Tree Removal Across the Rapidan in Leon, VA

Leon is an unincorporated community on US-29 in Madison County, Virginia, 9.3 road miles and 14 minutes south of Culpeper, the first Madison County stop after the Rapidan bridge. Madison County split from Culpeper in December 1792 and now has about 13,800 people between the Rapidan and the Robinson River.

Around Leon, cattle and hay ground rises toward the Blue Ridge on the same clay and rock as ours, with white oaks and poplars in the fence lines, walnuts by the farmhouses, and pine and cedar in idle fields. It is closer than much of our own county, and Garrett worked storm cleanup here for five seasons.

Why a Culpeper Crew Comes to Leon

What Leon Gets With Us

Fourteen Minutes Down US-29

Leon is a straight highway run and we pass it on the way to Brightwood and Madison. Danielle books estimates here within a few days, and crossing the county line costs you nothing.

Ground Garrett Already Knows

Garrett spent five seasons on a storm-cleanup and line-clearance crew across Madison County. He knows how the wind comes off the ridge here and which roads flood at the Rapidan.

Fence-Line Poplars and Oaks

Tulip poplars in a fence line grow tall and fast and shed big limbs in a thunderstorm. We take the hazard wood over the road and the barn first and leave the sound trees working.

Madison County Paperwork

Leon is unincorporated, so Madison County's code applies rather than Culpeper's. A tree on your own land is your decision; for land clearing we check with the Madison County building office first.

What Leon Homeowners Ask

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Leon?

We found none for a private tree. Leon is unincorporated, so Madison County ordinances apply, and its erosion rules follow the same Virginia program as Culpeper's. Ask the Madison County planning or building office before large clearing, and mind the 4 PM Burning Law in spring. More in our permits guide.
