Bartlett Tree Experts expands in western Massachusetts

Bartlett Tree Experts has expanded in western Massachusetts with the acquisition of Race Mountain Tree Services, Inc.

Race Mountain was founded by Ron Yaple. For more than 35 years, Yaple’s business enjoyed an excellent reputation providing high quality, professional tree care to client landscapes throughout western Massachusetts, eastern New York, and northwestern Connecticut.

When he began to prepare for retirement, Yaple saw Bartlett Tree Experts as the best fit for his family business. With the acquisition, Bartlett gains four employees from Race Mountain, including Yaple’s sons, Keiran and Gavin. Race Mountain’s team of arborists will join Bartlett’s existing office in Sheffield, Massachusetts, which is managed by Greg Beck, an ISA Board Certified

Master Arborist Keiran Yaple joins the Bartlett team as a crew leader. Gavin Yaple joins as an arborist representative, handling the care of trees and landscapes for all of Race Mountain’s existing customers.

Said Ron Yaple, “Bartlett’s scientific approach to tree care will provide our local team of arborists with the ability to improve services for customers to maintain beautiful, healthy landscapes. The Bartlett arboricultural research laboratories support its offices in delivering the most advanced scientific tree care solutions available.”

Jim Ingram, president and COO of Bartlett Tree Experts said, “Adding resources in the western Massachusetts area assists us in providing our full range of scientific tree and shrub care services for our customers to maintain healthy, beautiful landscapes.”
