Serving Burbank, CA and surrounding areas. (747) 268-3304
Overgrown trees, dead limbs, and storm cleanup handled by a licensed Burbank crew that knows local permits and leaves your property clean.
Commercial tree service in Burbank includes trimming and pruning to shape trees and remove dead wood, full tree removal when a tree is dying or dangerous, stump grinding, emergency storm cleanup, and ongoing health care for trees under stress - most single-tree jobs are completed in a few hours, with larger or more complex work taking a full day.
Burbank homeowners and property managers call us when they have a tree that needs professional attention - whether that is an overgrown canopy brushing against the roofline, a dead tree that needs to come down before Santa Ana wind season, or storm cleanup after a bad wind event. Large trees require rigging, climbing gear, and aerial lifts that most people do not own, and the difference between a trained crew and an untrained one shows up most clearly when something goes wrong.
If you are dealing with an active hazard, see our emergency tree service page for same-day response. For planned work on larger parcels, we also handle land clearing when multiple trees or heavy brush need to be removed from a site.
Large dead limbs or branches hanging at an odd angle are a falling hazard, especially with Santa Ana winds in the forecast. A branch that looks stable on a calm day can come down fast when gusts hit the Burbank foothills. This is one of the most urgent reasons to call.
A tree that has developed a noticeable lean, especially after a storm or heavy rain, may have a compromised root system. In Burbank's hillside areas, soil movement can shift a tree's base over time. A professional can assess whether the lean is structural or cosmetic.
Branches rubbing against your roof wear away shingles and give rodents a bridge into your attic. Branches growing into or near overhead lines are a safety issue that Burbank Water and Power takes seriously. If you can see contact from the ground, it is time to call.
Sawdust-like material at the base of the trunk, unusual holes in the bark, or sections of canopy dying back while the rest of the tree looks healthy are warning signs. The polyphagous shot hole borer has spread through the Los Angeles area and can kill trees from the inside. Catching it early gives you more options.
We handle the full range of commercial and residential tree work across Burbank. That starts with trimming and pruning - shaping canopies, removing dead wood, and clearing branches that are too close to the roofline or overhead lines. A well-pruned tree looks natural, not butchered. We make clean cuts at the right spots and leave the tree structurally sound.
When a tree needs to come down, we handle the full removal and can include stump grinding as part of the same job. For properties hit by a storm, we do debris cleanup and haul everything away before we leave. For larger projects - clearing multiple trees for a construction project or fire-defensible space work - we offer land clearing as well. And when something happens overnight and you need help fast, our emergency tree service crew dispatches the same day.
Best for properties with overgrown canopies, branches near the roofline, or trees that need shaping before Santa Ana wind season.
Best for dead, dying, or structurally compromised trees that need to come down safely without damaging surrounding structures.
Best after a tree is removed when the stump needs to be ground below grade so the area can be replanted or cleared for other use.
Best for commercial or residential properties with fallen limbs or damaged trees after a wind event or heavy rain.
Burbank's older residential neighborhoods - Magnolia Park, the Rancho area, and the hillside streets near the Verdugo Mountains - often have mature trees growing very close to overhead power lines, block walls, and neighboring structures. Work near utility lines typically requires coordination with Burbank Water and Power and adds complexity to the job. A crew that has worked these streets before knows how to handle these situations safely and efficiently, without the back-and-forth that comes from working an unfamiliar area.
Drought stress is another factor specific to this region. Southern California's extended dry cycles weaken root systems and make trees more vulnerable to pests like the polyphagous shot hole borer, which has spread widely through the Los Angeles area. A stressed tree can look fine from the street and still be structurally compromised inside. We serve homeowners throughout Burbank and in nearby Studio City, where the same combination of mature tree canopies, tight lots, and seasonal wind exposure creates similar challenges for property owners.

Call or submit a request and we schedule a time to walk your property. We provide a written estimate at no charge. Be ready to describe what you are seeing so we bring the right equipment. We respond within one business day for non-emergency requests.
If the tree is large or potentially protected under Burbank's municipal code, we let you know whether a permit is required before work begins. We handle the paperwork and keep you updated - this step can add a few days to the timeline depending on city review.
Once the estimate is accepted and approvals are in place, we set a work date. Before the crew arrives, clear vehicles and movable items from the work area and make sure any gates or side yards are accessible for equipment.
A professional crew rakes, blows, and hauls away all debris before leaving. We walk the property with you to confirm everything looks right and get any follow-up recommendations in writing - including anything the crew noticed during the job.
Free written estimate, no pressure - we walk your property and tell you exactly what needs to happen and why.
Burbank's tree protection rules catch homeowners off guard regularly, and removing a protected tree without approval can be costly. We check permit requirements before any work starts and handle the city process for you, so the job is done correctly the first time.
Every job ends with the crew raking, blowing, and hauling away all debris. We confirm upfront what is included in your quote - including whether stump grinding chips are removed or left as mulch - so there are no surprises when the bill arrives.
We have worked Burbank's flatland neighborhoods and hillside streets near the Verdugo Mountains since 2016. We know the utility line placement, the tree species that tend to fail in wind, and the access challenges that narrow driveways and block walls create.
A well-trained crew does not just cut things down - they evaluate the whole tree before touching it. We identify internal decay, root compromise from drought stress, and pest damage that are not visible from the street, so you get an honest picture of what the tree actually needs.
Every job comes with written documentation, full debris removal, and a walkthrough before we leave. When you hire a licensed, insured crew that has been working Burbank's neighborhoods since 2016, you get the job done right the first time - without city fines, callbacks, or cleanup surprises.
