Learn MoreReach us by phone or through the contact form. Tell us what you have - the type of tree, roughly how tall, and what you're hoping to accomplish. We'll ask a few quick questions and schedule a free on-site estimate, usually within 1 business day. No pressure, no commitment to book.
An estimator comes to your property, walks the tree with you, and explains what work makes sense. You'll get a written quote that spells out exactly what's included - removal, chipping, stump grinding, cleanup. No vague verbal estimates. You decide whether to move forward on your timeline.
The crew arrives with the right equipment for your specific job. Whether it's a single trim or a full removal with stump grinding, we work cleanly and methodically. Before we leave, we do a final walkthrough with you. If anything isn't right, we fix it on the spot.
California requires a state contractor's license for tree work above a certain dollar threshold - we hold one, and you can verify it online through the CSLB. We also carry liability insurance and workers' compensation. Ask for proof of both before any crew starts on your property.
We don't quote tree jobs over the phone because the location, size, and condition of the tree all affect the price. We come to you, walk the property, and give you a written quote that spells out exactly what's included. You decide whether to book - there's no pressure either way.
We've been doing tree work in Burbank and the surrounding San Fernando Valley since 2016. We know the neighborhoods, the common tree species, the local permit rules, and the fire-hazard zones near the Verdugo Mountains foothills. That local knowledge makes a difference on every job.
Storms don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. If a tree comes down on your property at any hour, we have a crew available to respond. We aim to have someone on-site within hours for genuine emergencies - not the next available appointment two weeks out.

They came out the day after I called and had a large dead oak out of my backyard by afternoon. The stump was ground the same day and the yard was completely cleaned up before they left. Exactly what I needed before fire season.
Michael R., Burbank - Tree removal
I had three overgrown ficus trees that were dropping branches onto my roof every Santa Ana season. The crew trimmed all three in one visit, explained which branches were the real risks, and the trees actually look better now than they did before.
Sandra K., Glendale - Tree trimming
A big branch came down in the wind and landed on my fence at 10 pm. I called and someone picked up right away. The crew was there the next morning, cleared the branch, inspected the rest of the tree, and gave me an honest assessment of what was left.

Late summer is the practical window - lightening your canopy before fall winds arrive reduces the chance of branch failure. The International Society of Arboriculture recommends trimming before high-wind periods in fire-prone regions.
Dead branches, dense canopies touching your roofline, and dry overgrowth close to structures all increase wildfire risk. Burbank's foothills sit in areas where CAL FIRE defensible space requirements apply to many properties.
Many trees that look dangerous can be saved with proper pruning or cabling. A qualified arborist can tell you whether removal is truly necessary or whether a less drastic approach will solve the problem and save you money.
A lean that has developed recently, or one that has worsened over time, is more concerning than a tree that has always grown at an angle. Look for heaving soil at the base and visible root damage - those are signs that need a professional assessment fast.
Grinding removes the visible stump and root flare but leaves the root system underground. For most yards, the roots decompose over a few years without causing problems. If you're building or planting in that spot, ask about full root removal.
Eucalyptus, ficus, and certain palms are common in Burbank's older neighborhoods and are known for aggressive roots and brittle branch structures. The Tree Care Industry Association maintains resources on species-specific risk management that are useful for California homeowners.

In most cases, yes - but decaying stumps in Southern California attract subterranean termites, which are a genuine pest risk. If the stump is close to your house or wood fencing, grinding sooner is the smarter move.
CAL FIRE maintains a public map of California's Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Many Burbank properties near the Verdugo foothills fall within these zones, which come with specific vegetation management requirements.

Burbank sits at the southeastern end of the San Fernando Valley, about 7 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. The city has two distinct areas: a flatland section built out primarily from the 1940s through the 1970s, and a foothill section that climbs into the Verdugo Mountains. That split matters for tree work - flat-ground jobs in the older residential neighborhoods near Warner Bros. Studios and the Hollywood Burbank Airport are different from hillside jobs in the foothills, where access, slope, and fire risk change what a crew needs to plan for.
The flatland neighborhoods are full of mature trees - large ficus, eucalyptus, liquid amber, jacaranda, and palms that have been growing for decades. Many are beautiful, but older trees in this part of town have had time to develop root problems, structural issues, and dead wood. Roots growing into sidewalks, driveways, and sewer lines are common throughout Burbank's older streets. The foothill properties near the Verdugos face a different set of concerns: fire season, Santa Ana winds, and steep lots where a hazardous tree requires more careful planning to remove safely.
Liberty Burbank Tree Service has been working in Burbank since 2016. We know which permits the city requires, which streets require special equipment access, and how to work around the in-ground irrigation systems that are standard on most residential lots here. If you have a tree concern anywhere in Burbank - from the flatlands near downtown to the hillside streets above the Valley - call us at (747) 268-3304.
