11/10 would recommend. Mike gave us a very reasonable and honest quote that beat others we got. We had a diseased cedar in our neighbor's yard leaning over into ours and would have fallen eventually. It was a tough job because it was at the corner of four different properties with fences and drop offs. He and the crew worked quickly and professionally. They actually left the yard way cleaner than it's ever been. Beyond that, Mike is just a really good, genuine guy, and his crew was excellent. I hope we don't have to use them again, but if we do, I'd call him in a heartbeat. read more

Put together high winds, heavy rain and soft ground we then found a need for Stott's Tree Service when the tree toppled over. Carlos trimmed the tree like an artist and was able to replant instead of destroy. Thanks for coming to our aid. read more

We used Stotts at the end of last year to trim our jacaranda. They did a phenomenal job and were priced very competitively- very honest, hard working, and super respectful of our property (it was the holiday season and we had decor up). Will use again when the tree needs a trim and would refer anyone I know to them. read more

We had a great experience with Mike Stott Tree Service. I was looking for a service that wouldn't hack my liquid amber into a coat rack. I explained this fear over the phone and was assured that they do selective pruning. Mike and Carlos came for the estimate. Both were very knowledgeable. I also asked if they could prune my pomegranate tree which had grown out of control. Their estimate was very reasonable. We set up a time/date for the very next day. Carlos and his crew showed up at 8 am and set to work. I was impressed by how high in the tree this one crew member went (see photo) to prune the top. My tree was beautifully pruned - still keeping it's beauty and integrity. Still looking like the stately liquid amber that it is. The pomegranate tree came out great too. And we had them remove a few "tree of heaven" that needed to go. Very professional, friendly, reasonable, and they cleaned up and hauled it all away. Thanks Mike! read more

Stott's Tree Service - I was impressed by how high up this crew member went. Loved that they didn't butcher my tree! - Tree Services Near Me - Burbank, California

Mike and Carlos did a thorough initial inspection and I had the estimate in my hands by the time they left. They are the guys who are on site to supervise the work crew so information does not have to be repeated. The team arrived promptly, put down tarps and plywood to protect plants and other areas, worked steadily and clearly know what they are doing with 70-foot-tall trees. They took down 5 large trees, thinned 5 trees that had not been touched in 30 years, ground out stumps and cleared dense vegetation. Most of the work was on a 45-degree or steeper slope that is some distance from the street. They exceeded my expectations and did a more thorough and extensive project than I expected. They cleaned up after the work was done. And their pricing was better than two other quotes I got. Their service was excellent read more

I highly recommend Stott Tree Service! We had them trim and shape several big trees and the tall bushes that border our yard. Mike and Carlos came out ahead of time to give us an estimate on costs. The day of the work, the crew showed up on time and ready to work. Carlos was there every step of the work. He pointed out things I hadn't noticed and he did an excellent job of keeping me informed. Their clean up was outstanding. We will certainly use them for any future tree trimming work. read more

I call Stott Tree Service every year to trim my trees. I appreciate the communication from start to finish. I always know when they're coming, what I'm going to pay and I get a follow up call after to check in on my experience. Who does that these days? My trees are in great shape and everything is tidy when they leave. read more

Mike and his team are amazing, fast and efficient. Did what was promised, professional. I got three trees and one old stumped removed completely. Would definitely recommend if you need any type of tree removal from your property . Thanks again guys! read more

Second or third time getting work done by Mike and his crew. Did an outstanding job taking down our 60-70 foot tall palm tree from a tight space in our backyard, carefully lowering each section via rope, working with us on how much stump we wanted to leave, and cleaning up all the mess and debris. Cost was very competitive compared to other estimates. Highly recommended provider local to Burbank. read more

Mike Stott and his crew removed a large tree and trimmed three more for us. They were prompt, courteous, fast, and their estimate was very reasonable. Best of all, the place was cleaner when they left than when they got there! I'd use them again in a heartbeat. read more

Mike has been my go to for tree trimming for a few years now. I got some quotes from a bunch of places but Mike came in at the best price. Initially this had me worried at first because I was thinking I might be sacrificing quality. That was not the case, they were extremely professional and hospitable. He first trimmed my jacaranda tree in the front of my house. But after seeing their work, i hired them to get our other large trees in the back yard. Hire these guys! read more

Stott's Tree Service was excellent. I called and left a message and within 2 hours I was called back and made an appointment to come look at 8 trees and give me an estimate. Mike and Carlos showed up on Monday afternoon and gave me a quote to trim and shape all 8 trees which was beyond reasonable for all the trees which included a huge cedar and palm tree. They asked if Tuesday morning would be a good time to start and I said Yes. On Tuesday morning Stott's Crew showed up and in 3 hours knocked out all the tree trimming and shaping as well as clean up and haul away. Our place looked better than when my Gardner's show up and now and blow. Great Company, Great Owner, Great Crew. If you need any tree service work done Do Not Hesitate to call and have them give you a quote. You won't be disappointed. read more

These guys are great!! We've used them for maintenance tree trimming for several years, and they always do an amazing job. Most recently, they went above and beyond to help us get our house ready to sell, trimming all the trees and clearing out an over grown grotto area. Top notch service and communication! read more

I don't know why but at least for me trimming trees is like a trip to the dentist, necessary but not enjoyable, and kills my pocketbook. I've used a couple of tree services over the years but have never really been satisfied with them. They were not bad, just eh. and I always felt like I was getting totally ripped off during the entire process. I decided to give Mike Stott a try based on the fact that his name kept on coming up on several community pages when people asked about tree trimming. Immediately from my first conversation, I felt at ease. I like doing business with people who have been in Burbank for a long time. Mike was very friendly, and kept me informed about when he was able to come out with an estimate and also with his scheduling. I had the team out today to do the job (take down a rubber tree that was literally growing into my garage and trimming a very overgrown orange tree) and I can easily say, it was a very no nonsense, positive experience. Mike let me know exactly when they were showing up on the day of the job and reconfirmed everything with me. On the day of the job, Carlos and the crew came out and they were nothing short of amazing. One item that stood out, I have a 100 pound tortoise and they took extra care without me even asking to protect his heated house. They did the job in record time and explained how and why they trimmed the orange tree and it still looks great and has its canopy instead of just butchering it like many tree companies are prone to do. I can honestly say after their cleanup, my yard looked better than it did before. I think like many people I was using a somewhat smaller job to test the waters and see if I liked them and so when the job was finished, I took the opportunity to ask about several other trees in my yard. Carlos gave me excellent advice on them in terms of irrigation and took the time to explain how each tree would be trimmed and the reasoning behind it. I did not ask for this info, but I'm so happy he offered it up! I also liked that he told me which trees would be more important to trim sooner and why and told me which season to trim a particular tree in. All in all he helped me make an informed decision and I will for sure have them back after the first of the year to do another job! Needless to say, if you are looking for a dependable, honest, reasonable tree service, Mike Stott is your guy. read more

So impressed with the service. Not only were both Carlos and Mike kind and friendly, they were very knowledgeable. On the day of service, Carlos and team arrived at 8 am sharp and worked through the day to clean up my backyard. They removed out of control ivy and morning glory vines that were stifling my ficus trees in addition to trimming a few trees. They went above and beyond. Not only did they do the job but they did the job with pride. Really wished I reached out to this company earlier this year when I had other trees trimmed. Highly recommend! read more

I have been using the service since 2013. They are fantastic! Really know their business. Know exactly what needs to be done. Honest, Prompt. Survey your property first . Give you an estimate. They bring a full crew. Truck, clean as they go. The job is supervised. Some people may think that they are pricey, but the truth is you will get what you pay for with them. They are like arborists. Which is critical at my house I purchased a house with 2 eighty year old Magnolia trees that had been horribly trimmed prior to us purchasing the house. These trees should've never been planted in Burbank because of the amount of water that they need, but they were. And they looked horrible when we purchased the house. Because of their care, the trees are magnificent today and they corrected a lot of the horrible problems that the previous tree trimmers had done. And it is very important to get a company that actually know what they're doing and not someone that just took up tree trimming and will over cut your trees to the point that they're almost dead. Something serious to think about. Do you want someone that's going to cause damage and also the aesthetics look ridiculous when they cut too much of a tree down. And I always tip them because they deserve it! read more

We bought a new house with lots of trees WAY too close to the foundation, and some even damaging the roof. We booked with Mike Stott and they were very accommodating, willing to schedule on the weekend. It was a big job, so they brought 13 people out, and worked non-stop for 2 days cutting down 15 trees and trimming down a dozen others. They did no damage to the house and kept the yard relatively clean afterward. Mike made sure to check with me before trimming down anything not exactly specified in advance, and gave recommendations on what we should do as well. Recommended. read more

All I can say is that the nearly unanimous five star reviews for Stott Tree Service are well deserved. I recently had them remove a large tree from my backyard that was jeopardizing the house foundation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their work. Everything was done exactly as planned, with excellent communication throughout the project. I appreciate the great care they took so as not to damage the house or the surrounding plants. After the tree was removed, they ground the stump and removed the remaining surface roots to eliminate any tripping hazard. In addition, I had them prune an adjacent tree which had been badly crowded by the removed one, and they did a beautiful job on it. Both Mike and Carlos are very knowledgeable, and are obviously perfectionists in their work. Their crew is also friendly and highly skilled, and works extremely well together. I'll definitely be using Stott Tree Service again in the future, and highly recommend them. read more

I called MIke of Stott's Tree Service early this morning with May Day, May Day! A very favorite, but old tree just decided it was" done "and laid it's branches over the gate of my home! making it impossible to get out of front door! Mike came right away with saw in hand and cleared the top of tree away from gate! Later today his crew picked up the debris, cleaned up and later will plant a new tree for me when heat subsides! I have so much appreciation for Mike and his crew. I would give Mike and his crew a few more " stars" from the sky if I could! J.Prmm read more

Mike Stott Tree Service is a company I highly recommend. Mike the owner is on the job, very knowledgeable, and communicates everything several times to make sure you get what you want. Their price is fair, they are timely, and they leave your yard the as clean as they found it. They offer a menu of services that we found useful and helped us understand some of the trees and roots we have in our yard. Again, if you are looking for quality service... Call Mike Stott. read more

I had a tree in my front yard that was touching the house and disproportionally large. Last time I hired a company to trim this tree a few years ago they hacked it so much it was no longer an attractive tree and I was worried they had killed it. Carlos with Stott's tree service, on the other hand, did a very skilled and meticulous job. I could tell he was thinking about every branch they cut. He took more time trimming this one tree than the last company took to trim four. I was really impressed by the sense of pride I could see him take in his work. I believe Carlos said he's been trimming trees for over 30 years and it shows! I'll definitely be using them again. Oh and I got three quotes and theirs was comparable to the others. read more

I've used Stott's several times in the last five years, most recently to install braces on our leaning redwood fence and to trim large ficus trees along the side of our yard. Mike Stott is quite responsive when you contact him, and Carlos, who manages a tree-trimming team, is a tree whisperer--however much he trims a tree, it still looks attractive when he's done. They also plant trees and shrubs. First rate work. Five stars for service. read more

Very impressed with Mike and Carlos from Stott Tree Service. They were responsive for estimate, fair priced, excellent communication on scheduling. We needed a tree removed/stumped. Work and cleanup was done professionally. So refreshing to deal with a solid small business. Will refer or use again in the future. read more

Mike Stott is truly one of the best humans - a salt of the earth kinda guy! He has trimmed my trees for several years. This time I called him because one of my trees was being strangled by a large metal bracket which was holding up an awning in my yard. He removed the bracket and reconnected the awning. He returned on a Saturday a second time just to recheck it and because he had a creative idea to possibly make it work even better. He is an A++++ kinda professional. Could not recommend him more! read more

Another great job on our trees! Our yard looks fantastic. Thanks for the great service!!

Just used them for the first time and I am very happy. Mike was very responsive and delivered the firewood the next day as promised and on time. And the prices are really good. Great and friendly service and really good product. read more

Mike Stott and his team of guys did a great job for a reasonable price! I have a huge Magnolia, a Chinese Elm and a Cypress tree in my front yard. They got rid of all of the dead branches, trimmed the circumferences and shaped them all in a very clean natural way. They took all the branches and trimmings away with them as well as cleaning off the leaves, etc on my roof. I had a lot trimmed on my neighbors side of their driveway (because I am the Nice neighbor- Not them) and the Stotts team cleaned up their driveway afterwards too with brooms, blowers etc. Hire these guys. You won't be sorry! read more

Have to amend my bad review that Mike didn't return my request. My phone wasn't showing me his call-backs until I restarted my data and updated my voicemail. Sorry for the bad review. read more

Stott Tree Service did a great job in my yard. I had a large olive tree which they pruned and shaped. They were considerate of my neighbors home. They also repotted my focus trees taking care to place the pots in an attractive grouping. They trimmed my hedges and fertilized my garden plants. I am so happy I used this company. They aim to please! read more

When I was looking for a company to clean up and shape the yucca tree in my backyard, several friends recommended Mike. Mike is responsive, gets back to voice mails / messages promptly and came out to give me quote within days. His business partner Carlos came out today with a group of guys and within 1-1/2 hours, my yucca tree went from drab to fab. They cleaned up the tree, took all the dead leaves and branches out, shaped it nicely and took all the cut offs away. Everyone was polite, respectful to the property and they left the place cleaner and tidier than they found it. I highly recommend Stott Tree Service. I asked them for a quote to do an overall cleanup of both my front and backyard and hope we can get that done in the following month as I would love for them to do the job. read more

They did a great job on my enormous ash tree and their price was by far better than the other quotes from companies for the job. Our date for service had to be rescheduled a couple of times from their end. Mike is friendly, and communicates about the schedule. It is well worth the wait to have Stott's do the job. read more

They were fantastic from start to finish. We needed to trim back, re-shape, and clean up every tree on our lot. Mike and his team were prompt, quick, easy to work with, and did excellent work. Their experience shows through in every aspect of the job, from the initial estimate to the final clean-up. Couldn't be happier with them and my yard looks so much better after they were done. Great local company, and the first people I'd call. read more

Middle sized job: Two overgrown oaks (decent rain will do that), large shade tree, trim another away from the roof, removal of two stunted trees and an indescribable bush. We figured 3/4 of a day's work for a good crew. After quotes and no shows by two other highly rated companies (one of which we'd employed before, which was frustrating) we found and called Stott's, a local Burbank company. Mike and crew stopped by and provided a competitive quote the same day we called. Mike's bid was spot on. We scheduled a day, they showed up on time, took a few minor requests and adjustments from us in stride and got to work. The crew was efficient, checked in with the neighbors for access (the oaks were out of control, across properties), checked in with us to show progress and confirm a few minor questions. As they wrapped they cleaned up thoroughly, including the neighbors' yards and the street where the grinder was parked. Bonus: they cleared our gutters! They were more thorough than our regular mow and blow guy. As noted, pricing was fair and competitive for a skilled crew with attention to detail, and personable to boot. We got what we asked for, done right the first time. Add to that a local business and hiring Stott's was a great all around. Highly recommend Mike and crew for tree service needs! read more

Stott's Tree Service just finished up at my house and it looks terrific. great communication, reasonable price, the trees look great. About ten guys came in and handled a giant sycamore and a giant jacaranda in less than three hours. highly recommend! read more

Mike is a man of his word. Affordable pricing and one heck of a professional team working for him. The guys may look small but they sure know how to cut down an 80ft pine tree. Used Mike for stump grinding, ficus tree trimming and cutting down a huge tree. Bid came in under between a lot of companies. Carlos is also amazing. They ensured that the house was protected. Boards against the windows, cleaned up any messes and worked on the weekend. Highly recommend this company. read more

Excellent service and we are so happy with the results. Mike was very responsive. Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable in helping us with what we needed to do to fix our overgrown tree and ficuses. Very professional and cleaned up our yard when they were finished. Our yard looks so much better now and we will definitely be using Stott tree service again. Thank you! read more

We had a couple of the invasive Ailanthus Altissima (Tree of Heaven) trees on our property, whose roots had destroyed my paved patio and driveway, as well as sprout dozens of saplings a year, and with the strong Santa Ana winds knocking down my neighbor's tree into my Driveway and some shade trees in the back being off balance, it was time to call in the professionals! I met with several companies and in the end I am happy I went with Mike! While his quote was not the cheapest, his team spent the most time evaluating the property and discussing options. Mike is a straight shooter and his team is very professional, taking out 2 trees, grinding out the roots, and safety trims on two others! I am not concerned about the winds knocking a tree into my house anymore, and I have yet to see a new Tree of Heaven appear (a weekly occurrence before). Mike also checked in a few days after to make sure I was still satisfied with the work or if anything else came up. If you need trees trimmed or removed, and want an honest, professional crew, I recommend Stott! read more

Excellent!!! Mike and Carlos are so nice and take care of their clients so there are no worries. Mike had to reschedule, but instead of not bothering to tell me, he politely and professionally called me and we worked out a better date. These guys trimmed my trees and ground down my stumps expertly like nothing was ever there. Perfect! read more
