Highly recommended! Had a great experience and will be calling Ken again when we need more maintenance done. You can hear the passion when Ken talks about your yard and trees. Ken was honest and educational - he tells you what is NEEDED and suggests other things that would help - I never felt pressured to do more than what I felt comfortable with and within my budget. Thank you Ken!

Ken-the captain of Anchor Tree Service is lovely. His communication is clear, polite and prompt. He arrived and texted as requested. He and his team were friendly prompt and careful. The work was done and my trees are happy. Our waterlines were flagged and kept intact-smart no accidents. Ken freely shared his knowledge, was open to questions, and made great suggestions. He is full of smiles, welcoming and interactive. The team was efficient and great with our dogs. They ensured our dogs were tucked safely away and closed the gates securely-Super important. And my dogs loved them... another bonus. I love happy trees and my back yard is my magical oasis.. Ken trimmed my trees keeping the magic, some of which include unique tree shapes. We love it. When they were done.... it was like they were never here.. tidy clean and ready for relaxing. I've already booked my spring and fall tree work cuz this team is going to be super popular... Thanks Ken & Anchor Trees. I have a happy mushroom cedar, a perky raindrop laurel, old and young apples, and other random interesting ones...

These guys did an excellent job taking down five trees that formed a massive hedge in our garden. They were super friendly and professional, did exactly what they said they would do, quoted a very fair price and left the yard spotless. I really can’t recommend them enough. Whenever we need an arborist in the future, Ken will be the guy I call.

Ken and his team came and removed dead tree limbs and branches from four trees. Overall, I was very pleased with their work and tidiness.As an arborist, Ken has a lot of knowledge about various aspects of trees. He spends the time to answer questions and give suggestions. He was also accommodated a last minute request to trim some cedar hedges at no extra cost. I would highly recommend them and use them again.
