Thrifty Tree Service does a lot of work for my neighbors, so I stopped to ask Cris if he could help me too. His team made a quick appointment in just a few days. They pulled a permit (did you know you need a permit to do tree work in Burbank? This is to ensure proper licensing and insurance.) A crew arrived…

I had a great experience with this tree company. The crew was professional, courteous, and arrived on time.

Job was perfect and fast. Pleasant crew that has a foreman who keeps everyone focused. Fast! Cleaned up my yard and left it as before. I took down a tree and they trimmed many others. They had to go to my neighbor to trim a large tree. Courteous. Left his yard clean. Would use again.

Have enjoyed using Thrifty Tree Service for multiple projects including annual bamboo trimming. They are very effective and the team also does a great job cleaning up afterwards. Dave is a great project foreman and is very helpful with answering questions. Their office is very responsive too. Will continue to use this company in the future!
