More about Jacob West
Jacob has been involved in tree care for more than 25 years. He began climbing and pruning trees in East Texas for a small tree care company while attending Arthur Temple School of Forestry at Stephen F. Austin State University. After he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Forestry with an Urban Forestry emphasis, Jacob joined Bartlett Tree Experts in 2006.
An ISA Certified Arborist, Jacob is also Oak Wilt Qualified, a Texas Department of Agriculture Certified Applicator, a Bartlett Local Office Manager, and an active member of the San Antonio Arborists Association. Utilizing Bartlett’s scientific approach to keeping trees healthy and safe, Jacob helps customers take the best care of their landscapes.
Jacob is a volunteer instructor at local arboricultural education workshops and training events. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family kayaking, bicycling, and listening to live music. His favorite Texas native tree is the post oak, and his favorite trees in the world are redwoods—which he’s climbed!

Just very professional. Luke treated for borers and fertilized. He was very courteous and answered all my questions with professional patience.
Sharon W., San Antonio, TX
Because I bought my tree and the house came with it seventeen years ago. Bartlett Tree Experts and Jacob have been the only business and person I have trusted with it.

Amazing.

I sincerely appreciate Jacob and Bartlett for their expeditious handling of the storm damaged tree in my backyard. I am truly amazed at how efficiently Jacob was able to handle this situation, especially since there are more storms threatening our area which would have no doubt damaged this tree further. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone or any business in the area who is in need of tree repair service, particularly if damaged trees are in need of attention.
