Tree Removal in Herndon: What to Know
Storms hit Herndon hard. In the September 3-4, 2026 storm, Herndon Police reported three trees blocking roads, and Pembrook Street was closed at Worcester. In June 2025, gusts hit 66 mph at nearby Dulles Airport and trees fell on the Dulles Toll Road.
Know who makes the rules. Inside the Town of Herndon, any work on a tree in the street right-of-way needs a Town tree permit filed at least 48 hours ahead. Dead and fallen trees are exempt from the Town’s tree preservation rules, and the Town can order an owner to remove a dead or diseased tree that is a public hazard. On the Fairfax County side, one tree on your own lot needs no permit, but a tree in a stream buffer (RPA) needs a free county waiver.
We haul it all away. The Town won’t pick up trees or stumps cut by tree companies, so cleanup is part of our job. Tree removal includes hauling all the wood away, unless your proposal says otherwise. Near power lines, if Dominion serves your home, it will disconnect your service line at no cost so a tree can come down safely.

Our fleet of heavy equipment and cranes removes trees safely, even in tight spaces, with strict safety standards and minimal impact on your landscape.

Herndon Tree Removal Questions
Removing a tree in Herndon Virginia means knowing a few local rules. Below, Grant Brothers Tree Service answers questions on permits, storms, dying ash trees, power lines, safety, and costs. If you don’t see your question, give us a call. We’ll guide you through every step of your tree removal service.
It depends on who governs your lot. Inside the Town of Herndon, the Town’s urban forester must issue a tree permit for any tree in the street right-of-way (apply at least 48 hours ahead), and Town tree rules mostly apply during development and in stream buffers. Outside the Town, Fairfax County needs no permit for one tree on your own lot unless it’s in an RPA or part of clearing more than 2,500 square feet. We confirm the rules before work begins. Our arborists can write the arborist letters some rules require, like RPA waiver letters.
Get everyone away from the tree, and call 911 if anyone is in danger or a wire is down. Then call us. We respond faster than anyone else: we often answer within minutes, usually have a crew on the way within 15 minutes, and are typically on-site within 1-2 hours. Our emergency tree removal in Herndon VA averages under two hours to arrive. Storm debris on your property is the owner’s job, so we handle the entire storm damage tree removal process for you: we secure the area and remove hazardous trees to protect your property.
Yes. If a dead or diseased tree on your property puts people or property at risk, the Town can send a notice by certified mail. You then have 15 days to remove it, or the Town can do the work and bill you. Ash trees killed by emerald ash borer, a pest on the Town’s watch list, can become this kind of hazard, so calling us early keeps you ahead of a notice.
Yes, with the right steps. Virginia law keeps workers 10 feet from high-voltage lines unless the danger is handled first. If Dominion is your power company, it will disconnect the service line to your house at no cost so the tree can come down safely, and we plan the removal around it. 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.
Yes, Grant Brothers Tree Service is fully licensed and insured. We follow ANSI A300 and Z133 safety standards and use advanced equipment, protective measures, and highly trained crews to prevent damage to your home, landscaping, and utilities during every tree removal service.
Yes. Our fleet of heavy equipment and cranes lets us take big trees down piece by piece over homes, fences and tight yards. Residential tree removal focuses on safety, looks, and protecting your home; commercial projects for office parks, retail centers, or government properties get special equipment and scheduling to keep disruptions low.
