I had such a great experience with this tree cutting service. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and really knew what they were doing. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and made thoughtful recommendations that improved the overall look of my yard. The crew was punctual, friendly, and worked very carefully--especially around surrounding plants and structures. They cleaned everything up beautifully afterward, which I really appreciated. My trees look healthier, more balanced, and the whole space feels brighter and more open. It's not always easy to find people you can trust with your property, but this team absolutely delivered. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing tree trimming or removal. read more

Trevor and the Branch crew are great! We've called them out for several jobs including annual jacaranda and hedge trimming, tree removal, and they helped us source and plant a beautiful new magnolia. Trevor knows his trees! read more

We have used Trevor and the Branch for years. I did make a mistake and tried someone else one time, and I do mean mistake. The crew at the Branch never uses spikes to climb your trees. They don't ever go in and just start hacking limbs off any tree. They are true arborists and understand how to shape a tree to keep it healthy. And they are aware of any fragile plants under your tree and I have never had my plants damaged. (Unlike that one time I used someone else, I swear that guy stomped on stuff, and my palms still have spike scars) Use the guys who know what they are doing. And respect your landscaping. read more

Finally! Someone that knows their stuff. I just had a job completed and I am thrilled with the results. The Branch is a family run business and I worked with Trevor who is a certified arborist. He definitely knows his stuff and was identifying my fruit trees that are dormant! Very impressive. The crew did a beautiful job on my palms and fruit trees. I even learned a few valuable lessons. Trevor is passionate and very informative so if you are a garden geek like me that is an added bonus. I also appreciated not having a huge crew. Trevor was very involved in the job and stayed working all day along his men overseeing everything that went on. I have a lot of young delicate plants under my palms and they took care to protect them all. I have zero losses! That's a first for me. I highly recommend this company and I will hire them from now on for all my tree services. read more

I have been using Trevor and his crew for annual (structural) pruning of my shrubs and Trees in my native plant garden in Poway for about 3 years now.

I had a couple of avocado trees in separate need of trimming. I had used other services from other companies and they did not do a good job. I called Trevor at The Branch, and at the time it was the wrong time to trim avocado trees and he told me. So I waited until it was the appropriate time and called him and set the appointment. They were on time they were clean, they used electric saws so the noise was minimal. They cleaned up all of the branches and leaves and the trees look great. He gave me advice on on how and when to feed my avocado trees. We will be having him back to do the non fruit trees. He also showed me how to find out if the tree trimmer is a certified arborist, which he is. The other tree trimming service I used said they were arborist but looking them up they weren't. And it really shows in the work done. Trevor is great! The workman with him were polite. Overall a great experience and from now on The Branch is the only arborist that will be trimming trees on both of our properties. read more

Great job on our pepper trees. Certified arborist. Would/ will use their services again

The team did a fantastic job. I'd easily recommend them to anyone I know. They were great about communicating with timely responses. On the day of our service they showed up on time and finished the work efficiently and effectively including cleanup. They even cleaned the minimal debris (barely any that we could see) from our pool. The trees they helped us remove were very close to our pool and two retaining walls which were both very impressively avoided. Overall very happy with their work. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone we know and will work with them again in the future for landscaping and any further tree removal. read more

Top notch crew. They are total professionals that show up on time, do quality work, and do excellent clean up. Don't look anywhere else. Hire these guys now and enjoy their great work!! read more

Wonderful, engaging, and informative staff. Fantastic and amazing service. We have been lucky to hire their tree trimming skills over the course of many years and, each time, they predicted exactly what would happen - more uniform and healthier tree growth. Many thanks to Trevor and Derek for their continued support of our trees. You won't regret their service for your trees and, by extension, your home or work place. read more

Unfortunately I had to remove a couple of trees and contacted The Branch. Trevor was fast to respond and very competitive priced. He showed up with his team and worked extremely fast and effective.

I contacted Trevor to remove one messy tree and plant two new cleaner ones. He and his team did a meticulous job. Showed up on time, completed all the requested work, and cleaned everything up. I've had previous work done by his team, and it too went flawlessly. I can recommend Trevor and his team without any hesitation. read more

The Branch did good work at a reasonable price. I really appreciate their quick response!

Great experience with The Branch, from the estimate through the completed job. They trimmed 2 Queen palms, thinned a mature carrotwood to keep branches away from power lines while maintaining the natural shape of the canopy, trimmed back an overgrown hedge, and lightly pruned several other trees. The cost was very reasonable and worth every penny. Trevor, a certified arborist, worked alongside his crew the whole time. They were punctual, professional, and efficient. As others have noted, Trevor listens to client requests, and offers helpful suggestions and options. I knew our trees were in good hands! read more

Trevor was extremely honest and knowledgeable. He responds quickly and provides excellent analysis. If you have concerns about your trees and if they need treatment, definitely reach out to this company. read more

We were looking at removing three mature trees. The Branch team was very responsive in providing a fair and reasonable estimate. Work is scheduled to be completed in the next couple of weeks. read more

We have been clients of The Branch, owned by Derek & Trevor Long, for almost 10 years. Over that time, Trevor and his team have been out 3-4 times to do work for us and we have been thrilled with the results each and every time without fail. They have pruned Yucca, Palm Trees, Pine Trees, Schefflera Trees & Citrus Trees. They have removed various trees and bushes, including but not limited to: Pyracantha, Yucca, Bottlebrush, Pine, Fig, Oleander, Podocarpus, Chinese Elm and others. They have dug out various tree stumps and ground several other stumps on our property. There are many reasons that we have become customers for life, but here are just a few: 1) Licensed/Bonded/Insured Company with Certified Arborists/Tree Specialists who are CPR, First Aid and Aerial Rescue Certified with almost 40 years of experience. Do you really want workers climbing tall trees freestyle and with repelling gear; operating dangerous and heavy machinery; and hauling large debris who don't have the above listed certifications and training? We certainly don't! We never have to worry with Trevor and his team onsite as they are all expertly trained, wear the appropriate safety equipment, and maintain all needed safety protocols to protect themselves, the homeowner, neighbors/the public, and the property. Outside of that, they are all just really nice, polite, friendly and knowledgeable people with whom it is a pleasure to interact. 2) Communication - Trevor and Derek answer the phone, return texts and/or return calls in a timely manner. Trevor comes out to do quotes for every project. He carefully walks the property with us to review all requested work; asks clarifying questions, if needed; and provides recommendations and/or advises us of concerns. Quotes/estimates are provided either on-site or in a timely manner. For example, Trevor came out last Saturday, May 10th to review a large amount of work we needed done. He was ready to give me an estimate on the spot, but it was 95 degrees out and I did not want either him or myself outside any longer than needed. I asked him to just e-mail me the estimate when he got around to it. It was sent at 11:30 p.m. that evening! Trevor even followed up the next day, Sunday, via text to ensure that the e-mailed estimate was received. The night before work is the be completed, Trevor texts to verify the time they will arrive the following day. Once onsite, Trevor and his team keep the client advised of all progress, problems and/or needed information. They also send out a periodic e-mail blast to valued customers with helpful updates, helpful tips, behind-the-scenes info, and the occasional special or seasonal offer. 3) Quality of Work - The work performed is exceptional from start to finish. Trevor and his team are quick, efficient, precise and clean up so you never know work was completed. They do what needs to be done with the appropriate equipment whether it is repelling on ropes in a high tree, climbing freestyle in a lemon tree, using an extendable pole cutter, wielding a chain saw, pick axe, small/large stump grinder, chipper machine, etc. Trevor is like a monkey - we are always amazed watching him navigate on ropes or climbing among the branches of our trees. Once they are done, you walk out to expertly pruned trees; smooth ground where trees/stumps were removed; and no debris whatsoever. They blow, chip, sweep and rake up all debris. They have even used my pool net to fish debris out of my pool when tree cutting debris inadvertently finds its way into the pool. 4) Pricing - I have always found The Branch pricing to be fair, reasonable and market competitive. If I have budget constraints, Trevor always works with me to try to meet my budget and/or devise compromises to my work order that meets both of our needs. The Branch will also offer promotions from time to time and, in some case, discounts for repeat customers. 5) Scheduling - We have always found scheduling both estimates and work to be easy and completed in a timely manner. For our last service, I contacted Trevor late afternoon on Thursday, May 8th and he was at my property to create an estimate at 10:00 am on Saturday, May 10th. He had an opening in the schedule for Thursday, May 15th, so all work was completed today. As such, it took less than a week from my original call to work being completed. Obviously, that is not always the case based on work schedules, but Trevor will always clearly communicate a date on which work can be completed, and it has never been more than a few weeks out. Obviously, we cannot say enough good things about the Branch and Trevor & Derek Long. We highly recommend them! read more

The team at The Branch is truly a pleasure to work with and my lovely crepe myrtle tree has never looked happier. They did a beautiful job trimming the crepe myrtle, as well as removing other trees and shrubs on the property. I did my research looking specifically for a certified arborist who was state licensed and fully insured and am so pleased with the result. They were easy to work with, efficient, and took safety of themselves and the property seriously. I'll definitely be calling them again for planting help once I decide on my new tree and landscape plans. read more

My neighbor use this company to cut down a huge ficus tree a few years ago. He recommended them. They just cut down 100+ foot eucalyptus behind my property and did a terrific job. All that's left is sawdust. When they started laying material over my fence to protect it, I knew I'd hired the right company. They did a thorough job cleaning up. Working with Trevor was great. Highly recommended! read more

Once again The Branch rocked it! Derek came out and quoted a very reasonable price and Trevor and crew did the job. This time we had a tricky situation.

Thanks again Trevor and crew! read more

Trevor Long was excellent all around! He removed two large branches and thinned out our flat leaf eucalyptus trees and removed 12 camphor trees that had not been cared for correctly by previous owners. He will be returning to grind the stumps and gave us ideas of trees we can have planted in the place of those removed. He also has landscape services which will address the irrigation to the new trees. Very thankful that we were referred to him! He is honest, professional and efficient! read more
