“We are excited to grow our business in northeastern New Jersey with the acquisition of Ramapo Tree and Shrub Care; a quality company that shares our passion for trees,” said Jim Ingram, president and chief operating officer of Bartlett Tree Experts. “As we continue to grow strategically in key markets, property owners of Bergen County in the Garden State will benefit from the unmatched scientific plant health care services that Bartlett provides, along with the diagnostic support of the R.A.

The owner of Ramapo Tree and Shrub Care, Colin Milde, is a Board-Certified Master Arborist (BCMA) with ISA who has been in the tree care business for over 40 years. In addition to being a respected Master Arborist in the state, Milde is a New Jersey Licensed Tree Expert, Registered Consulting Arborist with ASCA, Certified Tree Care Safety Professional with TCIA, and a Pesticide Applicator for turf and lawn. Milde began his career in arboriculture as a climber. He launched Ramapo Tree and Shrub Care with his wife, Christie, in 2000.
With the acquisition, Milde has joined Bartlett’s local office in Waldwick, New Jersey as an Arborist Representative, along with his team of Plant Health Care Specialists, Arborist Climbers, and grounds crew members.
In making the decision to join Bartlett for a greater range of scientific tree and shrub services in Bergen, Morris and Essex counties, Milde found the ideal cultural fit. He was impressed with Bartlett’s dedication to quality work and customer satisfaction.
