We offer Tree pruning (crown cleaning & restoration, crown reduction, safety trim, thinning/shaping), tree removal, hedge trim/removal, stump grinding, brush chipping, landscape services, and free wood and mulch when available. The Branch is State Licensed (#619549). For your complete protection The Branch is fully insured, which includes General Liability Insurance, Commercial Auto Insurance, and Workers Compensation insurance. We are committed to providing professional work along with reasonable prices. In the early 1980's Derek Long worked for a reputable landscape company, then in 1986 he branched out on his own and started doing tree work and then became State Licensed in 1991, and when he incorporated in 2011 he became President and CEO of The Branch. Derek is a Certified Arborist and Certified Tree Worker, and he looks forward to providing tree service within our community for many years to come. Beginning at an early age, Trevor Long was raking leaves and dragging brush for his dad. Later on he began climbing trees and learning the trade. His passion for tree work grew and Trevor is now a Certified Arborist and an experienced Certified Tree Worker. Trevor has also earned a bachelor's degree (Cal-State University San Marcos) and is Vice-President of The Branch. Derek and Trevor are a father and son team and are certified in CPR, Aerial Rescue, and First Aid. It is their goal to continue providing excellent service within our community while working together as a team. For those of you who are our repeat customers, we thank you, and for those of you who are considering hiring us for the first time, we invite you to give us a try!!

"After talking to a number of tree service people, we reached out to The Branch as recommended by another arborist. We needed to trim our trees as we were installing solar panels. What really won us with The Branch is the knowledge they imparted to us made tree sense. They were able to explain to us the trees' needs, limitations and possible repercussions. At the end of the day, we removed 3 trees and had another one pruned. The Branch came in on time; a bit earlier if I recall. They completed their project within the day and cleaned up after themselves. We are having them return to do other trees in our backyard. Couldn't see having it done by others we spoke to prior. They won our confidence!"

Land clearing services FAQs

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.
