Taking care of trees, it's easy if you happen to be a certified trained arborist.

00:04
It's not a job for amateurs. Trees are the most valuable plants on your property

00:09
and the arborists at Bartlett Tree Experts know just what they need.

00:13
You can get a lot of people to work on your trees, but that work really needs to be based in science.

00:18
So much of the tree care that we see is actually harmful to the trees.

00:22
For over a hundred years, Bartlett has been literally on the cutting edge of tree and shrub care.

00:27
It is an art and a science, from pruning and pest control to the soil and structure of your trees.

00:33
It's important to get an expert in to look at your trees.

00:37
A little bit of money spent as a good investment in your trees is far better than spending a lot of money doing some poor tree work that's just simply going to degrade the value of your property.

00:47
Keeping your trees healthy and beautiful can improve the value of your property by up to 20%.

Bartlett Tree Experts.

01:04
In Henry's garden, we know that trees are people too.

01:07
I mean, not literally, but like us, they are living and breathing and beautiful.

01:12
And here in the Bay Area, they come from all over the world.

01:15
The Bay Area is unique, Henry, in that we have a very temperate climate

01:18
and that allows a huge variety of trees to grow.

01:21
Each tree has its own requirements, you know, if we're looking at a jacaranda tree or some fruit trees.

01:26
Whether it's fertilizing or time of year pruning or even the watering requirements can be different.

01:31
Beautiful trees can enhance the value of a property by up to 20%.

01:36
Bartlett tree experts know how to keep them healthy and even extend their lives.

01:40
It's a significant wound with lots of decay associated with it.

01:44
Left unchecked, the tree can fail.

01:47
So I'd have to cut the tree down?

01:48
Actually, we could put a cable between the trunks to limit the movement of the tree and save it.

01:54
Thousands of Bay Area homeowners trust Bartlett, and now they are offering free home inspections.

01:59
Call 877-BARTLET or go to Bartlett.com.

02:08
When was the last time your trees got their annual physical?

02:11
Yep, just like us, trees need an annual checkup.

02:14
And just like us, you want an expert performing the exam.

02:17
Bartlett Tree Expert. I like to meet with the client and walk the property and

02:22
inspect the trees and I look from the ground to the top and I look for

02:26
problems like soil fertility, insect and disease issues, structural issues, any

02:31
problems those trees may have. Wow that sounds a bit expensive. Actually it's not

02:36
expensive at all we do it for free. That no obligation inspection with a Bartlett

02:40
Tree Expert gives you a chance to see your trees through an arborist's eyes.

02:45
Well, we need to look at the root color that is buried.

02:48
It needs to be exposed.

02:49
There's some defect here, a pocket of decay, and there is some dieback due to some cracking

02:55
that I just noticed here due to maybe disease or insect activity.

02:59
It's proven science-based care and treatment.

03:02

I'm Henry Tenenbaum with a free and easy piece of gardening advice.

03:17
Get your beautiful, valuable trees inspected now by an expert at no cost.

03:23
Trees like people need to have their checkups.

03:26
Conditions can change and you can have a real wet winter or a real dry winter that can affect

03:30
the health of the tree or the stability of the tree.

03:33
It's important to get an expert in to look at your trees and give you an estimate and

03:37
then evaluate that investment.

03:39
Bartlett has the expertise and equipment to keep your trees healthy and to spot those hidden problems before they become expensive problems.

03:48
For example,

03:48
So you can see here, Henry, how the tree comes down and the ground comes right up to the trunk.

03:52
Which is good.

03:53
Well, what can happen is that the soil holds moisture against the trunk.

03:57
And that can cause some decay that starts to settle into those major supporting weeds.

04:01
And that's the kind of problem that it takes an expert to spot, a Bartlett tree expert.

04:06
