Culpeper County's local tree removal team.
Culpeper County's Own Tree Crew
A tulip poplar leader across the driveway after a July storm, a dead ash dropping limbs over the shed, a white oak leaning a bit farther toward the house each spring: Piedmont Tree Care Co. takes care of it with a small, insured crew based in Culpeper, not a Metro DC company. We work the town, the county and the edges of Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock.

Who We Are
Garrett Poole was raised on a cattle farm near Stevensburg and spent five seasons on storm-cleanup and line-clearance crews before starting Piedmont Tree Care Co. in 2017. That is why every job starts with rigging, comes down in sections, and gets a written price before it goes on the calendar.
Culpeper's big trees are white and red oaks, some older than the 1874 courthouse, with tulip poplar in the stream bottoms and sycamore along the rivers. Red clay that is sticky in March and rock-hard in August changes how roots hold, and the emerald ash borer has taken most of the local ash.
What We Do

Dead ash, storm-damaged poplars and leaning oaks brought down in sections and hauled off the same day. Details and Piedmont pricing →

Stumps ground below grade so you can mow right over them. Red clay and rock are hard on grinder teeth, so we bring the right machine. Details and Piedmont pricing →

Hazard limbs, deadwood and storm-prep thinning on poplars and pines, plus clearance off the roof, driveway and street. We never top trees. Details and Piedmont pricing →

Cedar-choked old fields, fence lines, pasture edges and building lots cleared, with the land-disturbing permit question checked first. Details and Piedmont pricing →

What to Look For
Most trees can stay. In the Piedmont, these are the ones we would look at first:
Inside town limits, anything hanging over a street or sidewalk needs at least 8 feet of clearance. We will check your trees against that during the free estimate.
Cost Planning
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Tree removal — small tree (under 30 ft) | $300–$700 |
| Tree removal — medium (30–60 ft) | $700–$1,500 |
| Tree removal — large (60 ft+) | $1,500–$3,500 |
| Stump grinding — single stump (by diameter) | $100–$400 |
Ranges are typical for Piedmont Virginia based on published industry cost guides; your written estimate reflects your specific tree and site. Storm jobs get their price at the tree, once we see the hazard. See the full cost guide or run the cost calculator.
Service Area
We are based in Culpeper and work the whole county, including Brandy Station, Stevensburg, Rixeyville and Jeffersonton, plus nearby towns like Remington, Warrenton, Madison, Orange and Sperryville.
Just past the map? Call us and we will tell you honestly.
Danielle runs the office and Garrett runs the crew. You will not get a call center, and the people who quote the job do the work.
Big removals near houses, barns and board fences should not become your liability. We show proof of insurance before any cutting.
You get the price on paper before we start, with no add-ons and no pressure. If a tree is fine, we will say so.
Derechos, ice storms and soaking tropical remnants all hit the Piedmont. A tree on the house or driveway gets top priority.
Local Roots
We have worked Culpeper one yard at a time since 2017, often under oaks that were already standing when cavalry fought at Brandy Station. We do not remove one lightly, and we do not leave a mess: burning in town takes a permit, the town will not pick up logs or big limbs, and the county sites take no brush. So it all goes on our truck.
Price follows the tree's size, condition and what is around it. Expect roughly $300–$700 under 30 ft, $700–$1,500 for medium trees, and $1,500–$3,500 over 60 ft. Storm removals are priced on-site after a look. The written estimate costs nothing.
No. Neither the town nor the county requires a permit for a tree on your own property. The town manager's consent is needed for trees on public streets, and clearing more than 10,000 square feet takes a land-disturbing permit. We sort out what applies during the estimate.
It leaves with our crew the same day unless you keep the firewood. Burning in town needs a permit, the town will not collect logs or limbs over 4 inches, and the county convenience sites do not take brush, so we haul or chip it all.
A tree you have been meaning to deal with or one that came down last night: Piedmont Tree Care Co. is one call away in Culpeper. We will schedule a free, no-obligation look.
Type a town or ZIP, from Brandy Station to Sperryville, and see if our truck gets there.
