Tree Removal in Annandale: What to Know
Storms here are real. On September 4, 2026 a falling tree crushed at least three cars on Friar Tuck Court, and downed trees closed Sabra Lane. In April 2017, trees fell on homes on Lockwood Lane and Toll House Road. Next door, Wakefield was built in the 1950s and 60s, and trees there and across Annandale are big now.
Permits: Fairfax County, which covers Annandale, needs no permit to remove one tree on your own lot. Near Accotink Creek, Holmes Run or another stream, the tree may sit in a Resource Protection Area. Dead or dying trees there can come out with a free county waiver, sometimes with an arborist letter. Our arborists can write the arborist letters some rules require. Most tree contractors don’t have arborists on staff. We have a strong team of them. Near the house wire, Dominion will disconnect the service line for free so the tree can come down safely.
With our fleet of heavy equipment and cranes, we remove trees safely, even in tight spaces, while minimizing impact on your landscape, whether it’s storm damage, disease or a tree in the way of new construction. Every job follows strict safety standards. Tree removal includes hauling all the wood away, unless your proposal says otherwise. Every quote is a clear, detailed written price before work starts. Our customers often mention how detailed our proposals are. Call (703) 659-8733 or book your tree removal service online.
Annandale Tree Removal Questions
Thinking about taking a tree down in Annandale? Here are clear answers about permits, storms, neighbors and safety from the Grant Brothers Tree Service team. If you don’t see your question, give us a call and we’ll guide you through every step of your tree removal service.
Usually no permit is needed. Annandale is unincorporated Fairfax County, and the county doesn’t require a permit to remove a single tree on your own lot. A tree in a stream buffer (RPA) needs a free county waiver, and your HOA may have its own rules, so we check local rules before work begins.
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, so average arrival is under two hours. We secure the area first, then remove the hazard to protect your property.
Yes, we handle the entire storm damage tree removal process for you, from the trunk on the roof to the last branch in the yard. If a tree is on a power line, stay back and call the utility: Virginia law bars work within 10 feet of a high-voltage line until it’s made safe. For planned removals near the house wire, Dominion will disconnect the service line for free. 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.
The job is split. Near Annandale, the Lake Barcroft Watershed Improvement District removes the part of a fallen tree that’s in the lake, and owners handle the part on shore. We clear the shore side fast, with the same crew that handles dead ash and other hazard trees across Annandale.
Yes. Grant Brothers Tree Service is fully licensed and insured and follows ANSI A300 and Z133 safety standards on every removal. We take down trees for Annandale homes and for office parks, retail centers and government properties, with special equipment and scheduling that keep disruptions low.
We plan every cut, bring advanced equipment and protective measures, and send highly trained crews. That prevents damage to nearby structures, landscaping and utilities, even on tight Annandale lots with fences and sheds close by.
