The Branch has been my arborist for years. Trevor is the best. He is very knowledgeable about the trees and plants, takes special care when trimming to ensure the outcome is attractive and healthy for the trees. He and his crew work very efficiently and clean up is spotless. I just had them address a monster hedge that I was neglecting and they transformed it in a couple of hours. The best.
The Branch tree services are excellent. They a professional and make quick work of tree removal projects, or planting. Trevor and his team worked with me and have provided advice on how to best address my requirements. I have called them several times to trim, cut, and plant trees. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend The Branch. They did a great job trimming and shaping an Arbutus, several Pacific Wax Myrtles and a Peppermint tree. Trevor was careful in considering not only the aesthetics but also, and most importantly, the health of the tree. The team was efficient and cleaned up all branches and debris. Beautiful job!
Excellent service! They did a perfect job cutting down 5 huge trees right next to my house. Very professional! I highly recommend
I used The Branch to remove a large tree from our backyard a few years ago and was impressed with their service . . . so . . . I recently asked them to trim a couple of large Carrotwood trees in the front yard. Trevor & Derek showed up promptly at the appointed time and completed trimming, thinning, and shaping our trees within a short period of time. They cleaned up the yard and, once again, I was very impressed with their work. I highly recommend them.
