Emergency tree removal services are available 24/7 for fallen trees, storm damage, or hazardous limbs. We respond quickly – faster than anyone else, remove threats safely, and restore peace of mind. We usually have a crew on the way within 15 minutes and on-site within 1–2 hours. No delays, no guesswork, just expert care when it matters most.
Our tree removal experts handle hazardous, dead, or unwanted trees using safe techniques and the right equipment in accordance with ANSI z133 safety standards. We professionally protect your property while ensuring fast and clean removal.
Tree pruning improves safety, encourages healthy growth, and enhances curb appeal. Our certified arborists remove deadwood, reduce risk, and shape your trees with precision using industry-approved methods for long-term health and structure.
Our plant health care finds what’s wrong with your trees and fixes the cause: tree health assessments, soil and leaf testing, lab diagnosis and written treatment plans. We also stabilize weak limbs with tree cabling to preserve and extend the life of your valuable trees.
After tree removal, stump grinding reduces potential hazards and prepares your yard for new landscaping. We grind stumps and clean up all debris so your outdoor space is clear and usable again – free of eyesores.
Our land clearing services remove trees, brush, and debris to prepare your site for construction or landscaping. We clear lots safely and efficiently while minimizing impact to surrounding areas and maintaining environmental care.
We provide complete tree service solutions including pruning, removal, stump grinding, and preventative care. Every job is handled with attention to safety, quality, and professionalism to protect your property and promote healthy growth.

FAQ About Tree Service in Fairfax, VA
Have questions about tree service in Fairfax, VA? Here are the ones we hear most. Don’t see yours? Call us. Our arborists will get you a straight answer.
In the City of Fairfax, often yes. Trees over 5 inches across need a permit on home lots over half an acre, in stream buffers, and in townhouse, planned or commercial areas. In Fairfax County, one tree on your own lot usually needs no permit. The exceptions are stream buffers, clearing over 2,500 square feet and HOA rules.
Yes, if it’s an immediate threat to people or property. Take photos first. Then tell the City and apply for the permit. Not sure? Call the City’s Urban Forest Manager at (703) 385-7930.
It depends on the tree’s size, where it stands and how we can reach it. Trees near houses or power lines, or ones that need a crane, take more time and gear. We give you a free estimate with a clear, upfront price before any tree removal starts.
We often answer within minutes, usually have a crew on the way within 15 minutes, and are typically on site within 1–2 hours. Call now, 24/7: (703) 659-8733.
Stay away from it and call Dominion Energy at 1-866-366-4357 (or NOVEC at 703-335-0500 if they’re your utility). Virginia law bars tree work within 10 feet of a high-voltage line until the utility makes it safe. We coordinate with Dominion or NOVEC when it’s needed, and depending on your project, Dominion can sometimes help at no cost to you.
In the City of Fairfax, report it on Fairfax City Resolve. On most county roads, call VDOT at 1-800-FOR-ROAD (800-367-7623). Call 911 if anyone is in danger. Trees on private property are the owner’s to remove, and we can help.
Red maples, tulip poplars, oaks and American beech are everywhere here. The biggest threats right now are emerald ash borer, spotted lanternfly and beech leaf disease, plus bacterial leaf scorch, which hits oaks across Virginia. Our plant health care catches problems early.
