About Bryan Bartz
Tree service built around the moment homeowners get stuck.
Bryan Bartz runs Easy Tree Service, LLC out of Lakeville, Minnesota, with certified arborists on the crew and a 4.9-star record across 677 Google reviews. The work is ordinary and specific: removals, trimming, stump grinding, storm cleanup, and plant health care including emerald ash borer treatment.
TreeCheck exists for the moment before any of that, looking at a tree and wondering whether it can wait, needs trimming, should come down, or needs a closer look before the next storm.

The starting point
Why TreeCheck exists
TreeCheck was created to make that first step easier. Instead of starting with a blank quote request, homeowners can send photos, describe what changed, and share what the tree is close to. That gives the conversation a better starting point.
Photos first
A wide shot, a close shot of the problem, and one showing what stands nearby.
Context second
What changed recently, how long it has been that way, and how urgent it feels.
Direction third
A likely service path so the first phone call is about the plan, not the basics.
What Bryan helps with
Six services cover nearly every reason a homeowner reaches out about a tree.

How we operate
We're building a company around process, not just equipment.
Easy Tree isn't trying to be the biggest tree company. We're trying to be the most organized. The Easy Tree Standard is our operating philosophy: organize the equipment, control the work area, standardize the procedures, and keep improving after every job.
- Sort
Bring what belongs. Remove what doesn't.
Equipment and tools are intentionally selected instead of hauled along by habit.
Why it matters to you: Less clutter means less confusion and fewer unnecessary obstacles around your property.
- Set in Order
Everything has a place.
Saws, ropes, rigging, fuel, hand tools, and first aid equipment have locations.
Why it matters to you: Crews spend less time searching for equipment and the work area stays more predictable.
- Shine
A clean workspace is part of the job.
Trucks, tools, and work areas are maintained while the work is happening.
Why it matters to you: Professional work should look professional while it's happening, not just after everyone leaves.
- Standardize
The process shouldn't change depending on who shows up.
Truck organization, equipment placement, jobsite procedures, and crew expectations are standardized wherever practical.
Why it matters to you: You get a more consistent experience from Easy Tree instead of relying entirely on individual habits.
- Sustain
Standards only matter if they're followed.
Checklists, crew expectations, accountability, and continuous improvement keep the system repeatable.
Why it matters to you: Important details are less likely to be forgotten simply because the crew is busy.
