Scientific tree care since 1907
Bartlett Tree Experts is a fourth generation, family-owned business founded by Francis A. Bartlett in 1907 and is the world's leading scientific tree and shrub care company.
Global reach, local touch
With over 125 offices worldwide, Bartlett has been a family-owned leader in tree care for generations. Founded by Francis A. Bartlett and expanded under the leadership of Robert A. Bartlett Sr. and Robert A. Bartlett Jr., the company remains dedicated to helping residential and commercial customers maintain beautiful, healthy trees. Today, members of the fourth generation continue this legacy while Bartlett develops environmentally sound products and promotes sustainable tree care. Through the Bartlett Legacy Tree Program, the company provides tree seedlings for reforestation and educates communities on proper tree care.
We have at our disposal a fully equipped diagnostic laboratory with molecular testing capabilities, an extensive reference library, an education center, an arboretum containing over 15,000 accessioned plants, numerous working test plots, and even a bird sanctuary. The Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories is capable of evaluating plant samples, culturing and identifying disease-causing organisms, identifying insects, and performing complete soil analysis services. Staffed with scientists in fields such as plant pathology, entomology, and horticulture, the laboratories advise our arborists on the latest advances in arboriculture for the benefit of our clients. Each year the clinic receives more than 7,000 plant samples for analysis for insect pests, diseases, and cultural and environmental problems. Over 12,000 soil samples are processed from our clients' properties annually.
Our mission statement
Francis A. Bartlett's fundamental purpose for establishing the company that bears his name was to provide quality care and good value to owners and managers of landscape trees and shrubs by means of a basic, four-step plan:
→Evaluate plant health, safety and appearance by means of a systematic and thorough inspection, or series of inspections.
→Make an accurate, scientific diagnosis of plant problems and assess current and future plant requirements.
→Provide a full range of necessary remedial treatments.
→Design, create, and implement innovative, effective, long-term preventive care and maintenance programs.
Bartlett employees shall carry out their responsibilities with full honesty, integrity, and fairness, will strive for complete dependability, and will communicate openly with clients, prospects, employees, and the general public on matters involving our actions or intentions.
We are committed to providing scientifically based landscape management recommendations, delivering quality service, safely and at a level that meets or exceeds industry standards. We strive to achieve total client satisfaction.
Although our founder laid out his mission many years ago, we have found no reason to modify it over the decades that it has been in use. We enthusiastically support our founder's original purpose today, under the third generation of Bartlett family management.
