Margaret Governo, Staten Island, NY
The arborist was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about trees, and so I asked about options for a new tree planting. The entire crew was very friendly and worked quickly and cooperatively with each other. They were also fun to watch.
Alex R., Metuchen, NJ
Very happy with the whole process. Forman Johnny, if I remember correctly went over the details at the start and at the finish. Super pleasant interaction. Followed through on a detail I asked for, trimming hedge to make electric meter more accessible. Altogether the crew did a great job.

Charlie was very knowledgeable and gave me reasonable and helpful options. John, who did the treatments, was very courteous and answered any questions that I had during the treatment process. Would continue to use your service in the future.

What could Bartlett have done to make the experience better? Can not think of a thing. I was notified when they would be coming. They were on time. Knew what they were doing . John the technician is very competent and careful. Always polite and helpful. Charlie King expertly scopes out the job and supervises the work. I have great confidence in both of them. The costs for the work are reasonable and fair.

Very happy with service provided by the Bartlett team and our arborist Charlie who is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all our landscaping questions. Bartlett staff is always courteous and professional and is a pleasure doing business with them.
Camille G, Staten Island, NY
Everyone was professional and courteous. Bartlett pruned our two huge Magnolias with respect, enough but not too much.
Deborah D., Piscataway, NJ
From the cheerful phone response to my request for an estimate through the inspection of the work site by knowledgeable and enthusiastic Charlie King, I had confidence that the job would get done correctly. Even though I liked what I saw and heard, I checked other suppliers in the area. Of the dozen I spoke with, I only had six give me an estimate. Bartlett was the second highest, but the work attitude and the description of how things would be done convinced me. The crew were courteous and hard working. I was pleased that the price of the job was exactly as estimated. I enthusiastically recommend them.
Robert N., Metuchen, NJ

I have always had good experiences with your company. Been using you for years.
Jann J., Plainfield, NJ
We were concerned about the health of our trees in the yard due to falling branches. We contacted Bartlett for someone to inspect our trees. Met with Charlie King who assessed the health of the trees, recommended a pruning plan, cabling support system and tree root fertilization. It was a pleasure to meet and work with Charlie as well as the crews that performed the work. The cost for the work performed was reasonable, completed in a timely manner, and gave us peace of mind on the health of our trees.

I was left speechless by the way they dangled dangerous heavy branches like ballerinas gently to the ground.
Jill-Ann C., Staten Island, NY
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.
Amanda G., Edison, NJ
I am quite satisfied with the result. I sure will look into hiring your crew again next time.
Tsay H., Edison, NJ
I called several tree companies regarding the work I wanted to do, Charlie was the most knowledgeable person that came out and answered every question I had. I also appreciate he did not try to sell work I did not need. The crew that came to preform the work were friendly, answered my questions, and made sure I was happy before they left. Extremely happy with the service provided, would not hesitate to use this company again.
Karen B., Metuchen, NJ
The crew was really concerned about doing the job to my satisfaction. I'm really particular about my landscape so that was greatly appreciated.
Lisa Q., Colonia, NJ
All staff interactions over the years have been professional and excellent in in their service. Our trees and shrubs have never looked better.
Chris R., Staten Island, NY
I have always been pleased with any interaction I have had with Charles. The two man crew that came to remove my flowering pear tree was courteous and pleasant. They did a very nice job and cleaned up nicely. They had to put their bucket truck in my neighbor's driveway and my neighbor commented on how helpful and courteous they were. I have had Bartlett Tree Experts do work for me for many years and would definitely recommend them to my friends.
Rosalie V., Staten Island, NY
Charlie is always helpful and knowledgable, a real pleasure to deal with. The crew is courteous and always performs quality work. Cleanup was impressive.
Frank A., Staten Island, NY
All the representatives and staff were very helpful and answered all my questions...very pleased.
Dawn S., Edison, NJ
Well the job is done and well done indeed! German was awesome on the heights and Ryan diligent at ground level&what had to go&but in a way that maintained my treasured "green view" from the deck. Bartlett came highly recommended&I was told to call no one else. I will now be passing along that very same recommendation myself!
Maria D., Staten Island, NY
Charles King is always prompt in getting back to me, very informative, works actively with me re: scheduling, and is totally respectful of my wishes, concerns, etc. Crew members couldn't be better - careful, skilled, neat, and considerate.
