Bartlett Tree Experts

Bartlett Tree Experts in Beverly is the local office of a company Francis Bartlett founded in 1907, and the detail that keeps surfacing in its own Google reviews is how carefully the crews work around everything but the tree — clearing a 75-year-old pine without leaving a mark on the lawn, pruning five trees with handsaws instead of chainsaws to keep from setting foot on a neighbor's property. People call this crew for pruning, tree and shrub removal, and insect or disease treatment on mature or specimen trees, with ISA Certified Arborists behind the assessments. The 32 Google reviews on file run from 2022 to mid-2026, and named crew members show up again and again: Kyle V. and Colton on a large oak removal, Jacob Maynard diagnosing a stewartia tree's problem in a 2023 review, office staffer Dottie handling scheduling and calls. A homeowner's 1940s apple tree, on its last legs, came back after a prune-and-spray plan; another's yard stayed clean of debris after branch work near flowerbeds. One customer, in a 2024 review, describes hiring the crew to clear branches and open up light in a backyard — the job wasn't finished to the stated goal, and a follow-up call the next day was met with dismissiveness. Before calling: Bartlett's BBB profile is not accredited, and its A- grade there reflects one complaint the company didn't respond to on that platform — worth asking about if you'd want that channel available for a dispute. For pruning or removal work on a property with gardens, lawns, or a neighbor's yard nearby, the reviews point to a crew practiced at doing the job without collateral damage — confirm the scope of work in writing given the one account where it fell short.
