Our Tree Services in Ferrum, VA

We offer comprehensive tree services for both residential and commercial clients. Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, want to clean up your yard, or need a hazardous tree removed, we’ve got you covered.

Tree Removal

When a tree becomes a hazard—or simply stands in the way of progress—it needs to come down safely and efficiently. We specialize in safe, controlled tree removal, no matter how big or close to structures the tree is.

Common reasons to remove a tree:

• Dead or dying trees
• Diseased or pest-infested trees
• Storm-damaged or leaning trees
• Interference with power lines or buildings
• Land clearing for construction

We use ropes, rigging systems, bucket trucks, and cranes when necessary to make even difficult removals safe and controlled.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Proper pruning not only keeps your trees looking great—it also promotes healthy growth and prevents hazards like falling limbs. Our experienced tree trimmers follow industry standards (ANSI A300) to make sure your trees are pruned safely and correctly.

We offer:

• Crown cleaning (removal of dead/diseased limbs)
• Crown thinning to improve light & airflow
• Crown raising (lifting low-hanging branches)
• Structural pruning for young trees
• Aesthetic shaping for ornamental trees

Routine trimming can prevent breakage, promote healthy structure, and extend your tree’s life—while also boosting your property’s appearance.

Emergency Tree Services & Storm Cleanup

Storms in Ferrum can hit hard—toppling trees, snapping limbs, and blocking driveways or roads. If a tree has fallen or is threatening your property, we offer 24/7 emergency tree service to respond quickly and safely.

We handle:

• Downed trees on homes, garages, or vehicles
• Trees tangled in power lines (we coordinate with utility providers)
• Dangerous limbs or trunks
• Post-storm debris cleanup

Don't risk your safety trying to handle a storm-damaged tree on your own—let the professionals take care of it.

Stump Grinding & Removal

After a tree comes down, the stump that remains can be a hassle. We offer fast, affordable stump grinding to get rid of unsightly stumps and prepare your yard for grass, landscaping, or construction.

Our stump grinding includes:

• Grinding below ground level
• Removal of root flares
• Surface regrading
• Hauling or on-site mulching options

Removing stumps also protects your yard from pest infestations and root rot that can spread to nearby trees.

Lot Clearing & Brush Removal

Whether you’re planning to build a home, expand a backyard, or clean up an overgrown property, we offer professional land and brush clearing services in Ferrum, VA.

We can clear:

• Trees and shrubs
• Overgrown fields and wooded areas
• Invasive underbrush
• Stumps and roots

Our team handles both small residential lots and larger rural or commercial properties.

Tree Health Assessments & Risk Evaluations

Not sure whether to remove a tree or keep it? We offer professional evaluations to help you make informed decisions about tree care.

We assess:



• Structural stability (leaning, split trunks)
• Tree health (fungus, pests, dieback)
• Root damage or soil problems
• Risk of falling branches
• We’ll give you honest advice and explain your options—whether that’s trimming, bracing, or removal.

Trees Commonly Found in Ferrum, VA

Understanding the local tree species is key to delivering expert service. Ferrum and greater Franklin County are home to a mix of hardwoods and conifers that each require different care.

Here are some common trees we work on in the Ferrum area:

• White Oak – Strong and long-lived, but may suffer from fungal diseases and root issues in clay-heavy soils.
  
  
• Southern Red Oak – Common in upland areas, prone to storm damage without proper pruning.
  
  
• Eastern Hemlock – Found near creeks or shaded areas, vulnerable to woolly adelgid infestation.
  
  
• Tulip Poplar – Virginia’s state tree; tall, fast-growing, but brittle and prone to limb drop.
  
  
• Sweetgum – Attractive fall foliage but drops spiky seed balls and can grow too close to structures.
  
  
• Virginia Pine – A native conifer that can grow quickly but requires thinning to reduce wind risk.
  
  
• Dogwood – A local favorite and Virginia’s state flower; needs careful pruning to avoid stress.

At Saw Dust Tree Service, we treat each tree with care based on its species, condition, and location.
