Bartlett Expands Canadian Presence

STAMFORD, Conn. – The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company Canada, a subsidiary of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company, announced that it has acquired the business operations of Bostock Tree Service. Bartlett Tree Experts, one of the world's largest tree and shrub care companies, has been providing a full range of services including pruning, soil analysis, pest and disease management, cabling and bracing and tree lightning protection, in Canada since 1997.

Under this agreement, Bartlett will expand its presence in Ontario, adding an office in metro Toronto to its existing location in Bracebridge. The company also provides services in British Columbia through its offices in Victoria and Vancouver.

“This acquisition represents our commitment to growth in the Canadian market,” said Greg Daniels, president of Bartlett Tree Experts. “Bostock’s excellent reputation and high standards of tree care will be a valuable asset to us as we serve customers in the Toronto area.”

To ensure a smooth transition for customers, Bostock’s executive leadership, including Bruce Bostock, David Bostock and David Starkey, as well as a majority of the company’s employees will remain in their roles. “By retaining Bruce and his staff, customers get the best of both worlds,” Daniels said, “continuity of service from people who already know their property and access to the global resources and scientific research facilities that Bartlett offers.”
