From storm-damaged trees to tree trimming or stump removal, our team provides skilled, reliable service. With our knowledge of the local climate, soil, and plant varieties, we know exactly what it takes to keep Arlington trees thriving year-round.
When a tree becomes a hazard or simply needs to come down, our Arlington team handles the job safely and efficiently. Using specialized equipment and proven techniques, we tackle everything from small backyard removals to large, challenging trees in tight spaces. Arlington homeowners rely on us for situations like:
- Arlington County properties where street trees, alleys, and tight lot lines limit the drop zone
- Removals in tight backyards where the only access is a side gate or an alley
- Trees over a pool, deck, shed, or a neighbor's fence that have to come down in sections
- Large trees growing into a roof line, gutters, or the service drop to the house
- Split trunks and weak V-shaped unions that open up after a summer storm
Keep your trees healthy, safe, and looking their best with expert pruning from Rock Creek. Our arborists carefully shape trees, remove weak or dangerous branches, and encourage strong, balanced growth.
Storms and accidents can leave trees in dangerous positions — that’s when you need help fast. Our emergency team is available around the clock to quickly remove fallen or unstable trees, protecting your home and property.
Local knowledge · Arlington County, VIRGINIA
Different state, different rules — Virginia is not Maryland
Arlington is in Virginia, not Maryland, and that changes the regulatory picture completely: Maryland's Licensed Tree Expert requirement is a Maryland law and does not govern work here, and Arlington County administers its own tree and land-disturbance requirements. We are licensed and insured to work in both states, which is not true of every crew quoting in this area — worth asking whoever else you get a price from. On the ground, Arlington means tight urban lots, alley access, street trees under county control, and very little room for a drop zone.

Arlington Tree Removal FAQs
How much does tree removal cost in Arlington, MD?
Tree removal in Arlington typically ranges from under $300 for small trees to $1,500+ for large or hazardous removals. What moves the price locally is tight urban lots, alley access and very little room for a drop zone, which pushes work toward rigging and crane-assisted removal. Rock Creek provides free on-site estimates, so you get a firm number for your specific tree rather than a range.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Arlington?
Arlington is in Virginia, not Maryland, which changes the regulatory picture completely. Maryland’s Licensed Tree Expert requirement is Maryland law and does not govern work here; Arlington County administers its own tree and land-disturbance requirements, and street trees are under county control. We are licensed and insured to work in both states, which is not true of every crew quoting in this area — worth asking whoever else gives you a price.
Do you offer emergency tree removal in Arlington?
Yes, 24/7. Arlington means tight access and almost no drop zone, so emergency work here is rigging-led from the start.
