Bartlett Tree Experts, No. 6 on the 2024 LM150 list, expanded in Tennessee with the acquisition of Timberline Tree and Lawn Care, resulting in a new office in Memphis.
Timberline was founded by Scott Woods in 1999. For more than 25 years, the Memphis-based company has provided tree care to customers throughout Tennessee. Woods was looking for the best ways to further expand their services to Lawrence, Shelby, McCraken, Fayette, Dyer and Mississippi counties and found the right fit in Bartlett Tree Experts.
“With the support of the research lab and as a leader in the industry for over 117 years, [Bartlett’s] customers can rely on local attention from highly skilled arborists and a commitment to service and safety,” Woods said.
Woods joins Bartlett’s new office in Memphis as an arborist representative, along with eight employees including arborist representative John Storley and a production team of plant health care specialists, arborist groundspersons and arborist climbers.
The new Memphis office adds to Bartlett’s growing presence in Tennessee, which also includes locations in Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Johnson City.
Jim Ingram, president and COO said, “We see tremendous opportunities for growth in Memphis and throughout Tennessee with its deep history, abundant spaces for outdoor recreation and beautiful trees. We want to be a partner in this growth with our focus on scientific tree care to keep Memphis’ trees and landscapes healthy.”
With the addition of Bartlett’s newest office location in Tennessee, local property owners in the Memphis area will benefit from the scientific plant health care services that Bartlett provides, along with the diagnostic support of the Bartlett Tree Research laboratories.
Rob Allen, division manager and vice president for Bartlett’s Virginia and Tennessee operations, said opening the new Memphis office will enable Bartlett crews from existing Tennessee offices to support each other as needed, fostering further growth.
“It is exciting to open our fifth Tennessee office considering that a year ago, we had two offices in the state. Expanding Bartlett’s scientific plant health care services for Memphis’ residential and commercial property owners will go a long way toward improving the health and beauty of their trees and landscapes,” Allen added.
