the time to address tree health issues that are commonplace this time of year. Problems including browning on evergreen needles, damage to twigs and branches, cracks or splits in the bark and root issues should be identified in early spring, before serious damage occurs.

3/6/2026

Ficus whitefly

Ficus whiteflies, also called fig whiteflies, are one pest in our area that has a devastating impact on ficus species. A severe infestation results in the tree or an entire hedge losing leaves completely. Taking action in spring can help prevent widespread damange.

2/10/2026

Prepare trees for spring

After winter ends, your trees and shrubs will be working hard to establish spring growth. A soil test in early spring can help determine the precise nutrients needed for that growth, yielding a fuller canopy and vibrant, health foliage.

1/6/2026

Winter pruning

Winter is the ideal time to prune many tree species. Removal of dead or diseased branches this time of year can greatly reduce the risk they pose to your home and property. Plus, pruning can improve the overall health and appearance of your trees, getting them in shape for spring.

10/1/2025
