Bartlett Tree Experts

Great Service. We worked with Robert Barber who was knowledgeable, and worked with us to get everything done at a reasonable price. Thanks!

Having Bartlett Tree Experts come to your urban garden is almost as cool as having Spidar Man visit your back yard! On January 31^st I moved into a new co-​op and have had a constant flow of workmen, «handymen», and other so-​called «professionals» in and out of my apartment. By far, the most (only?) responsible, prompt, REALLY-​KNOW-​WHAT-​THEY-​ARE-​DOING professionals has been Bartlett Tree Experts. A friend who works at the Bronx Botanical Gardens referred me to Bartlett last summer when I was first looking at this apartment. She said they were THE «go-​to» tree experts used by the Botanical Gardens as well as most other major NYC parks, university grounds, etc. I called and was contacted promptly by Mr. Charles King. I explained my concerns about the apartment I was considering (aging trees in the back yard, dead limbs, light concerns, maintenance issues). He offered to come to the apartment and look at the trees. No charge. Just to give me an opinion. He gave me and the seller’s’ real estate broker an eye-​opening and jaw-​dropping explanation of what the issues were andwhat could be done. He was amazingly informative. I am sure this realtor will never ever ever sell an apartment in NYC that has trees without remembering Mr. King and the education he gave her. In any event, I bought the apartment in January and needed the tree work done ASAP in the dead of winter because there were imminent liability issues (when I moved in I saw a big branch detatched from a tree and about to fall on a neighbor’s property). I called Mr. King, he remembered me/​my apartment and said he could get it taken care of 2 days later. AND NOW STARTS SPIDAR MAN… Bartlett Tree Experts show up and completely cover my (newly refinished) floors. Three guys. They start tossing long ropes up into the trees (there own web, of sorts). Pulling themselves up on pulleys or otherwise. They are 5 stories off the ground, throwing ropes around branches, cutting the branches, catching them just as they fall to the ground. They were obviously having a goodtime because all my neighbors were hanging out of their windows watching them and cheering them on. Nicest guys. They obviously love their work. They said they even go to tree trimming competitions around the country. Who knew there was such a thing. Absolutely talented guys. THEY REMOVED APPROX EIGHT HUGE PLASTIC CONTAINERS (EACH ABOUT FOUR FEET HIGH) of cut up tree branches and dirt and snow and ice from my garden (which had a foot of snow and ice). I DID NOT EVEN HAVE TO SWEEP MY FLOOR! They were so perfect in removing everything without any dirt, water, etc. Because it was winter and snow, Mr. King had the workers come back today and remove the twigs that they could not remove until now due to the spring rain. I wish the rest of the country ran businesses this way!
