Chicago Tree Service Testimonials

Bartlett is the best. I have fifteen year old trees in my yard at my home in Chicago, and it had been a daunting task to keep them healthy and alive until I met Bartlett Trees. They took soil samples and analyzed the disease in some of the trees. They had the knowledge and skill to put together an affordable plan of care and executed it well. This is the second year, and I am already seeing signs of new growth and vigor in my trees. I am so happy now. Joshua is great. He is quick to respond and patient with explanations. I find him knowledgeable and very customer oriented. Thank you for the help.

Beauregard had to call me a couple of times about an unpaid invoice and he was great to work with. Never made me feel bad . He truly puts forth a good image of Bartlett and takes pride in customer service. Thank you.

Bryan is polite and knowledgeable about trees. Treatment was perfect, we were notified before it started and there was no mess.
Robert D.

Everyone was incredibly professional and nice. We have used Bartlett twice in the past two years and both experiences have been great. Our arborist, Josh, was great in coming out and assessing what needed to be done. He quickly sent me a proposal and we were able to arrange a work date. The four person crew that did the job were all great. The foreman was the same young man who did our work two years ago and he is great. The three men on his staff were all great. They did a good job in digging out the bushes and cleaned everything up once they finished.
Pete G.

Very good communication and excellent service.
Isabel W.

They were all courteous. I had flowers coming up and they paid particular attention to keep from damaging them. They left the area clean and neat. The trees look great.

The Bartlett rep, Bryan, spent time going over exactly what my yard needed. His team arrived promptly, they were obviously experts and worked quickly, and cleaned up carefully. Would definitely hire again and recommend to others.

I was very happy with the tree care service provided by Bartlett Tree Experts. Joshua Rumbley, the Bartlett Arborist Representative, was very informative and provided excellent advice. He was also very patient and took the time to explain the reasons behind his suggestions. I appreciated Joshua's expertise and enjoyed working with him. The other crew members did a great job pruning and trimming the trees and cleaning up all the debris. They worked hard and were very courteous. The head of the crew walked me through the work they had done before they left and answered my questions. The walk through confirmed the work Joshua and I had discussed and was greatly appreciated. I am very pleased with the way Bartlett Tree Experts pruned and trimmed the trees in my yard and with the professionalism of the staff, both the arborist and the crew members. Thank you.
Donna M.

Bryan and Ben do a great job staying in touch and expertly caring for our landscaping. Much appreciated.

Bryan Peach, our arborist, has been very knowledgeable and professional with his recommendations. I have met some members of the crew and they have been very cooperative. My clients and myself are satisfied with the recommendations and the services.
Allen and Gita B.

All involved in services were efficient and courteous. Work done when promised and area cleaned up. Totally pleased.
Karen F.

The crew did a terrific job despite facing wasp nests in trees at both locations. They verified with me what they were going to cut and offered suggestions as the cutting progressed. Plus they obviously worked well together and the entire crew had a terrific sense of humor which really topped off their work. Would love to have the same crew back for tree trimmings in the future. Also, Bryan Peach was meticulous in how he specified on his proposal exactly what the tree crew should trim.
Susan F.

I was so disgusted and disappointed with the flies that had taken over my yard and gardens and my ability to enjoy them. Bryan came to the site understanding right away how sad and frustrated I was about it. Bryan is knowledgeable, friendly, communicative, and creative. He listened to me and wanted to learn about my priorities and we came up with a solution together that I was able to understand and feel good about in terms of likelihood of effectiveness in solving the problem, minimal impact to beneficial pollinators, and speed to execution of the plan. And it worked . I have sung Bryan's and Bartlett's praises on the Ukrainian Village Community Facebook page. Well done, you are my #1 choice for landscape care moving forward.
Shirlee B.

Bryan was wonderful to work with. He was kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. I appreciate your help!
Anna F.

I wanted to let you know the crew did a fantastic job. Their attention to detail was awesome and their ability to listen and communicate with me was outstanding. I will be recommending your services to others. And I will request the same crew for our next service. Thank you.
Cynthia G.

Everyone From Bartlett was knowledgeable and courteous from the initial consultation to the completion of the work. They listened to what I wanted, gave tips, and and acted accordingly to what I wanted. The clean up was great, never knew they were there.
Karen F.

The service provided was great and accurately done. Bryan Peach is just an amazing representative for the company. The crew members that I have met on occasions were also informative, courteous, and professional. I really like the Chicago team.
Shalanda G.

I was so impressed with everyone's professionalism and expertise. I have used other services who sent out knowledgeable sales people, but the folks who came later to do the work were inexperienced. This was not the case with Bartlett. Thank you.
Kathy Y.

All the way through from Bryan, Shane, and crew, the service and execution was top notch. Very impressed by everyone and everything.
Mike P.

Your representatives were helpful, reliable, and knowledgeable. I have worked with other tree services where the reps were good, but the crew that came out was inexperienced. Not so with Bartlett. Everyone who has come out to trim my trees and to treat my trees was professional and efficient. Thank you.
Kathy Y.

I have already referred you to a friend. Your crew was amazing. Tree trimming was done so deftly that it hardly showed. The pruned lilac flowers were all given to me as I had asked. None of my many plants were stepped on or otherwise damaged.
Sandy L.

Brian and his crew were all very professional. Highly recommend their service.
Stacey W.

Bryan is wonderful. He arrived on time and assessed what needed to be done while communicating that to us.

Every person I dealt with at Bartlett Tree Experts were all highly professional and excellent at their jobs.

From start to finish, every point of contact from Beauregard to Bryan was so positive. It felt like working with a friend that was fun, courteous, knowledgeable, and reliable. The crew took such great care of our property and the surrounding area. They also went above and beyond in helping us save a chunk of tree for my artist neighbor and sister-in-law.

I have only good things to say as my experience interacting on three occasions with Bartlett Tree service team has been excellent.

I am incredibly pleased with the quality of customer service provided to me.

Thanks to a skilled Bartlett crew, our large backyard silver maple is finally clear of power lines and the neighbor's home, and all dead branches have been cleared out for Spring! We are very impressed by the thoroughness of Bartlett's work, and grateful to Erik Grossnickle for his help in coordinating the trimming appointment.
Dena D.

Erik Grossnickle has always provided me with great service and a quick response. His knowledge has been extremely helpful on my sites and I enjoy working with him. His crews have been nothing but courteous and professional to work with over the years.
Don & Tonie Y.

Bartlett Tree Experts were wonderful to work with, from start to finish. We scheduled a quote appointment with a courteous staff member, Kathy, and were greeted onsite by a very professional Arborist Representative, Erik, who paid attention to detail as we walked through the yard and followed up with a quote within a matter of an hour or two. They worked to accommodate our request for an ASAP trim, pulled all required permits free of charge, arrived on time, did a walk through with a knowledgeable crew, and consulted with me throughout the trimming when necessary. During our post-job walk through, the trimmers (arborist climbers) explained their work and made sure I was satisfied before they left (our yard in perfectly clean condition). The team takes the shape of the canopy, view from the house, and impact on the growth of the trees into consideration verses simply hacking away like other tree trimmers do. Bartlett Tree Experts take their work very seriously and we will continue to call upon them for future work!

I'm writing this review as the neighbor of someone who had a large, massive tree removed by Bartlett Tree Experts. The tree was 105 years old and had been infected with ash borer. But when I say this tree was huge, I mean it was really huge. The three men working, Juvencio, Jose, and Zack, worked their butts off in terrible heat and humidity to break this tree down and haul it away. They never stopped working except for a lunch break. As a neighbor, knowing this massive tree was being cut down and the close proximity to my own house, I was very, very nervous. These guys did a phenomenal job. By the end of the day, each day, you didn't even know a tree that size was being removed. There was no sawdust anywhere; no damage to my home or the owner of the tree's home; no mess left behind; no inconvenience. Just fantastic. If I ever could suggest a tree removal service, this would be it and I would ask specifically for these three guys. They did an outstanding job and so much so, that I asked for their names just so I could write this review. I highly, highly recommend them. Awesome work and great service from this crew.

Erik continues to be one of Carl Sandburg Village's most trusted connections. His customer service skills are impeccable as is his response time. To say that he has been loyal to our 16-acre site would be an understatement. In the chaotic field of Property Management, Erik is one of the few contacts who makes my job an easier one. I am able to extend to him trust and in turn am rewarded by exemplary performance and follow up. Two thumbs up for Erik!
Steve H., Property Manager at Draper and Kramer

Erik Grossnickle did an amazing job. He is very knowledgeable and followed through with everything he said he was going to do. The two men who worked on our yard were methodical and did a great on the pruning. Thank you, Bartlett.
Karen and Robert F.

I have worked with Erik on numerous projects over the past three years, and each time he has exceeded expectations. He is professional, reliable, intelligent, and most importantly, a good man. He may not be the cheapest to work with, but neither is my company. When you consider the overall value and service he provides, working with Erik is a no-brainer.
Matt D.

Erik is very committed and dedicated to giving the best professional service to his clients. He truly loves his job and instills that enthusiasm in his crews and also his clients. He is truly a pleasure to work with.
Jim P., VP Maintenance, Chicago at Moore Landscapes, Inc.

We had a small job, but Bartlett was great. They were flexible about rescheduling when we had a family emergency, their work was high quality, and they even pruned a few extra shrubs that weren't even in the scope (which just tells me that they take pride in their work and hate to see a poorly maintained garden)! We'd definitely hire Bartlett again for future work.

Our patch of the urban forest, in the Wicker Park/Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago, has benefited greatly from our collaboration with Bartlett Tree Experts. It's hard for street trees to thrive; they're planted in too-small spaces, and need to survive damages inflicted by everything from dogs to car doors. The Wicker Park Bucktown Special Services Area hired Bartlett to complete an assessment of our street trees. The resulting inventory includes a detailed record for each tree. It provides a multi-year plan that addresses both necessary maintenance and accounts for special treatments as required. It also calculated the value for this resource. We also knew trees were important, both aesthetically and environmentally, but this inventory put a dollar value on it, which helps us in our advocacy work.

We are also extremely excited to be part of a research study that is evaluating a new fertilizing treatment, bio-char. This technique was used in pre-Columbian agriculture and is now part of a field evaluation in our tree pits. We owe this opportunity to arborist Erik Grossnickle, who has helped educate us on arboriculture, Bartlett Tree Experts are valuable partners.

Bartlett Tree Experts have helped the Lurie Garden achieve its sustainability goals through a comprehensive and effective Integrated Pest Management Program. Due to Bartlett's expert scouting, we have been able to treat all pest problems through beneficial insect releases and to keep the Lurie Garden pesticide free. Bartlett staff provides excellent and reliable service, which is crucial to keeping this public garden looking its best in all seasons.

We've enjoyed working with Erik Grossnickle, our Arborist Representative, on all services Bartlett offers including pruning, natural fertilization, and are amazed with the results from the root invigoration program. Bartlett's technical knowledge and research laboratory provide us with the best available resources for our trees and we would recommend them to any homeowner, landscape partner, or institutional property without reservation.
