The Acquisition Widens Bartlett’s Scientific Tree Care Coverage in the Eastern Portion of Baltimore County, Baltimore City, and Surrounding Areas

November 28, 2023 – Bel Air, MD. – Bartlett Tree Experts, founded by Francis A. Bartlett in 1907 and the world’s leading scientific tree and shrub care company, is pleased to announce it has acquired Baltimore Tree Experts in Central Maryland.

For more than 30 years, Baltimore Tree Experts has provided tree and shrub care services to commercial and residential clients in Baltimore and Howard counties. When owner Jack Roesner made the decision to retire, he found Bartlett to be the best fit to buy his business because of Bartlett’s focus on scientific tree care and people; and the Company’s commitment to exceptional customer service, quality, and safety. 

Roesner said, “The entire Bartlett team is dedicated to quality work and customer satisfaction in providing a full range of tree and shrub care services. Bartlett’s arboricultural research facility, the Bartlett Tree Research Lab, supports the Company’s offices in delivering the most advanced tree care solutions available.”

As part of the acquisition, an Arborist Representative and five production team members from Baltimore Tree have joined Bartlett’s existing Bel Air office. 

Jim Ingram, President and Chief Operating Officer of Bartlett Tree Experts said, “Growth through acquisition continues to be a strong path forward for us and we are happy to welcome our new colleagues from Baltimore Tree Experts. Adding to our team in Central Maryland assists us in providing a full range of scientific tree and shrub care services for our customers to maintain healthy, beautiful landscapes.” 

John Smithmyer, Vice President of Bartlett’s Mid-Atlantic Division said, “Our team members in the Bel Air office are excited to expand their service capabilities and grow with their new colleagues.”

The acquisition, Bartlett’s second this year in Maryland, was completed on October 20th. Bartlett Tree Experts currently operates 171 offices in the United States, including 10 in Maryland.
