Emergency tree removal is available 24/7 across Burke for fallen trees, storm damage, or hazardous limbs, like the ones the June 22, 2026 microburst dropped near Lake Royal. We respond quickly, faster than anyone else, remove threats safely, and restore peace of mind. No delays, no guesswork, just expert care when it matters most.
Our tree removal experts handle hazardous, dead, or unwanted trees using safe techniques and the right equipment in accordance with ANSI z133 safety standards. From tight Burke Centre townhome yards to wooded lots near Burke Lake, we professionally protect your property and ensure fast and clean removal.
Tree trimming and pruning improves safety, encourages healthy growth, and enhances curb appeal for the red maples, beeches and tulip poplars common across Fairfax County. Our certified arborists remove deadwood, reduce risk, and shape your trees with precision using industry-approved methods for long-term health and structure.
Our plant health care and tree cabling services provide structural support and promote tree health, from storm-stressed canopies to beech trees facing the beech leaf disease found at Burke Lake Park in 2022. We stabilize weak limbs, reduce risk, and apply expert techniques to preserve and extend the life of your valuable trees.
After tree removal, stump grinding reduces potential hazards and prepares your Burke yard for new landscaping, and in Burke Centre, front-yard stumps must be removed or ground below grade. We grind stumps and clean up all debris so your outdoor space is clear and usable again, free of eyesores.
Our land clearing services remove trees, brush, and debris to prepare your site for construction or landscaping. We clear Burke lots safely and efficiently, plan around the county’s 2,500-square-foot rule and stream buffers, and minimize impact to surrounding areas with real environmental care.
We provide complete tree service in Burke, including trimming and pruning, removal, stump grinding, and preventative care, from Burke Centre to Lake Braddock. Every job is handled with attention to safety, quality, and professionalism to protect your property and promote healthy growth.

Tree Removal in Burke VA: What to Know
Burke knows storm damage. On June 22, 2026, the National Weather Service found a microburst with winds near 90 mph on a path about a mile long and up to 500 yards wide near Lake Royal. Trees fell onto cars, power lines, roads and homes, and Guinea Road closed for downed wires and trees. The county later waived dump fees for storm-hit homeowners.
The county can’t make your neighbor act. Fairfax County can make an owner remove a hazard tree only if it threatens the public, like a road or sidewalk. Otherwise, a risky tree is the owner’s job, and the county suggests a risk check by a Tree Risk Assessor before removal. Our TRAQ-qualified arborists do exactly that.
Our professional tree removal in Burke Virginia protects your home, property, and loved ones from dangerous or unhealthy trees. We use advanced equipment to remove trees safely, even in tight spaces, while minimizing impact on your landscape, and every job follows strict safety standards to ensure precision and care. Storm damage, disease, or a tree blocking your plans for new construction: our experienced team provides fast, reliable solutions. Call (703) 659-8733 or book your tree removal service online with Grant Brothers Tree Service today.
Tree Removal in Burke VA: Permits, Storms and Safety
Have questions about tree removal in Burke? Here are clear answers about Fairfax County tree laws, Burke Centre’s HOA rules, emergencies, power lines and cost. If you don’t see your question, give us a call. We’re ready to guide you through every step of your tree removal service.
Usually not. Burke follows Fairfax County tree laws, and the county has no permit for removing one tree on your own lot. The exceptions are clearing about 2,500 square feet or more, trees in a stream buffer (RPA), and HOA rules. In an RPA, a dead or dying tree needs a free county waiver that takes about 5 business days and may need a Certified Arborist letter. Our arborists can write the arborist letters some rules require. We can guide you on local regulations in Burke, Fairfax, McLean, Ashburn and nearby, so your tree removal follows all rules before work begins.
For most trees, yes. Burke Centre’s 2026 rules require ARB approval to remove a tree 4 inches or wider that stands more than 15 feet from your house, garage or deck. Measure the trunk 12 inches above the ground. A tree closer than 15 feet that causes problems can come down without prior approval if the stump is removed or ground below grade and the area is restored. Uprooted, badly leaning or split trees can come down first. Take photos before removal and apply afterward. The ARB asks for evaluations by certified experts, which our arborists can write.
We respond faster than anyone else: we often answer within minutes, a crew is usually on the way within 15 minutes, and we’re typically on-site within 1-2 hours. Our emergency tree removal in Burke VA has average arrival times under two hours. We prioritize safety, secure the area, and remove the hazard. We also handle the entire storm damage tree removal process for you.
Yes, with the right steps. If a tree is on a wire, stay back and call Dominion at 1-866-366-4357. We coordinate with Dominion or NOVEC when it’s needed. We check whether a tree is within the utility’s minimum approach distance, and depending on your project we can sometimes arrange for Dominion to remove part or all of a tree near its lines at no cost to you. Dominion will also disconnect the service line to your house at no cost so a tree can come down safely.
Every tree is different. The price depends on the tree’s size and condition, how close it is to your house or wires, how easy it is to reach, whether we need a crane, and whether you want the stump ground. Every quote is a clear, detailed written price before work starts. Our customers often mention how detailed our proposals are. Tree removal includes hauling all the wood away, unless your proposal says otherwise. When we can fit it in, we can usually grind the stump the same day. Grant Brothers Tree Service is fully licensed and insured and follows ANSI A300 and Z133 safety standards, so every removal is performed professionally and safely.
We use advanced equipment, protective measures, and highly trained crews to prevent damage to structures, landscaping, and utilities. When space is tight, our cranes let us lift trees out in sections. We bring the same care to larger-scale commercial removals for office parks, retail centers, and government properties, with special equipment and scheduling that keep disruptions low.
