I will certainly continue to use Bartlett and recommend them to friends.

Jennifer C., Chevy Chase, MD

Everyone who has come to my home from Bartlett has been courteous and knowledgeable starting with Kevin and including the people who have done the work on my trees.
Cindy L., Laytonsville, MD

A very large limb fell in our back yard, and just missed doing significant damage to our landscaping. Kevin Clair quickly worked us into his busy schedule and visited to assess the situation. He also checked our other trees in both front and back to identify any risks and any actions we should take to maintain tree health. He gave us an estimate the same day. A crew came within two weeks to remove the fallen limb and prune the remaining stub. They were very carefully removed all the debris, with no damage to the landscaping. The site is clean, you would not know that anything had fallen. They also selectively reduced limbs on two other trees to provide more clearance from electrical wires and avoid over pruning by Pepco. A natural organic fertilizer was applied on a separate visit to maintain the heath of two trees. Kevin and his crews have been taking care of our trees for years and we were always very pleased with their work.
Roland W., Takoma Park, MD

Crew members and representatives are always pleasant and professional. I appreciate advanced notice when crew members are on our property.

Our Dogwood trees have not looked this good in many years. Last year we had Bartlett spray them for the first time and they were gorgeous. We have not seen so many berry clusters on the Dogwoods in a long time. We also had them prune and shape our other trees. They did a fantastic job.
