Bartlett acquires central New Jersey’s Action Tree Service

Bartlett Tree Experts acquired Action Tree Service, Inc., and the company expands in central New Jersey. Owned and operated by Don Murphy and Bert Kuhn Action Tree, based in Warren, New Jersey, has provided tree and shrub care for residential and commercial customers in Somerset County and surrounding areas for more than 43 years.

“Property owners of Somerset County in the Garden State can now benefit from Bartlett’s global resources and industry-leading tree and shrub diagnostic and research capabilities,” said Jim Ingram, president and COO of Bartlett Tree Experts. “I am excited to welcome the talented arborist team from Action Tree to Bartlett Tree Experts!”

Kuhn said joining Bartlett in the company’s existing Lebanon, New Jersey office was a great move for Action Tree, given Bartlett’s industry-leading training and career development opportunities. Customers previously serviced by Action Tree will benefit from the scientific backing of the R.A. Bartlett Research Laboratories and Arboretum, which supports all Bartlett offices with the most advanced tree care solutions available. Kuhn said, “Our commitment to excellence aligns.”

“The acquisition of Action Tree Services will expand Bartlett’s scientific tree and shrub care for more of the Somerset County residential and commercial property owners, which will go a long way toward improving the health and beauty of their trees and landscapes,” said Wayne Dubin, vice president and division manager of Bartlett’s operations in New York and New Jersey.
