Bartlett Tree Experts Acquires Waterworks Irrigation

Company brings new line of water management services to Cape Cod-area customers.

OSTERVILLE, Mass. – The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Co. is continuing its acquisition trend with the purchase of Cape Cod, Mass.-area business. But unlike the other acquisitions Bartlett has made this year, the newest addition to the Bartlett family is Waterworks Irrigation, Osterville, Mass. Through this acquisition, Bartlett will add design, installation and maintenance of watering and sprinkler systems to its tree and shrub care services in the Cape Cod area.

Since many landscape problems can begin with poor soil conditions, combining water management with tree care provides customers a more comprehensive solution for maintenance of their lawn and plantings, the company explains.

 

“We’re continually looking for new ways to help property owners keep their landscapes healthy and water management is an ideal complement to our existing services,” says Greg Daniels, president of Bartlett Tree Experts. “Now customers on Cape Cod can benefit from high quality tree and shrub care as well as the irrigation needed to keep those plantings healthy – all from one source.”

 

The Waterworks staff is joining Bartlett where they will continue to serve the needs of local home and business owners. Customers will benefit from continuity of service from people who are already familiar with their property as well as access to a full range of water management and landscape care to help beautify their properties.

 

“We’ve been working with Paul Merlesena and the Waterworks staff for a number of years and have seen firsthand how their solutions help maintain healthy landscapes,” Daniels says. “We’re excited to have them join us and are looking forward to bringing this new service to customers.”

 

While Daniels notes that Bartlett has no immediate plans to extend irrigation services beyond the Cape Cod market, this arrangement afford the company the opportunity to evaluate its ability to provide water management services. “If we find that customers embrace this new offering, we may consider adding these services in other areas that we operate,” he says, adding that any acquisitions of tree care or other services will continue to operate under the Bartlett brand and management of the company’s executive staff.
