Tree Pruning San Jose



Have you been?

Blackberry Farms


Blackberry farms in Cupertino is a beautiful place to walk, take the family, there is a pool w/slides for the kids and play structures all around.  

To maintain this beautiful park, it takes a skilled team of arborists and attention to detail to ensure you and your family is safe.  We most recently were out there and were able to prune a eucalyptus tree that had over grown and was taking over the park and becoming very unsafe for the children that would be playing on the structure below.  We sent a crew of eight guys and were able to get the job done and cleaned up with out any problems.  We will be back on this site to remove a tree as well.  There is nothing more dangerous then a tree that has rotted out and has died.  This tree is next to a popular walking path and if it were to fall, this would be bad news.  We are looking forward to going back to this site and taking out the tree to ensure the safety of everyone.

With the work being completed on this beautiful location in the city of Cupertino, we want to take this time to point out to you that there is no job too small or too big we cant't handle.  We are passionate individuals and love our work.  To find out more about Tree Pruning, or Tree Removals and the other services offered, please click the links, or visit our home page here.

We look forward to working with you soon and you all have a wonderful rest of your week.  And remember, if you are concerned about one of the trees on your property or the overgrowth of a tree could do damage to your property, you are probably 99% correct.  So please don't hesitate to give us a call anytime at (408) 226-8733.

Tree Planting San Jose


Plant a tree and reap the benefits.

Top ten reasons!

  1. Tree's combat climate change:  Trees absorb CO2, removing and storing the carbon while releasing the oxygen back into the air. In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the amount of CO2 produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles.
  2. Tree's clean the air: Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark.
  3. Tree's beautify your property: They are not only beautiful to have in your yard, but they are also wonderful shade providers on a hot summer day.
  4. Tree's save water: Shade from tree's slow water evaporation from thirsty lawns.
  5. Mental Health: There is something powerful about trees that can change your mood when you are down.  So take a walk and reap the benefits of the tree's.
  6. Provides privacy: Tree's are a great way to keep those peepin tom's from seeing in while you eat your dinner.
  7. Reduces your carbon foot print.
  8. Tree's mark the seasons: Pretty cool I think.  You know when it's winter, spring and summer.
  9. Home for the birds: Enough said!
  10. Why not?: Tree's are the way of life and we need them.  So plant now!

We all hope you had a great 3 day weekend, but back to business we go.

It is that time of year again where we need to start paying attention to our tree's and make sure that they are Pruned.  I am definitely amazed at the weather and the major storms we seem to get, that hit us with everything it's got.

    Tree Pest Control in San Jose



    The month of January is coming to a close, but do you know what isn't?  "PESTS"

    That's right, those pesky little pests will continue to live on and further destruction of your trees.

    Here are a few common pests you might want to be concerned about:

    • Asian Long Horned Beetle (ALB): The adult will lay eggs in an opening in the bark.  Then the larvae will bore large galleries deep into the wood which in thus are feeding galleries which through time will disrupt the vascular functioning of the tree and in return weaken the tree to the point of it literally falling apart and dying.



    • Emerald Ash Borer (EAB): This destructive beetle was identified as the cause of "ASH TREE" decline and mortality in Detroit.  Detroit you say, yep' they have officially arrived in California.  Better to be safer then sorry!



    • Balsam Woolly Adelgid: The adults inject a substance that affects hormonal response of tree.  Can cause irregular outer rings, gouting around buds and branch nodes, stunted terminal growth, reduced cone and seed production and so forth and so on...  You get the picture! 



    • Winter Moth: Well, it's all in the name.  These guys absolutely love to chew up all of the delicious leaves on the tree and can do significant damage in the winter leading into spring.  They primarily love the leaves on trees that produce fruits such as apple, pear and cherry trees.


    So if you don't want these pests in your backyard, act now!

    Our methods include:
    • Altering Irrigation
    • Pruning
    • Planting Depth
    • Changing or addressing mulch issues
    • Spraying or applying plant treatments


    Our goal is to keep your trees and shrubs healthy. Anderson's even has the necessary equipment to reach the tops of large trees to provide treatment. Our licensed applicators use sprays, pesticides and organic treatments when applicable to effectively treat a wide variety of pests including mites, gypsy moths, Emerald Ash Borer, deer ticks, winter moth and other types of intrusive insects that can harm your trees and shrubs.

    Tree Inventory San Jose



    Happy New Years from all of us at Anderson's Tree Care.

    Winter is still among us and as you know the weather has been fierce lately rather it be flooding from the big storm we had a couple weeks back, or the wind storm that blew strong and hard all throughout the bay area knocking down trees and power lines and so forth... So let's start 2015 right and make sure you know what trees are strong and healthy, where they are at and the condition they are in.

    Our Process:

    A tree inventory is the gathering of accurate information on the health and diversity of the trees on the property. How many street trees are there? What kind? In what condition are they? You cannot manage the properties tree population effectively unless you know its condition. Tree inventories are an essential tool of good management.
    Increase efficiency with a tree inventory by Anderson's Tree Care Specialists. A complete tree, street or forest inventory will help you manage the trees in your care, increase the productivity of crews that work with them, and make short-term budgeting and long-term planning much easier.


    Anderson's can help you create a tree inventory that includes the following information about the trees on your property or in your community:
    • Quantities
    • Locations
    • Approximate ages
    • Species
    • Diameter
    • Site Characteristics
    • Damage
    • Special Conditions
    • Recommendations for maintenance or treatments required to maintain health

    We can also help you keep your tree inventory information current with periodic evaluations and updates. If the number of trees in your care is so large that individual inventory is cost-prohibitive, we can create a sample tree inventory to help accurately estimate your needs.


    Our Tree Inventory Management Guarantee

    Anderson's Tree Care Specialists offers a custom approach to residential and commercial tree inventory services that is guaranteed to match your needs and budget. Our skilled, insured large tree inventory management professionals guarantee that your job will be done safely.

    Tree Removal in San Jose


    The holidays are among us and so are the storms.  Don't let a tree ruin your holiday plans.  It is important to maintain but also make sure that your tree's can withstand what ever weather is thrown at us.  In this case, the "Pineapple Express" that is still rolling through San Jose has packed a punch with winds up to 30-45 mph and floods that have softened the soil have uprooted a lot of tree's.  So with all of this said, don't let that large tree ruin your day. 


    But wait, having a tree come down is probably the worst case scenario, so you may be asking yourself what should I do now with the storms among us?  Well the answer is simple, call us and we will send one of our tree experts out to assess your tree's and recommend precise pruning that will minimize potential damage to your home, car and property.  Having your tree's pruned is an important step in maintaining your property and can save you thousands of dollars in damage when the winds gust take control of that rotten branch and conveniently drops it onto your car which in return calls for a really bad day.  That's why here at Anderson's attention to detail is what makes us stand out above all other company's and we know that though the weather can be unpredictable at times our work is not.  We are here for you, and we will weather this storm together.

    From all of us here at Anderson's, we would like to wish you a safe and wonderful holiday season.  Stay dry! and watch out for those tree's! ;)

    Tree Planting Services San Jose

    Our Process of Planting or Relocating a Large Tree

    Anderson's Tree Care Specialists can provide advice on the relocation of trees of all sizes for proper installation guidelines to new locations. One example shown to the right was a 40ft palm tree that was relocated. If it can't be done we'll let you know. In most situations it's usually a matter of expense, especially for large trees. The bigger the tree the more it costs to move it.

    Utilizing over 20 years of relocating and planting experience, our crews control the critical variables associated with a successful tree planting/relocation including, soil analysis, staking, correct fertilizing and planting height. A tree planted and cared for correctly will thrive. Those that are not, can suffer stress, reduced growth rate and ultimately fail.

    After working carefully to understand the individual planting sites and requirements of our customers, Anderson's dispatches crews to install recently purchased trees. Most of our customers choose this option for two main reasons:


    • Trees and their root balls can be extremely heavy. Once the tree trunk diameter increases, the root ball weight increases exponentially and can weigh 1000 lbs or more. Our crews carefully use special techniques and equipment to handle the trees while loading, transporting, unloading and getting them installed correctly.

    • All trees purchased by Anderson's and installed by our crews are covered by a 1-year warranty. Anytime questions arise about installed trees, our office staff is ready to help and if necessary, dispatch our Certified Arborist to your site.
