More about Ethan Crockett
Ethan grew up in Midlothian, Virginia. While at Virginia Tech, his arboricultural background began with internships, including one at Bartlett Tree Experts. During that time, in addition to residential work, he also gained knowledge of commercial and utility arboriculture.
After graduating with a B.S. in Urban Forestry and Arboriculture, Ethan spent several years working for a California-based tree care company in San Francisco and San Diego. Caring for trees native to those areas greatly contributed to his professional experience. He holds the following certifications: ISA Certified Arborist, ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification, TCIA Certified Tree Care Safety Professional, and Virginia Commercial Applicator.
Ethan returned to Bartlett Tree Experts as an Arborist Representative in 2011, working in the same office where he first learned how to prune and care for trees. In 2014, he earned a promotion to Local Manager of the Richmond and Northern Neck offices. He continues to manage commercial and residential accounts, with a focus on Homeowners Associations and Elder Care Facilities.
He looks forward to serving clients in Richmond, Henrico, Goochland, Hanover, and the surrounding areas.

We are so fond of Ethan Crockett. He is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and kind. We are thankful for him. The crew was delightful. They worked continuously, efficiently, and with care. We enjoy our relationship with Bartlett and have been clients for at least fifteen years. We have a yard filled with lots of large trees. I love the trees. With Bartlett’s annual visits and advice, our trees are healthy and provide much pleasure to us. By maintaining the trees based on Bartlett’s recommendations, we have not lost any trees or suffered any property damage because of dying trees or limbs. As long as we continue to live here, we will continue our relationship with Bartlett.
Brenda R., Mechanicsville, VA
Ethan was great with advice and making major decisions. He was always on site before during and after on work being done. Bartlett made it possible for us too easily begin major renovations to our home. Thank you.
Julie B., Henrico, VA
This was my second experience with the Bartlett tree crew. I was 200% satisfied because the crew exceeded my expectations. My property was completely cleaned up to the point that, on the ground, you could not tell that tree work had been done. But when you look at my trees, you see beautifully shaped and balanced tree tops. All of this was done in a completely safe manner both to human life and property. You guys are amazing. I do want you to emphasize the physical tree climbing and trimming skills and artistic abilities of the man who climbed my tree. He is truly one of a kind. You all are blessed to have him.
Bevin M., Richmond, VA

Elizabeth F., Richmond, VA
My tree is a giant, double-trunk White Oak that pre-dates my 1901 farmhouse. It requires people who really know what they are doing, and the Bartlett crew more than met my expectations. They arrived on time and worked hard all day. They cleaned up beautifully. Best of all, the tree looks great, despite significant pruning. I could not be more pleased.
Ellen R., Glen Allen, VA
Not a single detail was left unaddressed. Very knowledgeable overall and thorough with the work and follow through.

Everyone was professional and respectful. The staff did a great job and I was informed every step of the way from when the field staff would arrive, when they got here, and when they were done.

Sarah W., Glen Allen, VA
Ethan was extremely knowledgeable and honest about the work needed on my property. He helped identify and prioritize the projects so I could budget properly. The three guys who did the trimming were pleasant, efficient, and cleaned up the yard so well you would not have even known they were there, aside from the missing trees. They were also willing to advise/discuss the minutia about the trimming process and branch selection. I was very happy with their service.
Dana J., Montpelier, VA
I appreciate the time and care Ethan takes when looking over my property to ensure it looks the best. I have had a lot done to my yard over the last year and a half, the landscaping and tree removal service has been exceptional and friends have commented on the appearance. I have recommended Bartlett to my parents and several friends.
Laura C., Henrico, VA
The crew arrived on time and let us know they were onsite. They reviewed the scope of work and asked if we had any questions. They did an excellent job and the trees look great. So good was the cleanup that you would not have known they had been there, other than the trees looked better.
Tom and Kathy S., Rockville, VA
The customer service was fantastic. Bartlett completed the work with excellence.
Keith M., Ashland, VA
Ethan is very professional and clearly knows his stuff. He came up with solutions others never offered. He took the time to fully explain the issues with my trees and with his suggestions.
Collin H., Glen Allen, VA
The team that is assigned to my home is fantastic. They have shown accountability since the very first appointment. They appreciate all of my work to create a beautiful yard and I feel a sense of partnership that exceeds most other service relationships. The team is always here when they indicate they will be here which helps address questions. Special shout out to Jon who takes amazing care and thoroughness to treat the shrubs and trees for disease and pests. I was transitioning my yard and my favorite trees were really struggling. I shared my vision with Ethan and identified all of the issues. Ethan understood my goals, developed a plan, set my expectation for execution and timing. A year later, my trees and shrubs are healthy, well manicured, and beautiful.
Martie B., Glen Allen, VA
Every interaction we have had with Bartlett Tree Experts speaks to their professionalism. Our arborist, Ethan Crockett, took time examining the trees on out property and listened to our concerns. He made insightful observations and recommendations. His comprehensive proposal addressed the needs of each individual tree, to the point where the cutting team could execute his instructions. The crew members that came out to cut and trim the tress were equally professional. They were polite, their work was methodical, and their focus on safety was always apparent. The team executed the arborist’s instructions and did a great job. We could not be more pleased. Before calling Bartlett Tree Experts, I did not fully understand the benefits of working with an arborist. Our arborist found diseased trees of which we were previously unaware, and made excellent observations and recommendations. The work done by Bartlett Tree Experts transformed our backyard from an overgrown jungle to a park like atmosphere.
Rick R., Glen Allen, VA
Bartlett is a terrific company to work with and I highly recommend them. They are professional, respectful of property, friendly, and safe. And as an added bonus, they are great with curious 3 and 4-year old boys who love trucks, machines, and want to know everything about tree pruning and removal I used Bartlett for tree removal and pruning a few years ago at the recommendation of a neighbor, and they were my first call when I was looking to have similar work done this fall. It was easy to schedule an appointment for an evaluation of my property, and Ethan Crockett came out and provided a detailed estimate for both the work he recommended and the work I was considering. He pointed out a tree that appeared to be fine when viewed from the house but was actually rotting at the base around the other side, and leaning over a neighbor's shed. We ended up with quite a list and Ethan added considerable value by coming out again and re-grouping the list into prioritized tiers. Once we decided what to move forward with, the appointment was scheduled promptly. We got a reminder call the day before with additional information about arrival time and other preparation guidance. On the day of the appointment the crew arrived on time, evaluated the condition of the yard, and got to work. They clearly take safety seriously and had cones set up to mark areas where branches would be falling. They perform their work carefully and thoughtfully, unlike other companies I have seen who chop away at trees haphazardly. They were also respectful of my property and any adjoining property that was impacted by the work, and cleaned up thoroughly. But best of all, the crew was really great with my 3 and 4-year old boys, who supervised the work all day and peppered the crew with questions and knock-knock jokes. I was thrilled with the work they did, and my boys were over the moon with the whole experience. They probably would not be the least expensive quote you get, but their customer service, knowledge, high quality of work, professionalism, and safety are totally worth it if those are things you value.
Emily C., Richmond, VA
I have worked with Ethan for over ten years now, and I have come to trust him a great deal. When I have called him with concerns about individual trees, he usually finds ways to preserve them and keep them healthy. He strikes me as a guy who really cares about trees. For this reason, when he does recommend that we remove a tree, as he recently did, I trust his judgment. When my wife and I first bought our home in 2009, I never imagined that I would come to depend on an arborist the way we have come to depend on Ethan. Ethan is the reason we will continue to call upon Bartlett.
Just a quick comment about the three man crew who recently removed a big Maple in my backyard. They were here for two straight days, and they worked tirelessly. At no point was I concerned about damage or that something would go wrong, despite the fact that the Maple was oddly shaped, with large limbs hanging over my home. I was able to speak with all three of them over the period that they were here, and each of them was friendly, warm, funny, and easy to chat with. This is a rare thing, and I just wanted to recognize them for their quality, both as workers and people. They represent Bartlett very well.
Kevin P., Richmond, VA
Ethan Crockett was very helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone I spoke with on the phone was courteous and helpful. All the services I requested were completed as expected, and very efficient and clean. Will certainly call again for any future issues.
Pete C., Glen Allen, VA
Very professional and capable staff. From the office, Ethan (the estimator), notifications and scheduling, and the actual work done.
Ed St., Glen Allen, VA
Ethan Crockett was highly recommended by our neighbors in the past, and we feel he is among the best in his field. I trust his advice over other arborists in the area and am glad we obtained his advice before allowing another company to take action that would have certainly hastened the loss of one of our large Poplar trees. I only had limited interaction with the crew member who fertilized our Oak tree, but he was respectful and nice.
Leslie A., Henrico, VA
All of the people I interacted with were very courteous. Ethan Crockett, the arborist, was very knowledgeable and had great ideas for solving my issues. He was also very responsive to my phone calls and emails. I felt very confident that he and his crew would do a good job and they did. The crew members that worked on the trees were also very knowledgeable and polite. They did an excellent job trimming the trees and cleaning up.
Mary M., Ashland, VA
Nice folks to work with.
Justin O., Montpelier, VA
Entire event was outstanding from start to finish. Bartlett employees were prompt, courteous, and quite knowlegabe, and we are extremely satisfied with their service.
Hardy P., Bumpass, VA
Very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.
James and Nancy B., Richmond, VA
Ethan was knowledgable and helpful. We appreciated his patience with diagnosing our issue.
Melanie P., Richmond, VA
Since I have more that needs to be done than I can afford, Ethan Crockett worked with me to establish a priority of the work that is essential. It was obvious that Joe and Martin have worked together for some time. There was not much conversation between them, but they seemed to anticipate what was needed to be done, and worked as a team to accomplish it. Before they left, everything was cleaned up. They made sure that I felt the job was completed to my satisfaction.
Betty L., Ashland, VA
Everyone on the Bartlett Team was beyond expectation. When we were shopping around for a professional to handle a very old American Elm in our backyard that appeared to be diseased with infestation of insects, we started going down our list in reaching out to tree service companies where no one even answered their phone. When we reached out to Bartlett, they answered promptly, and provided the information we needed to set up an onsite consultation. We were given the information we needed by their Arborist Ethan. Ethan was so knowledgeable and professional. We made an appointment for the crew to begin work and everything went like a well orchestrated dance. The crew worked in unison with each other and carried out two very long days of hard labor. Safety was a priority and the equipment on site was very well planned. As the tree was cut down, branch by branch carefully, it was put through a chipper, destroying all the diseased wood and debris. The worksite was spotless when they were finished. Then the stump and root grinder service came through and left the work site with a beautiful level ground. No one would ever know there was ever a 100 year old tree there. Then drawing our project to an end, we received a wonderful call from Bartlett to make sure everything had met our expectations. Bartlett is Exceptional and I would recommend them highly.
Jamie M., Richmond, VA
Ethan was fantastic and got treatment for my ailing tree the next day even though it was July 4th week. Fingers crossed that my tree will make it, I think it has a fair shot since Ethan came.
Jennifer K., Glen Allen, VA
Ethan walked our yard and found a dangerously dead tree we thought was healthy. He is a great asset for Bartlett.
Chrisand Alice W., Richmond, VA
We had an all around excellent experience. Ethan was great to work with. Both my wife and I were very impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. He did everything in his power to make sure that our needs and expectations were met and spent a lot of time with us to ensure we had satisfactory answers to our questions. Effort should be made to properly reward him for his hard work. We will definitely be repeat customers thanks to our experience with Ethan and with your company.
Paul S., Richmond, VA
Very courteous and professional. We are very pleased.
Robert L., Richmond, VA
I was impressed with Ethan’s friendly manner, yet he was very professional. The crew that cut down my tree was also very friendly. I am happy with the work they did. They worked together well to get the job down quicker than I expected.
Jo Anne W., Mechanicsville, VA
Everyone we worked with from the people answering the phone to the tree removal workers were incredibly professional and helpful. The Arborist, Ethan, was amazing to work with.

Alvin G., Richmond, VA
Ethan was very helpful in presenting ideas and alternatives to how the work could be accomplished. He provided detailed estimates of segments of work that needed to be done which allowed me to make good decisions. He clearly has a good knowledge of trees and tree service work.
Tom C., Richmond, VA
Been working with Ethan Crockett for several years. He is very knowledgeable and provides sound advise when it comes to improving the looks of the property. His suggestions are welcomed and I have taken his advise on more occasions than not. I consider him a friend and look forward to future dealings. Bartlett is fortunate to have Ethan.
John H., Richmond, VA
Ethan Crockett has done a good job when reviewing my landscaping every year for things that may need to be treated. The Arborist that pruned my Crape Myrtles this year listened to my requests for shaping and did a wonderful job.
Lisa F., Richmond, VA
We are very appreciative of Ethan’s willingness to share his knowledge and expertise with us. We have learned a lot from him.
Jo K., Richmond, VA
Everyone was extremely polite and professional. The work was clean and prompt. The Arborist did a great job helping me decide what was best to improve curb appeal and the life of our trees. I look forward to seeing the changes the work will make in my front yard and completing the work in the backyard in the future. They not only care about your trees and bushes they also gave me advise that extended the life outside our house. Thank you so much Bartlett.
Brenda C., Richmond, VA
We continue to be very pleased with Ethan Crockett's expertise and how he works with us. Every Bartlett person we have had contact with over the several years you have done work for us has been #1.
