As an AQF5 Consulting Arborist, I have observed practices of may tree work contractors over many years. Among the most professional and ethical is Branch Management Total Tree Services. Their team continuously display pride in their work.
John Alcock

I have been working with the team at Branch Management for several years now, often calling on them when I am in urgent need of assistance. From Jess in the head office, to all of the arborists that have attended and worked on our properties, I find they are professional in all aspects of their service. Due to the historical and heritage nature of our properties, having the confidence that we have suitable contractors attending our sites, often unsupervised, is equally as important as completing the actual tasks itself – I would highly recommend the tree removal and arborist services offered by Branch Management.

From the moment I engaged Branch Management Tree Service to attend to the lopping and pruning of overgrown trees across several of our properties under management I knew I was in expert hands. Their meticulous attention to detail and professional efficiency is second to none. Their team is courteous, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their work. They tackled a complex removal of trees and debris with precision. The results were stunning, and I couldn’t be happier. Branch Management Tree Service has earned my highest recommendation – they are truly the best in the business!

About Branch Management
Branch Management originated in 1999 as a small, family-owned enterprise catering to the Port Stephens region. What commenced with a single operator armed with a chainsaw, car, and box trailer has transformed into a dynamic tree company featuring a leadership team, a full-time arborist, a dedicated crew, and state-of-the-art equipment.
In 2024, after 23 years at the helm, operator Shelley Langan handed over the reins of Branch Management to Bianca and Kasie Sheridan. Drawing upon over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Bianca and Kasie previously served as proud proprietors of The Railway Hotel in Parkes from 2010 to 2021.
Our commitment to a professional and amiable approach remains steadfast, ensuring top-notch work at the most competitive rates. Branch Management has upheld numerous long-term contracts and garnered a multitude of loyal customers.
