I've called a left a message with the answering service multiple times. I've used the email request option. Still I can't get anyone to return my call. I should have read the other reviews. Seems this is a common problem. Unprofessional and unresponsive. read more

I recommend David and his hard working team with all your landscaping needs. Thank you for the great job and professionalism. read more

A representative came to my house to look at the trees I wanted trimmed and provide an estimate. After a couple of days I hadn't gotten the estimate so I called the office. I spoke with a person who said they would make sure that I got the estimate. It never came. What a waste of my time. read more

I'm a contractor and have used many different trades through the years. Any more it is very rare people, workers and or companies show up and do what they are suppose to let alone do a quality job!!! I was very impressed Branch Management showed up on time, did a very professional job AND left the job site cleaner than before they started. Also the cost for the job was very fair and they billed me exactly what they quoted me. I highly recommend Branch Management Tree Service. A very professional company delivering quality workmanship !! AND, they have top notch equipment!!! read more

David Schmidt does not own an ISA license as Arizona requires to be a legitimate licensed arborist. David uses on his stationary an ISA license that is not his license. This license is owned by an individual who is not a member of the company. Is he insured? who knows; think of your liability in case of an accident prior to hiring this company. There are plenty of LEGITIMATE and reputable arborists in Arizona David did not show up at the appointment claiming he had tripple booked his calendar. read more

I set an appointment for Thursday morning at 11:00 am. At 11:10 am, they call and say they are very behind, and want to reschedule. Well first, I think they knew they were behind before 11:00 am, but waited to call until they were late. Then they offer two times for an appointment, and I chose Friday at 9:00 am. They no call/no show. I saw a couple of other reviews where they didn't show or call, but mostly good reviews. So I thought, I'll give them a try and not listen to the minority. Well in this case, listen to the minority, they are right. This company does business as no call/no show. Too bad, it seems to be a challenge to find arborists who work the West Valley/Peoria/Glendale area. But I will not use this company. read more

I scheduled a consult on 4/18. The guy called to let me know he'd be 10 min late but actually arrived 45 min late. He said he would write up a quote for the work we discussed and send it to me. It's been over 2 weeks, never heard back. Really unprofessional and waste of my time. read more

A gentleman came out to give me an estimate on trimming a palm tree shortly after I called. He knew exactly what kind of tree it was, which was unusual, and even texted Dave a picture. He seemed very knowledgeable and professional. We agreed on a price and that was the last I heard from him. I called a week or so later and he said he had been ill, but had scheduled my tree for the following Wednesday. They didn't show up or call. Called again twice and got no call back. Hired a different company. Very odd business behavior. read more

My neighbor had some trees trimmed and was happy with their work so he gave me this company's business card. I called and requested a quote to trim/shape two citrus trees in my back yard. Albert (manager) came out, gave assurances that they could do a great job, and quoted a reasonable price. I scheduled it with him for a week later and they "no showed". I called and talked to someone who had no idea why they did not show. She said the work would be rescheduled for a week later. Again, a "no show". I called again (I am a little slow!). They assured me that Albert would call me back to schedule a good time to do the work. I waited another week, then called again, and was told Albert would call me that afternoon! Again crickets. Finally I had to close up the place and head back up north. I still need the work done and heading south this week but will definitely not use (nor recommend) these guys. read more

We are very impressed with the work and price done by Branch Management, trimming our 2 large trees! Excellent work and our trees have never looked so good. We will be using them again without a doubt! read more

I wrote a review several years ago and was told today that Yelp removed it since it did not appear I was a direct customer of this fraudster. I DID use this company and advise everyone to NOT use it. I can only assume the owner complained about my review and Yelp found some obscure rule to remove it. For Yelp, I hired this company and have the canceled check to prove it. I've had regular gardeners trim my trees and they looked better than the botched job David did. He's a crook and will charge you 10X what the job should cost. Here is my original review: This is a business run out of someone's apartment (google the 7950 E Starlight Way Ste 128 Scottsdale, AZ 85250 address) and it lacks any hint of professionalism. David is slightly unbalanced and what other posters have said about his behavior is true. There's no dealing with him in a professional and sane way if anything goes wrong and he turns on you, the customer, in a desperate need to prove you're the problem. Worse part, I suspect the accreditations are bogus and he uses those to substantiate high prices. There are a LOT of tree companies in Phoenix. ... do yourself a favor and keep looking. read more

Don't hire this company. They don't even have people who work there answer the phone. It's an answering service. That's not the worst of it. They are extremely unreliable. It took several days before anyone got back to me after leaving a message. I had an appointment and the person was a no show not once but twice. I got no phone call or text telling me they couldn't make it. I guess they don't need the business. And even if they are busy they could at least given me the courtesy of letting me know that they were not coming. Find another company because this one will make you wait and wait and then not show up! read more

David came out to my house and did an estimate on approximately 5/15/12. He told me one price, we negotiated, but then he left an estimate for a price different than what was discussed via telephone. He told me he would call me to schedule. The next time I heard from David was on 5/30. He called me and cryptically stated "Did you cut your tree". I explained I had and that not only did he provide me a different price on the written estimate, but never called to schedule. He began to yell at me for hiring someone else. I hung up on him. He then called me back and continued to go off on me. I told him that his actions were creeping me out and that the tree is done so it is irrelevant. I find it extremely unprofessional, and really pretty scary, that this man not only has driven by my house to check up on the work (before even calling to schedule) but also that he would call me and conduct himself this way. read more

I had a couple citrus trees that had to be cut down and removed from my patio. After contacting a number of arborists and landscaping companies, Dave at Branch Management Tree Service demonstrated he had the knowledge, experience and customer service that made me certain he and his company were the best for my needs. He was fast (within minutes) on getting me an estimate and he was able to schedule and complete the work within 24 hrs of my first call. The work was done fast, they were courteous, professional and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Thanks guys, I highly recommend you! read more

I wish I had read the reviews on yelp before contacting this company. I called to schedule appointment for a bid. I never got scheduled. Yesterday I come home from work to find a bid by my front door (we are a gated community) and it included our front and back trees (our backyard door is locked). I call today to know why he stopped by without an appointment and to ask how he got into my backyard???? He stated my neighbor let him in and climbed a wall to see our backyard..... I find this scary and creepy so I asked them to not stop by our home again and I will look for a different company. I have to be clear I did not get their services so I can not speak to that but I just did not get a good feeling from the way they come to your home when you are not there. read more

We had a tree that began growing in a really weird angle which turned into a safety issue for our neighbors. Unfortunately, the tree had to come down. I made contact with Branch Management and spoke with Theresa. She was fantastic to work with! Theresa first worked with me on scheduling my free quote. After agreeing upon the quoted price (which was a very fair price), we were able to schedule the removal the very next day; talk about prompt! The morning of the removal, I did have a last minute request which Theresa and crew were able to accommodate with no problem. After the job was done, I came home from work to inspect the area and it looked as though nothing was ever there. They did an amazing job and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for any tree services. Thanks Theresa! read more

Dave is amazing. I had a tree that was not doing well. I called Dave since he is an actual arborist. He gave my tree vitamin injections and they worked like magic. It saved my tree. Thank you! I appreciate your help and your honesty. read more

The Phoenix monsoons a few weeks ago really did a number on my yard. After one of my small trees in my backyard snapped in half, one of my dogs hurt himself (thankfully it wasn't anything terrible). It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday when I got to googling for a landscaper or tree service. I found Dave from google, called him, and to my surprise he answered! There was no phone tag or anything. By Wednesday morning, my backyard was looking happy again, and a new tree has taken the old one's place. Branch Management seems to truly care about their customers, going so far as to help out and fix mother nature's nightmare after hours! I'm extremely satisfied! read more

Branch Management did a fantastic job coming out quickly to provide a fair quote and scheduled tree removal early the following week. They provided liability and workers comp which is imperative to have in a high risk job like this. A professional crew of 3 came early in the morning and completed the job within 6 hours. They left the job site immaculate (outshining my current landscaper's best efforts). I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, high quality service! read more

I had what appeared to be a sick tree in my front yard so I found this company on Home Advisor. Within a few hours, the owner called me and we assessed the problem through FaceTime. David was able to give me a rough estimate before physically coming out to my house to see the tree for a more accurate price, which was extremely fair and affordable, especially given all the work involved to save my tree. David knows his stuff! Branch Management Tree Service are my go-to guys now, and I expect the deep root fertilizations to bring my tree back to its old self. read more

I stayed at a relative's house in Scottsdale over the weekend, and Saturday morning, I was backing the car out of the driveway to head to breakfast and barely nudged two small trees that are right at the exit of the driveway and front lawn. I didn't think much of it until I got out of the car and saw they were uprooted. I leveled them myself and went about my business. When we got back to the house, they were hunched over even more than before. I found this tree company only a couple miles away and the tree was replanted and staked so it stays level. They provided same day service and it wasn't expensive. read more

The quote was done quickly. The scheduling for the tree removal was done quickly. The tree removal was removed cleanly, and I would recommend them. Very fair price. I asked them to give me a quote after seeing them and their good work at our company. read more

We have a 30+ Year old maple that had surface roots we thought might be damaging the tree along with a cut branch that had some decay. Dave took the time to explain in detail what was happening to the tree and assured us the tree was in pretty good shape and we shouldn't be concerned. His knowledge of his trade is evident and we learned so much from him. We have Branch Management in our preferred company listings and will always call them when needed. F. B. read more

I had been using an arborist for the past year. Two large palms were looking very bad and yet I was told to just leave them alone for now. My gardener then checked one of the trees and determined it was sick. I immediately called Branch Management Tree Service and spoke with Dave. He came out within three days. He instantly diagnosed both palms and said they had a fungus. I asked him to take a look at everything so we went around my yard and during that time he was giving me all kinds of beneficial information about my trees. He told me what needed to be done and I agreed. Within two days he scheduled his workmen who arrived on time and were very professional and knowledgeable. They did a superb job and I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend Branch Management Tree Service. read more

Dave gave my landscape the attention it needed to determine a get well plan. The crew came the next day to feed, trim and add compost. I'm excited to see the landscape get healthy read more

A large portion of my lemon tree was damaged my a neighbors falling tree so I had Branch Management come out to take a look. They came out the following day, gave me a quote which I accepted, then did the work 2 days later. Linda in the office was a pleasure to deal with and Margarito, who did the work was wonderful. In less than an hour he'd re-shaped the tree, fertilized and cleaned up. He's extremely knowledgeable, was able to answer all of my questions and explain what he was doing and what to expect as the tree grows back and fills in. read more

Good professional service. The crew was nice and relatively quiet while chopping down the tree and removing the stump in my front yard. Saved me a buck or two, as well! read more

Trimmed very large mesquite tree. Professional job beginning to end Job well done, thank you Margarito read more

They did a great job to promptly remove a huge fallen olive tree. A different time they removed a large palm tree. Prompt to respond, prices were reasonable, and cleanup was well done. read more

The service this company provided was everything and more. My beautiful very large totem pole cactus had tipped over onto my house from the heavy rains. Dave came out to bid the project the day I called and was sincerely interesting in saving the cactus. His crew was there the next day and had it uprighted and fully reinforced. I am completely satisfied with the cost, process and excellent customer service. Thank you so much! read more

I used them to remove a large tree that fell in my front yard as a result of a recent storm. I sent pictures to Dave and he gave me a quote over the phone. He said he could have his men out in the next couple days to take care of it. They arrived when promised and did an excellent job. I certainly appreciated the quick response. read more

The initial contact and multiple tree and plant treatment was satisfactory however one of my citrus trees started dropping leaves after the treatment and a return visit was required. It is now one week later and, despite MULTIPLE return visit promises, there has been no real attempt to come by, personally assess the problem and fix it! And my large orange tree continues to remain in stress and drop leaves. FYI, I have now scheduled another company (at added cost) to come out and correct the problem. What a shame; what started out as a very good service was destroyed by a total lack of needed follow-up. read more

I wish this story had a different ending. Branch Management came out to treat a large palm tree that had fungus. The treatment did not help, and even after continuous emails and phone calls for many months, I could not get them to come back to check the tree. It was one of a pair of very large palm trees by the pool, and it had to be chopped down when it died. It looks funny not having two trees, but it will be too expensive to try to plant another large palm there. This could have been prevented if they had ever responded. read more

If there were a zero star option on yelp I would rather choose that. They were recommended by a nursery but not anymore. Low bids to get the job then blames the customer because it's not going as expected. David the owner mentioned numerous times that he's been in business for 35 years but didn't finish the job. Stay far away from this company, absolutely no integrity. read more

Dave, please refund our money for the work you never completed. This is a warning to anyone who might consider this company. Dave is great at upfront sales pitch but doesn't follow through. You can hide for a little while, but ultimately sir, you WILL give back the money you stole from us. We still have a couple of viable options open to us, let's see if you respond to this. I will update as to the outcome. read more

Called to have a large pine tree removed- the sales man came out provided an estimate, scheduled the job - 2 days later the tree was removed - they took out the stump and cleaned everything up read more

I work for SRP Pera Club. We had Branch Management come in to asses our suffering pine trees and 400 yards of hedgeline. Dave was able to identify the problem with our trees and successfuly treat them. He also advised us on what to do with our hedgeline. We followed his advice and he fertilized it. It more than doubled in fullness within 3 months. We were very pleased with his efforts and reccomend him to anyone with similar problems. read more

David is very reasonably priced compared to other tree removal companies and was able to get the job done quickly! We were impressed with the timeliness of the job. The stump was not cut down enough and without question he came back out to grind down the stump. I would recommend this company. read more

I wish I had read yelp reviews before I hired these people. What other negative reviews said, I totally agree with. Totally unprofessional company, however the sub-contractor Ramiro Palm Trees that came out to trim my trees and remove a large tree, were very good workers and wanted me to be happy with their work. They cleaned up the yard very well and worked hard. David is totally unprofessional and seems to forget that this is a service company. I called this company thinking they were arborists and was willing to pay a little more for the professional advice. I think I paid more and received non-professional advice. Go somewhere else. read more
