Local & Insured
Amissville is the US-211 community on the eastern edge of Rappahannock County, Virginia, 17.6 road miles and 28 minutes northwest of Culpeper, at about 410 feet. In 1810 the Amiss and Bayse families each wanted the new post office; Amissville won by one ballot, and Thomas Amiss became postmaster on October 2, 1810. It joined Rappahannock County at the county's founding in 1833, and a cavalry fight at Corbin's Crossroads in November 1862 is its Civil War note.
The Thornton River and Battle Run drain toward the Rappahannock through cattle pasture, chestnut oak and hickory ridges, poplar hollows and roadside pine screens. Beyond a yard tree, Rappahannock County's building office handles paperwork.


Removal, stump grinding, trimming and clearing for the farms along US-211 and the Thornton River.




Why a Culpeper Crew Comes to Amissville
Amissville is the far end of our run up Route 229 past Jeffersonton, and we make it without a trip charge. Danielle pairs it with Jeffersonton and Rixeyville work.
The ground folds harder here and the ridges are rock a foot down. Chestnut oaks and hickories root shallow on it and tip in a wet wind; we look for lifted soil before storm season.
Tulip poplars along Battle Run and the Thornton grow tall and fast and shed big limbs. We take the hazard wood over the house and the drive first and leave the sound trees.
Amissville is unincorporated and falls under Rappahannock County. A tree on your own land is your decision; for land clearing we check with the county's building office first and tell you what applies.
We found none for a private tree. Amissville is unincorporated, so Rappahannock County ordinances apply, and its erosion rules follow the same Virginia program as Culpeper's. Ask the Rappahannock County planning or building office before large clearing, and mind the 4 PM Burning Law in spring. More in our permits guide.
If a chestnut oak on your Amissville ridge has lifted its roots or a streamside poplar is leaning at the house, call or ask for a free estimate. Storm damage gets an answer the same day or the next; routine work is usually booked within a week or two.
Type a town or ZIP, from Brandy Station to Sperryville, and see if our truck gets there.
