"The services performed went as smooth as expected. Mike was able to trim our biggest tree and remove an entire evergreen that had been exposed to bag worms. The work was quick and efficient and I would highly recommend him to anyone. We will definitely utilize his expertise in the future."

"We hired Anointed Power after a sewer flood caused major damage inside of our home; Donald Moore and his crew came in fast, professional and handled all the repairs. During the times Donald had to step away his crew interacted with our family with complete professionalism. Donald helped us with several issues concerning our Insurance Coverage and even took the time to meet with US Bank when they came to inspect the work he completed. Our home looks wonderful! New paint; new cabinets and fresh new carpet; all completed two weeks prior to our agreed upon deadline. Donald Moore fought my Insurance company's scope of work and showed them why I needed my whole carpet replaced; I would not have been able to convince State Farm with out his professional view and input. He did such a good job on the inside we had him build us a new deck in front;; he even re varnished my back deck to match the new one he installed! I would recommend this company to anyone; hell even my Insurance Adjuster took his card after seeing the quality work he and his crew completed. Thank You Anointed Power; your name speaks for its self and your actions back that name up!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.
