No-Surprise Pricing on Every Job

Every estimate we give is a flat-rate written quote. What we put on paper is what you pay when the job is done. If something unexpected comes up once work starts, that's on us to manage, not a reason to add to your bill.

Workmanship Guarantee

We stand behind the work we do. If something isn't right after we leave, we come back and make it right. That's the only acceptable outcome.

On-Time Guarantee

We show up when we say we will. If the schedule ever needs to change, you hear from us in advance, not when our truck doesn't pull up at the agreed time.

Price Matching

Have a written estimate from another licensed and insured tree service? Bring it to us and we'll match it. We want to earn your business on the quality of the work and the honesty of the quote.

Military, Senior, First-Responder and Teacher Discounts

Discounts available for active military, veterans, seniors, first responders, and teachers. Mention it when you call and we'll apply it to your estimate.

Insurance Billing Support

When storm damage or a falling tree hits something covered by your homeowners policy, we handle the documentation side directly. Written damage assessments, itemized estimates, and photo records that adjusters can work with, without you being the go-between.

About Trees Crossing Tree Services

Trees Crossing Tree Services is a locally owned and family-operated business based in Rocky Mount, Virginia. We’ve been in business four years and the team brings 39 years of combined hands-on experience working trees in the Blue Ridge foothills, across Franklin County farmland, and throughout the Roanoke Valley. The crew knows the local terrain, the local species, and the kind of tree work that the region actually calls for, from storm cleanup after a fast-moving frontal system to technical removals in the tight backyards of older Roanoke neighborhoods.

We built this company around a simple operating principle: honest work, honest pricing, and no cutting corners on insurance, equipment, or job quality. The BBB A+ rating and the hundreds of satisfied clients we’ve worked with across Franklin County and the Roanoke area are the result of holding to that principle on every job, not just the easy ones.

References available from past customers across Rocky Mount, Roanoke, Forest, Moneta, and the surrounding communities. Just ask.

Why Franklin County and Roanoke Valley Property Owners Call Us

39 Years of Combined Experience in This Region

The crew at Trees Crossing has been working trees in southwestern Virginia for a combined 39 years. That kind of experience is not transferable from another climate or another region. It means knowing how Virginia hardwoods behave under ice load in February, how the clay soils in the Roanoke Valley affect root stability after heavy spring rain, and which removal approaches work on the terrain and lot sizes that define Franklin County properties.

Crane-Assisted and Hazardous Tree Removal

When a tree is too damaged to climb safely, too close to a structure for conventional sectional work, or simply too large to bring down without equipment, we bring in the crane. Crane-assisted removal means each section gets lifted off cleanly rather than dropped through the canopy, which protects your property and gives the crew the control that compromised trees don't otherwise allow.

Flat-Rate Pricing with No Surprises

The written estimate you sign is the number you see on the invoice. We build our quotes around a thorough on-site assessment, not a quick phone guess, which means the price we give you reflects the actual work involved. No add-ons once the saw starts running.

BBB A+ Rated

The Better Business Bureau A+ rating reflects a consistent record of business conduct, customer responsiveness, and complaint resolution. It's a third-party verification of the same standard we try to hold on every job.

Clear Communication from First Call to Final Cleanup

Every stage of the job has a clear point of contact. You know who is coming, when they are coming, what they are doing, and what it costs before any work begins. Questions get answered the same day. That clarity is part of the job, not a courtesy we add when we feel like it.

Specialized Equipment for Every Job Size

Chippers, dump trucks, stump grinders, brush hogs, and crane capability for the most demanding removals. Rural Franklin County and the mountain terrain around Floyd and Callaway sometimes require creative equipment staging and access planning. We've done it enough times to know how to get the job done without turning your yard into a recovery project.

Family Owned and Operated

Trees Crossing is not a franchise and not a regional chain. We live here, we work here, and we're accountable to the communities we serve. Hiring local means faster scheduling, real ownership accountability, and money that stays in Franklin County and the Roanoke Valley rather than going to a corporate office somewhere else.

Respectful of Your Property

Tree work is inherently messy but it does not have to look that way when we leave. We protect driveways, landscaping, and anything else at risk before the work starts, and we clean up completely before we go. Brush chipped, debris hauled, work area left in better condition than we found it.

Trees Crossing Tree Services Client
Trees Crossing took out 8 trees for us. Very reasonable price and extremely professional job. I had scanned the trees for birds' nests, but did not count on an owl's nest inside a hollow tree. They rescued a young owl and took it to wildlife rehab for us. Highly recommend!

Fully Licensed and Insured

Fully Licensed and Insured

Trees Crossing Tree Services carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance on every crew, every job. A current certificate of insurance is available directly from the carrier before any work starts. Ask for it. Any legitimate tree service will provide it without hesitation.

Workers’ compensation is the coverage most uninsured operators skip, and it’s the one that matters most to you as the property owner. If an uninsured worker is injured on your property, you can be held liable for the medical costs regardless of what you were told before work started. Our coverage protects you from that exposure on every job we do.

How We Protect Your Property During Tree Service

How We Protect Your Property During Tree Service

Before any equipment moves on your property, we walk the site and identify everything that needs protecting. Irrigation lines, landscape lighting, garden beds, hardscape, fences, and vehicles all get factored into how we stage the work. Rubber mats go down where heavy equipment has to cross turf or driveways. Limbs get rigged so they come down where we want them.

When the cutting is done, the cleanup is part of the job. Brush goes through the chipper, larger wood is hauled off or cut and stacked for firewood if you want it, and the work area gets raked and blown before we leave. The goal is to drive away and have you walk outside to a property that looks finished, not one that looks like a crew was there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Size, species, access, and proximity to structures drive the price more than anything else. A small backyard tree in a Roanoke subdivision is a different job from a large white oak on a hillside lot in Franklin County. The free on-site estimate gives you a firm number. Rough ranges are listed in the pricing section above.

In most cases on private residential property in Franklin County and rural Virginia, no permit is required for tree removal. Within Roanoke city limits, some situations involving street trees or historic trees may require permits. If your project is in an HOA-governed community, the association may have its own approval process. We will flag anything that applies during the estimate walkthrough.

Yes. Our emergency line is answered around the clock, every day of the year. For genuine life-safety situations, trees on houses or blocking access, we dispatch as fast as conditions allow. Emergency rates apply for after-hours response, but the No-Surprise Guarantee still holds: the quote we give on-site is the price you pay.

Yes. Franklin County and the terrain around Floyd, Callaway, and the Blue Ridge foothills involve slopes and rural access challenges that standard suburban tree services are not equipped to handle. We work on hilly terrain regularly and factor the access situation into the equipment selection and the estimate.

Yes. If you have stumps left from previous removals, or stumps from trees that fell on their own, we grind them as a standalone job without requiring a full removal package. Call for a free estimate.

Move vehicles out of the driveway and away from the tree. Clear portable items from the yard near the work zone. Secure pets and keep kids clear of the area during the job. If you have irrigation lines or underground systems, let us know their location before we start. Beyond that, the crew handles everything else.

As the root system decomposes underground, the soil above it gradually settles. This is normal and typically happens over two to five years depending on the size and species of the tree. If you are planning to build, pave, or plant in that area, give it time or have the root mass removed more completely before starting.

You can trim branches that cross your property line up to the line itself, at your own expense. If the tree falls and damages your property, your homeowners insurance typically covers your side regardless of whose tree it is, unless the tree was visibly dead or hazardous and the owner had been notified. If you believe a neighbor's tree poses a risk to your property, document it in writing to the neighbor. An arborist can provide a written hazard assessment if the situation escalates to a legal matter.
