Tree Care in Burbank, CA

If you're looking at the mature trees in your Burbank yard, you're likely seeing the landscaping choices made when your home was built. In the 1940s and 50s, builders often planted fast-growing trees like Silver Maple or Eucalyptus for quick shade and curb appeal. The problem is these species have weak wood or aggressive roots that are now causing issues 80 years later. You can't see inside a tree from the outside, and the cracking or leaning you notice today likely started as internal decay years ago. In our warm-marine climate with 3.6 storm events a year, that makes a large, mature tree a significant liability if it wasn't the right species for the space to begin with.
