What Our Customers Are Saying About Travis Black
Travis did a fantastic job reviewing our trees and providing confident advice regarding priorities. Paul, Mark, and Bethany were careful, extremely skilled, and efficient, as were the second crew, sorry I did not catch their names. I was extremely impressed by Bartlett. I would hire them again, and I would recommend them to friends and neighbors.

Doug F., Chapel Hill, NC
We have really enjoyed working with both of the arborist representatives we have had, first Bryan and now Travis. They are terrific. I really feel that Bartlett listens to us, addresses our concerns, and has established a solid, professional relationship with us to help us take care of our trees and shrubs. I apologize for not having his name handy, but the guy who planted the two Maples in our yard, a little over a year ago, did an amazing job.

Leena A., Chapel Hill, NC
The men went right to work removing two dead trees in our yard. The men were gone almost before I knew it and if I could not see the stumps where the trees had been I would not have remembered where the trees had been in the first place. Great job.
Kathy T., Chapel Hill, NC
All the guys do a good job and all the guys are gentlemen. What more could you ask.
Betty Y., Chapel Hill, NC
The initial visit from Travis was very helpful and informative He took his time with us, explaining the specific conditions of several trees on our properties and gave us a range of options, with recommendations, for two of the trees that needed to be addressed soon. The guys who came for the work were excellent. They were courteous, did an excellent job, and cleaned up incredibly well. I had initial concerns that some limbs might fall on a nearby walkway and recently added plants. But, they were very careful and the area had almost no impact after they were done. Could not be happier with those guys.
Steve M., Chapel Hill, NC
My first Bartlett representative of fifteen years recently retired, and losing a long-term relationship and change is not always easy. However, I have been delighted with the transition to my new representative, Travis Black. We have had several tree disease emergencies, and he is always easy to reach and sends a technician on the spot. I feel confident with Bartlett Tree service in every aspect. We have two properties, one in town with just half acre and a farm with fifty acres. Both properties have beautiful trees that need the expertise and care Bartlett has to offer.
Barbara M., Chapel Hill, NC
I have relied on the expertise of Bartlett since moving here in 2005. Everything from caring for my trees to teaching me how to prune bushes. Their customer service is second to none.
Annette H., Chapel Hill, NC
We really appreciate how responsive you all are to our questions and the love and care you put into our trees.
Tiffany S., Chapel Hill, NC

Travis is very knowledgeable and professional. He gave his recommendations without pressure to act. The crew members were focused on getting the job completed in a timely manner without sacrificing quality of the work. The crew confirmed the work completed was to our satisfaction. Excellent service.
Bob R., Chapel Hill, NC
Travis is an excellent representative for your company. He says what he does and he delivers. The job was completed exactly as described and I could not have been happier with my choice to use Bartlett Tree Service. I was amazed at how the tree cutters performed their work as they corralled the tree to be cut down and then began at the base with the cuts and then slowly danced with the tree to bring it safely and securely between my house and neighbors. Clearly, you have excellent tree cutters who know what they are doing. Many thanks. I actually saw one of the workers sweeping up wood specks and using a dustpan to put them in trash receptacle they hauled away. My neighbor's love the new look at my house - so much cleaner looking.
Sherry G., Pittsboro, NC
