A Family-Run Tree Surgery Business in York

Local Knowledge, Professional Standards

Branch by Branch Tree Services is a family-run business built around skilled tree care, personal responsibility and respect for every property. Based in York, the company works with homeowners, landlords and commercial clients who want clear advice, safe working practices and a garden or site left properly tidy.

The business is led by Rudy Dear, an NPTC-qualified arborist and Askham Bryan College graduate with more than 10 years of practical experience. Rudy remains closely involved in the work, from the first assessment and quotation through to the final cleanup.

Meet Rudy Dear

Rudy’s experience covers routine tree maintenance, difficult removals, storm damage, stump and root work, hedge management and larger commercial clearance. His training provides the technical foundation, while years on site have developed the judgement needed to work safely around homes, boundaries, roads, gardens and neighbouring property.

Good tree work is not simply about using a chainsaw. It begins with understanding the condition, position and likely development of a tree. Rudy explains the available options in plain English, recommends work that is proportionate to the situation and avoids pushing customers towards treatment they do not need.

A Business Passed from Father to Son

Branch by Branch has roots in a father-to-son family tradition. That history shapes the way the company operates today: reputation matters, promises matter and the person quoting for the work remains accountable for how it is completed.

Being family-run also keeps communication direct. Customers are not passed through layers of sales staff or left wondering who is responsible for the job. Questions can be discussed clearly, access arrangements agreed in advance and any changes explained before work continues.

Careful Work from Arrival to Cleanup

Every job is planned around safety, access and protection of the surrounding area. The company carries standard public liability insurance and works with suitable equipment and controlled methods for the task. Once the agreed work is complete, timber, branches and debris are removed, leaving the space ready for the customer to use again.

That care begins before equipment is brought onto the property. Access routes, delicate surfaces and nearby features are considered in advance, helping the team work efficiently without treating the garden as nothing more than a work site.

Reviews on Google and Facebook consistently praise the team’s reliability, communication and tidiness. Those qualities are treated as part of the service, not optional extras. Arriving as agreed, keeping customers informed and respecting gardens, buildings and neighbours are basic professional standards.

An Inclusive Local Workplace

Branch by Branch is proud to provide an inclusive, LGBTQ+-friendly workplace. Customers, employees, contractors and neighbours are treated with courtesy and respect. The aim is a professional experience in every sense, including how people are spoken to and how their homes and working environments are treated.

The team serves York, Haxby and surrounding communities, completing both domestic and commercial work. Free, no-obligation quotations are available, and photographs can be sent through WhatsApp for an initial estimate.
