Bartlett Tree Experts

Bartlett Tree Experts handles tree service work out of Southlake, Texas. The company takes on removals of large trees like Bradford pears and red oaks, stump grinding, pruning to improve canopy shape and light, and treatments to address problems in mature oaks and post oaks. Arborists such as Michael Smith, Cameron, Kyle Ables, Sean Fenton, and Jeremy Patterson handle consultations, assessments, and plans that focus on keeping trees healthy rather than removing them when possible. Crews execute the work with equipment suited for tall trees near houses and driveways.

Customers describe jobs that include taking down dying or storm-damaged trees, grinding stumps after the fact, shaping high oaks to let more sun reach the lawn, and applying treatments after diagnosis. Michael Smith has advised on salvaging live oaks after storms and shown proper cutting techniques. Cameron has assessed multiple trees at risk and set up follow-up plans that left them healthy a year later. Kyle Ables directed precise removals of distressed red oaks next to homes while pruning others. Sean Fenton diagnosed issues and laid out treatment steps that technicians carried out. Jeremy Patterson has recommended removals or pruning with explanations on why each step fits the tree.

The crews show up on time, finish in one day when the estimate is accepted, and leave the site cleaner than they found it with no debris on driveways or grass. Pricing comes in reasonable and often lower than expected, with fair quotes given quickly after visits. Response can be fast, with some estimates turned around in a couple of hours and work completed the same day. Service reaches areas like Arlington, and crews communicate plans clearly without pushing extra work. One case needed a follow-up call to finish stump grinding after a delay, but the issue was addressed the next day.

Reviewers note the crews as professional, efficient, and courteous across dozens of jobs, with strong marks for cleanup, tree health results, and honest advice on what needs doing. Google shows 4.8 from 74 reviews. DIRT Score 4.5 from N reviews on Finds.

“The crew removed a 20+ year old large Bradford Pear tree on a very hot day which took them several hours. Were very courteous and completed the job without any damage to property, so I gave them a cash tip.”

“Michael Smith and his crew at Bartlett Tree Experts provided excellent service with the treatment of our trees and the removal of one tree. We could not be more pleased with our experience from the consultation with Michael to the treatment and the well organized removal of one tree. They were all very professional, experienced and worked efficiently together removing the tree. Everyone was so kind and considerate and we were so glad we chose Bartlett Tree Experts.”

“Bartlett outshine them all! I've worked with many, many tree services and so-called arborist in the past when removing and stump grinding trees in my yard and none of them compare with the service, support and pricing I've received from Bartlett. They are the only tree experts I will ever use.”

“The men were knowledgeable and highly skilled! They did a great job of grooming my very mature..and high Oak tree 🌳. Created beautiful canopy allowing sunlight onto lawn.”

“Fantastic job! The crew was professional, efficient, and courteous from the estimate to the final cleanup. Great price for excellent work. I would highly recommend Bartlett to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and affordable tree care.”

“Cameron was extremely professional and helpful with the care of our trees. We've been putting it off because we were worried that the trees would get destroyed or mangled, but the team chopped them up right! They look great, the overall shape is the same, just looks like they got a haircut; the goals were all met of protecting the house and driveway, the grass is getting more light and they seriously left it cleaner than when they arrived. Pricing was good too, we were expecting a good bit more than what it actually cost.”

“We've had Kyle Ables come out several times for different reasons, and we trust his opinion completely. He never pushes for unnecessary work, and when we did decide to proceed with pruning our trees he got us a quote right away. The work crew was very professional, and they did a great job as well.”

“I am very satisfied with Bartlett Tree Experts! It’s nice to work with a tree company that is all about saving trees and not about cutting them down. My arborist, Sean Fenton, is very knowledgeable and was quickly able to diagnose my tree’s problem and recommend a treatment plan to save it. He spent a generous amount of time explaining everything to me. The technicians who came out to do the treatments were very professional and diligently preformed their work. I trust Bartlett to do what’s right for my tree and highly recommend this company.”

“Thank you, for the tree consolation! Cameron Scott helped bring peace of mind to a client of mine regarding some post oaks. He also recommended ways to keep the trees in the great shape they were in.”

“When we moved into our house last year there was a tree obviously dying. Cameron from Bartlett came and looked at that tree and determined it couldn’t be saved but he also noted several others were at risk. He gave us a plan of things, some for us to do others that he would do. A year later our trees are healthy and doing well! Wry happy with the service.”

“WONDERFUL SERVICE. Very helpful and took the whole tree down and cleaned all up. Glad I chose this company. Friendly people and very reasonable price (i shopped around). Will use again!”

“Update: Updating from 1 star to 3 stars. After we left this review and filled out their survey, Jeremy reached out and a crew showed up the very next day to grind the stump. He also apologized, which we appreciated. Original Review: We are still waiting for the 2nd half of our tree removal (stump grinding). It's been over a month since the 1st part was completed, and Jeremy has been completely unresponsive to both phone calls and emails. The office has told us they would come last Friday and nobody showed up. We have not heard anything from the office since. Pretty poor service. We would not recommend them for your tree service.”

“Have used them for years. One time they came out right after a storm and advised us on whether we could salvage a live oak that had lost a big branch. Michael Smith was watching my 10-year-old son clear some of the more manageable pieces and spent time with him showing him the right way to cut and use his saw. Genuinely good and honest people! Fair prices (not cheap). And experts at making sure trees are healthy and there for a long time. Do not use anyone who just swings by and offers their services. Tree trimming is a science, so call on real pros.”

“Michael and his crew always do a great job trimming our trees. We’ve had them back several years now. Highly recommend!!”

“Highly recommend the crew and arborist, they are very knowledgeable, highly skilled, professional and courteous. The Martin and Martin Crew were top notch at taken down a 50 foot plus tall red oak tree in extreme distress that was next to my house and pruned the other two trees of the same size with perfect precision. the Arborist, Kyle, directed the assessment of the needs for each tree and identified the tree maintenance plan for each tree, and the Crew, Martin and Martin executed the plan to perfection. I am very glad I choose the Southlake TX Barlett Tree Experts for my tree removal and tree maintenance.”

“I've used Alpine Tree Service twice this year and been very happy with both experiences. In each event, Jeremy arrived within a couple of hours after I requested an estimate. Both times I accepted the estimate and the work was completed the same day. The workmen cleaned up the site better than tree services I've used in the past. No debris was left behind and the driveway areas were swept clean. Since the second experience I've recommended Alpine Tree Service to two friends and will recommend Alpine again if asked to give a referral. This is a company that provides great customer service at an affordable price.”

“We have used Bartlett Tree Service (formerly Alpine) twice & had great results both times. They have removed a total of seven tall trees from our back yard & also performed pruning. Arborist, Jeremy Patterson, gives great advice on how & why the trees should be removed or pruned. The crews have cut the logs to the requested length & stacked the firewood. They also clean up very well after their work is complete. They have also ground stumps after tree removal. Highly recommend this company.”

“I've used Alpine for several years and they've always given excellent advice. Their superior knowledge has helped in making great decisions without any pressure. They've clearly communicate what they will do and complete the work with great follow up. Their crews are dressed professionaly and leave the property clean. I share my experiences with friends and family suggesting they use Alpine Tree Services if they want it done right.”

“Highly recommended. Several limbs from two large oak trees were rubbing against my roof. Wesley Rivers gave me a detailed and fair estimate. The crew of three men who did the work were all professional, courteous, and professional. They arrived on time, did a great job, and cleaned up after themselves.”

“After the straight line wind we had in Arlington recently, I immediately called Alpine for a partial downed tree. Over the years I have always used Alpine to tend too and remove problem trees. I have always found them to be most professional and thorough. This time was the same. Michael was the arborist who came out. Since I have lots of trees I asked him to look at trimming all the tees and removal of mistletoe build up on one odd tree. I have a number of large oak trees and a couple of other types. I agreed to the appointment and Michael came out with the usual great team of workers and professional equipment. They did a wonderful job, putting in a full day. Many of my neighbors had trees down and fell for the cheap guy with a truck and a chainsaw. Their experience was not good. The risk of injury and lawsuits is to high for using a cheap non professional. You can't go wrong with Alpine.”
