Peiyu5/5
Trevor and his team are very professional, from the beginning to the end, they did a beautiful work. In addition, compared to the others, they gave us the best price and very smooth and easy communication! I really appreciate all their hard work and will let my friends / neighbors know if they need tree service they can trust the Branch.

Very good company with excellent skills and service. Will 100% recommend. Very reasonable price to cut an 80 year old elm tree. Did a great job!

Matthew5/5
Trevor is a true arborist and really knows what he’s doing. He and his crew that he works closely with are all incredibly conscientious - with your trees, your home, and your neighbors. I have a wide range of trees that he’s taken perfect care of for years now, and we’re so grateful for him!

Earl5/5
I found The Branch through a referral from a neighbor. I had a group of privacy trees I let go about 15ft too high. It was easy setting up an appointment and the guys came out on time as scheduled. The crew was professional and the work was properly contained. When done trimming, everything was cleaned up and hauled. Trees look great! I’ll for sure work with them next year.

Jennifer5/5
It was really important to us to work with someone who was a certified arborist when dealing with our Chinese Elm tree. The Branch was the best choice for us, based on their competitive pricing, knowledge, and expertise. They gave our tree a much-needed trim and a beautiful shape. Looking forward to working with them again in the future.

Amanda5/5
The Branch far exceeded my expectations. Their pricing is competitive and fair, they communicated clearly throughout the entire process, and the team arrived on time and got the job done quickly. They worked safely, left the property spotless, and removed the tree without any issues. Great service from beginning to end. I would definitely use them again.

Andrew5/5
I've been using The Branch for over five years and have always had an excellent experience. Trevor and his team are reliable, professional, and consistently do an outstanding job pruning and maintaining our trees. Trevor is incredibly knowledgeable and has given me valuable advice over the years on how to improve the health of a few trees that were having issues. He and his team take pride in their work and always leave the property clean when the job is done.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Branch to anyone looking for a high-quality tree service.

Thank you, Jay, for trusting us with your tree service needs. We really appreciate you!
Sm5/5
We have hired The Branch for several years now to trim all our palms, trees and bamboo. We live in a dense community where space is at a premium and use foliage as a “privacy screen”. Obviously, this creates a challenge when trying to keep our landscape in order. Trevor and his team are experts in keeping everything trimmed up without sacrificing our privacy. We have a very challenging reclinata palm that requires expertise to trim. Every year they fulfill our expectations with professionalism. Trevor is truly knowledgeable in this field. The Branch team are always on time, reasonably priced and clean up after themselves. I would not hesitate to hire them for any of your landscape needs.
