Proper Tree Trimming Services
Did you know that when you trim your trees you are providing them with a longer life? Trimming is one of the best ways to ensure your tree remains in a healthy state, while strengthening its core, in turn allowing it to withstand against Arizona’s harsh weather. In fact, when you remove diseased ridden or dead branches from your tree, you are actually discouraging the spread of decay and insect infestations.
Once we plant a tree it is easy to believe that it will just grow on its own. However, it is not taking action that causes trees to often go neglected, and/or taken for granted. While this may be true for states with much more forgiving climates, it is simply not going to happen in Arizona, in large part due to the state’s tendency for sandy soil, storms, drought conditions and insect infestations.
Branch Management Tree Service has been servicing commercial, residential and governmental clients for over 35 years valley-wide. We have the expertise, training and equipment to tackle any tree trimming, thinning or pruning job regardless of the tree’s size or shape. Our clients love our tree trimming services because of the degree of service we have to offer!
Our certified tree experts use the latest, state-of-the-art safety equipment to deliver the best and most effective tree trimming services in the minimalist of time, which saves you money. Don’t settle for less than the best; we carry an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau; and follow all ANSI A300 guidelines and standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture.
By opting to have tree trimming services performed regularly by Branch Management Tree Service, you can expect your tree to remain healthy, and provide you with everlasting beauty. Contact us today for our competitive prices, high level of quality, and an estimate on tree trimming and maintenance services.

Wrong Trimming can cause serious damage or you could lose your tree all together. For example the “Lion’s Tail” trimming leaves the tree heavy at the ends of the branches.
Tree Removal
Tree removal is not a service we like to emphasize; however; there are some situations where it may be warranted. Branch Management Tree Service executes tree removals to eliminate dead or dying trees, those beyond recovery, as well as trees that may pose a safety risk to you or your loved ones. Trees may also be removed for anyone of the following reasons:
-
To reduce competition with other trees and/or plants
-
To allow for new construction
-
To allow clearance for utility lines
-
When severely damaged by the elements
While we would all like to save money tree removal is NOT a “Do It Yourself” project. In fact it is one of the most hazardous parts of our job. Oftentimes, our certified tree experts must remove trees where there is minimal room, or where utility lines are within close proximity. For your safety, and to ensure your home isn’t damaged, tree removal should only be executed by a professional tree services company.
At Branch Management Tree Service, we take great pride in ensuring that your tree is removed in such a way that disturbance to nearby vegetation is minimalized, if not entirely eliminated.

Stake & Cabling
Has your tree blown-over? Is it leaning more to one side due to high winds? Did you plant a new, young tree? Using high quality materials, we at Branch Management Tree Service, can have your tree standing upright in a jiffy. Our certified tree experts and certified tree arborists will reset your tree to its original position, stake it and cable it. This service ensures your tree is positioned securely while allowing its roots time to grow.
Tree staking is never done with the intention of harming a tree. Staking is done in order to maintain a tree’s erection, promote root and trunk growth, protect a young tree and re-support a tree after a storm. For older trees, staking is only performed after corrective pruning is completed, so that unnecessary weight is not already burdening an already weak tree.
Cables as well as braces are additional structural supports intended to 1) reduce the chance of your tree from failing before its time after it becomes structurally weakened for any reason, 2) to prolong your tree’s healthy existence after it has become damaged, and 3) to reduce your tree’s potential for hazards to occur. Additional support may be needed is your tree is splitting or decaying.
When done properly by our certified tree experts and arborists, all of whom are knowledgeable and experienced in this field, tree staking and cabling are both superb ways in which to ensure your tree’s strength, health and beauty are not compromised. All of the work we at Branch Management Tree Service perform, as well as all of the materials we use, are in strict accordance with ANSI A300 Tree Care Standards.
For more information, help and advice on the topic of tree staking and cabling, please contact us at (480) 970-1315. We will take every precaution necessary to make sure minimal drilling to your tree is performed during this service therefore ensuring the least amount of damage. We service trees of all specimens, shapes and sizes valley-wide! Best of all, we offer competitive pricing!

Throughout the state, trees have suffered from not only windstorms and flood damage, but also from vehicular damage.

If your tree presents minimal damage, and is still structurally sound, then it has a great chance of surviving with the proper care.

Tree Removal

For trees less than 25’ feet in height it’s possible to treat it in such a manner that it will be able to grow stronger with each passing day. However, trees higher in height over 25’ feet should safely be removed, so as not to jeopardize your safety. For information on this service, please click here.

Deep Root Fertilization
Deep root fertilization is the process of injecting high quality nutrients into your trees’ root zone while under pressure. The injection begins just below the surface and goes to total depth of 12 to 14”. Each injection site is strategically placed 2 to 3’ feet apart in a grid pattern under your trees’ canopy area and beyond its drip line for maximum results.
It is recommended that when utilizing deep root fertilization solutions, the process be repeated twice a year, in order to better assist in your trees overall health. By repeating this process you are also helping your tree defend itself against insect infestations and common tree diseases.
Wherever oxygen, nutrients and moisture are present you are sure to find roots. By having deep root fertilization services performed at minimum twice a year, you are improving your soil’s oxygen content, aeration and nutrient levels, which help to improve environmental conditions in and around your trees roots.
For more information on the formulation of our fertilizer, please feel free to contact us. Considering that each tree is different than the next, our certified arborists may make amendments to the mixture we most often utilize, as is commonly the case whenever nutrient deficiencies or health concerns are present.
Palm Tree Services
In a state such as Arizona, where a palm tree can be found on virtually every corner, it is only natural that you will require our palm tree maintenance services at one time or another. Our tree maintenance services will ensure your palms are protected from insect infestations, diseases and deficiencies commonly caused by malnutrition. No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, and yes you read that right.
Although it may appear to most that your palm tree is invincible; since it tolerates the Arizona heat so well; they are in fact extremely sensitive and require a large variety of nutrients in order to remain beautifully healthy. At Branch Management Tree Service, we have certified arborists on staff, all of whom understand the uniqueness of palms and how to properly care for them.
Palm Trimming
The normal progression of your palms fronds are for them to turn yellow, orange and them brown. Once your palm’s fronds have turned brown it is then, and only then, that they should be trimmed. This progression allows your palm efficient time to utilize all of its stored nutrition, helping to ensure that healthy new growth takes place, where the cut was made.
Royal, foxtail and veitchia palm trees are self-cleaning palms; hence they never need trimmed; they actually shed their dead fronds on their own. Allow Branch Management Tree Service’s experienced team to perform all of your palm trimming needs. We can do it faster, safer and at an affordable price. When done properly, palm trimming will ensure your palm’s healthy growth, but don’t incorrectly it can lead to:
-
A loss in vigor
-
A reduction in nutritional health
-
The transmission of disease
-
A lowered tolerance to the cold and windstorms
Palm Treatments
Palm malnutrition, as mentioned above, is one of the most common issues we come across when working with Arizona’s palm trees. This is in large part due to the palms thriving in such a sandy, well-drained soil, which causes its nutrients to leach away rather quickly. We at Branch Management Tree Service, utilize specialized methods when treating nutritional deficiencies, which are designed to provide consistent feeding.

Tree Values
Trees are responsible for so much more than just surrounding you with comforting ambiance. In fact, trees provide timber, food, paper and refuges for wildlife. They also work to replenish the environment with oxygen and filter pollution. In addition, they provide sound barriers and shade canopies. All of these benefits and more make it possible to measure your tree’s monetary value.
Recent studies estimate that your tree may account for upwards of 15 percent of your property’s value. However, this figure is dependent on which appraisal method is utilized, how many mature trees you own, where your tree is situated and on the assessment factors (listed below). Please note that your tree’s value may vastly differ to that of your neighbor’s regardless of whether their identical or not.
