From the Douglas-firs on Burnaby Mountain to the boulevard maples around Metrotown, Burnaby's varied terrain and microclimates reward arborists who really know the local canopy. Of the 13 tree-care companies listed in Burnaby on treelist.ca, these three stand out for certified expertise, strong reviews and a careful, preservation-minded approach.
Roots & Connections is a family-run company with an experienced arborist crew handling residential and commercial work across Burnaby. Their specialties are tree assessments, pruning and removals, and they run a 24/7 emergency line for storm damage and dangerous trees.
It's a polished, professional operation that has quickly become one of the city's most recommended.
Linden Tree Care has tended Burnaby's urban canopy for over 15 years, with ISA and BC-certified arborists who specialize in safe removals and thoughtful pruning. A certified arborist visits each site to identify structural defects and lay out a measurable plan, right down to branch-reduction percentages and follow-up schedules, and the team knows the local species, from hillside Douglas-fir to Metrotown boulevard maples.
They carry liability insurance and WorkSafe coverage, and prioritize preserving mature trees wherever possible.
A-BBY Landscape is a locally owned company that has served Burnaby, Vancouver and parts of New Westminster since 2008. It's a full-service landscape outfit offering both maintenance and installation for residential and commercial properties, including the tree and hedge upkeep that goes with ongoing grounds care.
If you want one company to handle the whole yard, not just a single tree, A-BBY's broader landscaping focus is a practical fit.
Final Thoughts
For certified, highly reviewed tree work, Roots & Connections and Linden Tree Care are both excellent, Roots for award-winning, 24/7 responsiveness, Linden for measured, preservation-first care from long-tenured arborists. A-BBY suits homeowners who'd rather hand off the whole property to one landscaping company. With any of them, confirm certification and insurance, and check Burnaby's tree bylaw before removing a protected tree.
