Los Angeles and the surrounding hills face high temperatures, dryness, and high winds, and summer poses an especially high threat. Most wildfires begin on overgrown ground where dead branches, weeds, dry bushes, and leaves act as highly flammable fuel. Clearing that debris is one of the most effective ways to protect life and property.
There are many licensed arborists in the LA area. Here’s what’s earned us an excellent reputation, even among our competitors, for more than forty years.
Founder Dana Anderson started as a climber in 1975, learning proper pruning and safe removals before opening Anderson Tree Experts in 1980. He built a loyal customer base one tree at a time, and continued his arboriculture studies at Citrus College.
Colette Anderson runs the office, so you reach a friendly, knowledgeable person. Randy Williams has helped lead the crew and meet with clients since 1998, and lead climber Daniel Vázquez has artfully pruned and safely removed trees for us since 1999.
We’re members of the International Society of Arboriculture and approved arborists for Glendale and La Cañada, with pride in proper pruning practices and compliance with city and fire ordinances.
