Our Tree Removal Process in Falls Church VA
Three Steps to a Safe Removal
Tree Removal in Falls Church: What to Know
Dying oaks and storms are big reasons Falls Church owners call us. The City of Falls Church warns that white and chestnut oaks are dying in significant numbers across Northern Virginia. Ash trees face emerald ash borer, which typically kills an infested ash in about 3 years. Storms hit hard too: the 2012 derecho cut power to 82% of the City, and on Sept 3-4, 2026 fallen trees closed Annandale Rd at Graham Rd in West Falls Church.
Our professional tree removal in Falls Church Virginia protects your home, property and loved ones. We use advanced equipment to remove trees safely, even in tight spaces, with little impact on your landscape and strict safety standards on every job. Storm damage, disease or a tree blocking new construction: we bring fast, reliable solutions. 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.

Falls Church Tree Removal Questions
Before a tree comes down in Falls Church, most people ask the same things. Do I need a permit? Who owns the street tree? How fast can you come? Here are clear answers on the tree removal process, safety and permits. Don’t see yours? Call us and we’ll guide you through every step of your tree removal service.
Usually not. Seven Corners, Idylwood, Pimmit Hills, Lake Barcroft and West Falls Church follow Fairfax County rules, and the county needs no permit to remove a single tree on your own lot. A tree in a stream buffer (RPA) needs a free county waiver, clearing over 2,500 sq ft needs a county permit, and your HOA may have rules. Our arborists can write the arborist letters some rules require, like RPA waiver letters for the county. Permit rules vary by county and city, so we guide you on local rules in Fairfax, McLean, Ashburn and nearby before work begins.
Usually not on a single-family lot. The City requires one for a designated Specimen Tree (granted only if it is dying or dangerous), for trees in a Resource Protection Area, and for trees removed in a building project under a grading plan. Commercial and multi-family lots need a permit for any removal, plus a replacement tree. Questions go to the City Arborist, 703-248-5183.
In the City of Falls Church, trees in parks and street rights-of-way belong to the City; On most Fairfax County roads, VDOT handles right-of-way trees. If a tree touches power lines, Dominion must make it safe first, since Virginia law bars work within 10 feet of high-voltage lines until then. For a tree near the wire to your house, Dominion will disconnect the service line for free so the tree can come down safely. 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.
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, with average arrival times under two hours. We secure the area and handle the entire storm damage tree removal process for you.
Yes. The City of Falls Church requires tree contractors to be licensed and insured. Grant Brothers is licensed and insured. We follow ANSI A300 and Z133 safety standards to ensure every removal is performed professionally and safely.
With a plan and the right gear. Our fleet of heavy equipment and cranes lets us take down large trees over homes and fences in controlled pieces, and highly trained crews use protective measures to prevent damage to structures, landscaping and utilities. Residential jobs focus on safety, looks and your home; office parks, retail centers and government properties get special equipment and scheduling to minimize disruptions.
