Everybody says it. Almost nobody has it.
Many tree services are running on a driver's license and truck insurance — which covers none of the risks on your property. We carry a real California contractor's license, workers' comp on every crew member, and full general liability for personal and property damage. We can even name you as additional insured on our policy for your job.

About Us
Meet the Andersons
A family-run business built on 35 years of passion, hard work, and dedication to the Merced community.
The Anderson Story
At Anderson Tree Service, we are proud locals dedicated to serving the Merced, CA community and beyond. Ken, along with our professional team, has been enhancing the beauty and health of our surroundings for over 35 years.
Ken started in the tree service business in 1991 with a previous partner, then later broke off to get his own license, driven by a lifelong passion for tree work. His deep love for the craft and commitment to excellence has built a reputation for quality and reliability through the community far and wide.
From the beginning, Ken and his team have focused on delivering personalized, expert services that truly benefit our community. Today, along with his wife Harmony and their three kids, the Andersons continue their dedication to preserving and improving the natural beauty of Merced and surrounding areas.
“Making the Central Valley a better place, one tree at a time.”
Breakfast? Safety first.
Ken doesn't clock out — he just changes locations. Scrambled eggs in full PPE? That's not a joke, that's commitment. Three decades of showing up early, staying late, and never cutting corners (just trees). The helmet stays on because the next call could come any minute.
