What Our Customers Are Saying About Clayton Shaw
Clayton, the arborist, did a great job. He provided excellent advice and produced a very good tree and shrub pruning plan. The crew of Caleb, Kevin, Pat, Matt, and Tucker did an outstanding job. They were well organized, professional, did very fine work and appeared to work very safely. Kevin spent a lot of time and effort pruning the large Beech tree in the back yard. He was very careful, and it looks very good. And I believe Pat did a great job for my ornamental Cherry tree. All in all a very good crew.
Noel S., Fredericksburg, VA
Bartlett staff has always been professional and courteous. Thanks for taking care of my Live Oak.
Roger L., Fredericksburg, VA
Excellent work and pleasant people. Thank you.
Janet K., Fredericksburg, VA
It was a very good experience. No suggestions for improvement. Arborist did a thorough review of my trees and shrubs. Found a pest issue with Japanese Holly which will be treated. I did not know problem was present. The pruning was done by hand and with great care. Shrubs look so much better and will be healthier.

It is always a pleasure dealing with Bartlett personnel. Everyone is pleasant and eager to please. Bartlett did an excellent job in helping me after I purchased a very neglected property.

Good people that really know their business. Clayton is very helpful.
Sharon J., Fredericksburg, VA
Once again, I was very pleased with the excellent work that the crew did. I like to be here when they come so that I can ask any questions that I may have. I always learn something new as a result. Even though Clayton thoroughly explains what work will be done when we do the annual contract, it is good to be sure that the crew is on the same page, they always are. The two trees look excellent. I am so looking forward to seeing everything bloom in the spring. I so appreciate a local company that does excellent, expert work and their staff who always takes the time to answer questions and explain. Everyone is clearly passionate about what they do.
Ruth B., Fredericksburg, VA
Informative, courteous, friendly, industrious, are a few words I would use to describe all of the Bartlett employees I have had the pleasure of meeting.

Team arrived when promised. Worked quickly and took the care necessary. Happy with the service Bartlett has provided over the years.
Adela B., Stafford, VA
Over the past two to three years, I've consulted with Clayton and a few of the "team" crew members. Without exception, they were both thoughtful and professional. Thank you for your assistance most especially with regard to reviving our Maple tree back to health.
Kenna S., Stafford, VA
Crew members were thorough. They explained what was to be done before starting work. Everyone has been friendly and courteous.
Janet W., Stafford, VA
They were great.
Dick B., Fredericksburg, VA
Your staff and your Arborist did an excellent job and should be commended for their thorough explanation of the work they did and what still needs to be done. We felt very confident in their ability to complete the job to our satisfaction, especially since we did not want to have to take down our beautiful Ash tree. After a thorough inspection and a thorough explanation of our options by your Arborist, it helped us make a better decision what to do. Very professional and courteous team did an outstanding job. We highly recommend this company. Looking forward to continuing doing business with them.
Sheila P., Fredericksburg, VA

The arborist was very knowledgeable and very courteous and was not in a hurry to get on to his next site. A very likable guy.
Gary V., Fredericksburg, VA
Crew was very courteous and professional. Very pleased. I will contact them again for any future tree work I may need.
James C., Stafford, VA
Our Cypress are doing very well with your care. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Larry K., Stafford, VA
It was a 10+. And when they finished, the area was cleaner than before they pruned. So I am not sure how it could improve. Very pleased with all components of the job, receptionist at your office, Clayton’s visit and assessment, and the actual pruning. So glad my neighbor two doors up raved about the service she had from Bartlett. Recommended your company to me for a problem I was having with the Zelkova tree. You are working on it, but the tree is not cooperating very well. At his last cupidity, Clayton said we will wait till next spring and see how it is doing.
Anne A., Fredericksburg, VA
Bartlett is way better than any of these so-called tree service guys who drive around door-to-door with a pick-up truck and chain saw calling themselves a tree service. My last negative experience with one of those honey rocks is why I called Bartlett for the first time several years ago. You guys are the best.
Sheridan H., Fredericksburg, VA
Very thorough, polite, and professional. I am very happy with your services and crew.
Kathleen T., Stafford, VA
Very professional, friendly, and efficient.
Rita S., Stafford, VA
Great team, Clayton is very nice and knowledgeable.
Linda Q., Fredericksburg, VA
Everyone was great.
Margaret W., Fredericksburg, VA
Crew was friendly, courteous, and efficient. They answered all questions I had. Clayton explained exactly what would be done, when, and why.
Janet W., Stafford, VA
Very responsive and informative.
Robert G., Stafford, VA
Everything was professional and thorough. Matt and Pat welcomed my input and responded respectfully. It felt like a collaboration. The trees look very good. Another crew came over and helped with the cleanup. We had a major storm yesterday and only a few small branches fell on the ground. Looks like they got all the dead limbs when they were here.
Doug M., Fredericksburg, VA
My experience with the Bartlett staff has all been first rate. They do the work I have asked them to do on time and with excellent results.
Jeff P., Fredericksburg, VA
Very professional and courteous.
Melanie F., Fredericksburg, VA
Excellent Company. Will use them again and highly recommend.
John Sheffer, Stafford, VA
Professional and caring.
Ken G., Fredericksburg, VA
Very knowledgeable, professional,and courteous.
Linda Q., Fredericksburg, VA
Bartlett has been awesome. I have a busy road behind my house and a small strip of wood line as a buffer that was left when they cleared the land for the neighborhood. There is a lot of wildlife in this little bit of wood line that I did not want to compromise. There is a lot of English ivy climbing into the tree tops that will eventually kill my trees. Bartlett clipped the ivy from around most of the trees and treated it to prevent or slow the growth back. The ivy is dying or already dead and I am so happy to keep these trees without endangering the wildlife. This natural wood line buffer is so much nicer than an ugly fence. They did great work and everyone I have dealt with has been so nice, from the person I spoke with on the phone, to Clayton who came and advised how to handle the situation and gave the estimate to the men who came and did the work. I just could not be happier. Thanks Bartlett.
Mark M., Fredericksburg, VA
Our crape myrtle was pruned in early December and I think the pruning saved it from damage in the early January snow storm. Thank you Brian and crew. Even with that, one branch broke and so I called to see if Clayton could prune the damaged branch when he was at my neighbors home to do an inspection for one of her trees that came down in the storm. He came, introduced himself and pruned the branch. Thank you to Clayton and the staff who are always responsive and helpful whenever I call.
Ruth B., Fredericksburg, VA
Would not dream of having any tree service other than Bartlett. From Keri to Clayton to the awesome crew, they all get the job done.
Sydney C., Fredericksburg, VA
Clayton and the entire crew are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. After their work over the last few years we would not let anyone touch our trees or shrubs.
