Tree service in Madison Heights and Amherst County

Madison Heights is a census-designated place in Amherst County with 10,893 residents in 2020. It's part of the Lynchburg metro area and sits just across the James River from the city, with Amherst, the county seat, and Monroe farther north.

Older homes, older trees

Many neighborhoods here date back decades and have big shade trees that have been growing over roofs and wires for most of that time. Large hardwoods with dead tops, trees that lost a leader in past storms, and limbs hanging over carports and outbuildings are common calls. Taking care of deadwood before a storm costs far less than cleaning up after one.

Rural property and fence lines

Farther from the river, the county gets more rural. Trees along fence lines, farm lanes and creek banks fall across fences and block driveways. Native ash, which grows mostly along creeks and streams in Virginia, is dying back here from emerald ash borer like everywhere else in the state.

Common jobs

• Removing large shade trees over older homes
• Cutting up trees that fell across driveways and fences
• Dead ash near creeks and lanes
• Stump grinding in yards and pastures
