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.
Fast. Easy. Tree Services.
Tree Service in Burke VA: What to Know
Burke is not a town. It is part of Fairfax County, so county rules apply. You don’t need a county permit to remove one tree on your own lot, but stream buffers, clearing 2,500 square feet or more, and HOA rules are exceptions.
Many Burke homes have HOA tree rules. Burke Centre’s five neighborhoods (The Woods, The Oaks, The Commons, The Ponds and The Landings) follow the Burke Centre Conservancy’s Architectural Standards, which cover tree removal, stumps and pruning.
Storms hit hard here. On June 22, 2026, a 90 mph microburst tore through the Lake Royal area and dropped trees on cars, power lines, roads and homes.
A bit of history: in 1951, the government planned a second DC airport in Burke. Neighbors fought it, and it went near Chantilly instead and became Dulles Airport, not far from our Chantilly location today.
We keep Burke properties safe, healthy, and attractive year-round with expert tree care. Our ISA Certified Arborists handle tree removal, emergency tree service, pruning, and more. From shaping overgrown canopies to clearing hazardous limbs, every project gets precision and care from our experienced team. We use advanced equipment to work efficiently and follow strict safety standards to protect your home and landscape, for scheduled care or urgent storm cleanup, with results you can trust and without disrupting your day.

Tree Service in Burke VA: Common Questions
Here are the questions Burke homeowners ask most about tree removal, tree trimming, permits, storms and certified arborists. If you don’t see yours, just give us a call. We’re happy to guide you and make sure your property gets the expert care it deserves.
Most of the time, no. Burke is part of Fairfax County, not a town, and the county has no permit for removing a single tree on your own lot. You do need county approval to clear about 2,500 square feet or more or to work in a stream buffer (RPA). In Burke Centre, the HOA must approve removing most trees 4 inches or wider that stand more than 15 feet from your house, garage or deck.
Yes. Grant Brothers has ISA Certified Arborists on staff, plus TRAQ (tree risk) and CTSP (safety) credentials, and we are led by Virginia’s first ATCP-Certified Professional Arborist (#5 in the U.S.). Fairfax County recommends a Certified Arborist for tree problems and a Tree Risk Assessor before a removal. Most tree contractors don’t have arborists on staff. We have a strong team of them. We’re fully licensed and insured, and every job meets industry safety and quality standards, so you can trust our team to work safely and professionally on your property.
Fast. We often answer within minutes, a crew is usually on the way within 15 minutes, and our emergency tree removal in Burke VA typically arrives on-site within 1-2 hours. We specialize in storm damage tree removal, making the process easier and faster for you. Burke saw why speed matters on June 22, 2026, when 90 mph winds dropped trees on cars and homes near Lake Royal. We secure the area first, then remove the hazard to protect your property.
It depends on where it is. On your own lot, it’s yours to remove, and that’s where we come in. On HOA common land, the HOA handles it, but in Burke Centre a tree that falls onto your lot from common land is yours to clear. On most public roads, VDOT handles fallen trees (1-800-FOR-ROAD). If a tree is on a power line, stay away and call Dominion at 1-866-366-4357.
All of Burke, including the five Burke Centre neighborhoods, Lake Braddock, Burke Village, Lakepointe, Rolling Valley West and the Lake Royal area, plus Kings Park next door. We offer tree removal, emergency service, trimming, stump grinding, land clearing and plant care. We also serve Fairfax, McLean, Ashburn, Vienna, Leesburg, Sterling, and surrounding communities from our locations in Chantilly and Tysons.
Most trees in Burke Virginia benefit from trimming every 2-3 years to stay healthy, safe and well shaped. Our arborists can assess your trees and recommend the best schedule for your landscape. In Burke Centre, the HOA standards also say to take no more than about 25% of a tree in one pruning.
