What we do
Removal, thinning and reduction – and everything around it
Most calls are about one of three things: a tree that has to come down, a tree that is too heavy, or a tree that has grown too big for its spot. We do all three, and the cleanup is always part of the job.
- Dead & Dangerous TreesDead pines, rotten oaks, cracked or leaning trees – assessed honestly and taken down before they fall on their own.
- 24-Hour Storm ServiceA tree on the house or across the driveway? Call day or night – we make it safe first and clean up after.
- Crane RemovalsBig trees over the house or in a backyard with no access, lifted out section by section over the roof.
- Tree PruningDead limbs out, roof and driveway cleared, canopy raised – cuts made where the tree can heal.
- Stump GrindingOld stumps ground out below the grass line, so you can mow over the spot, plant or pour a patio.
- Land ClearingOvergrown lots, privet and brush cleared, trees and stumps taken out, ground left ready to build or plant.
Our story
Started the day a hurricane came through Birmingham
On October 4, 1995, Hurricane Opal brought down trees across the Birmingham area. Wesley Jones was a college student. He picked up a saw to help his neighbors dig out – and to pay for school – and found out that safe, careful tree work is a craft worth doing well.
Thirty years later RJ Tree Service is still a family business in Homewood. Wesley does the estimates himself and works on the jobs together with his son. Customers call us back for years, and they tell their neighbors.

Reviews
What our neighbors say about us
We recently had RJ's Tree Service clear our large yard, which was overrun with privet and other nuisance brush, and we couldn't be happier with their service. From the very beginning, Wesley and his team were incredibly attentive, carefully listening to our specific needs and offering expert advice to ensure the best outcome for our property.
I can’t say enough good things about them. Very friendly, efficient and quick with the getting what I needed done. I’ve used them 3 times now on a variety of tree & brush issues around the house. From the ease of doing the work, great customer service, and just being down to earth and personable; RJ Tree is in my phone for all things trees. I’ve used 2 different tree companies beforei discovered them.
We have never met a finer group of people who want to do the right thing to really take care of people. We had house/tree damage due to a tornado. Wesley came first thing that morning and took the best care of us making sure the hole in the house is covered and that we had access to leave. He cleared all the tree chaos - and there was A LOT OF CHAOS - and treated our property like it was his.
