Bartlett Tree Experts,
which was founded in 1907, is one of the world's largest tree preservation firms. Bartlett is one of five companies in Georgia accredited by the Tree Care Industry Association, and it is the only one employing three ISA Board Certified Master Arborists. In addition, Bartlett has an ISA-certified arborist on every crew. Bartlett does not emphasize tree removal; instead, it specializes in scientific tree care and offers pruning, cabling, lightning protection, insect/disease management, hazard tree evaluation, soil management, and root invigoration. According to Steve Johnston, Southeast Division Manager, "The scientists at the Bartlett research facility in Charlotte, NC, provide us with advanced diagnostic lab support to help us preserve and protect Atlanta's trees. They have even patented their own root invigoration process to aid in the survival of mature trees." Bartlett strives to hire and train the highest-quality employees. The company carries workers' compensation and liability insurance. Steve summarizes, "Having been in business for more than 100 years, our goal is not to just do one job; instead, with our yearly inspections, we want to make you a long-term client."
