Bartlett Tree acquires Timberline in Memphis

Bartlett Tree Experts has 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 and has provided tree care to customers throughout Tennessee for the last 25 years. 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 says.

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. 

“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," says Jim Ingram, president and chief operating officer. 

“It is exciting to open our fifth Tennessee office considering that a year ago, we had two offices in the state," says Rob Allen, division manager and vice president for Bartlett's Virginia and Tennessee operations. "Expanding Bartlett’s scientific plant health care services for Memphis’s residential and commercial property owners will go a long way toward improving the health and beauty of their trees and landscapes.”
