Bartlett Tree Experts, specializing in residential and commercial tree and shrub care, has joined the Premier Level Member (PLM) network of field-based landscape assessors developed by Horticultural Asset Management, Inc. (HMI).
Bartlett’s Arborist Representatives will conduct landscape assessments on residential and commercial properties to determine the types, sizes and condition of the woody trees and shrubs. From this data HMI’s system will establish the replacement cost valuation of each plant assessed on the property.
In addition, Bartlett and other PLMs will provide property owners with risk mitigation services, repair and even tree replacement services as needed. The network consists of both national and local green industry suppliers who meet rigorous standards.
“Bartlett prides itself on providing knowledgeable customers with high value tree care services,” says Bartlett’s president, Greg Daniels. “We are very excited about being a part of HMI’s PLM network because we believe the products HMI is supporting will further consumers’ awareness of the value of their landscape and the need for high quality tree care and risk management plans. We feel HMI’s products have great promise for the entire industry.”
HMI’s system establishes replacement values for an entire landscape as well as for individual plants. These replacement values can be used to establish insurance coverage requirements, help determine casualty loss values, and to support the asking price of a landscaped property during a real estate transaction. HMI also provides its customers with a Dr. Michael Dirr Plant Guide describing each assessed plant and offering customized care and maintenance information.
“The Premier Level Member network is a critical component of our comprehensive plan to support insurance, casualty loss, and valuation services for all residential and commercial property owners,” says HMI COO Doug Cowles. “We are thrilled to have one of the country’s leading green industry service providers, Bartlett Tree Experts, in our PLM network.”
PLM members receive work referrals and customized covers and discounted pricing on HMI’s property-specific landscape owner’s manual, the HMI Horticultural Assessment.
