“Birmingham Tree Service really transformed our front yard. We had these overgrown hedges that hadn't been touched in years, and they cleaned them up beautifully in just one afternoon. The crew was professional and left zero mess behind, they even swept up all the clippings.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“Had a dead oak tree right by our driveway that was starting to lean. Called Birmingham Tree Service and they removed it safely without damaging anything. The whole job took about 3 hours with a crew of three, and honestly I was impressed how careful they were.”
Tree Removal
“Our backyard felt so much brighter after they trimmed back those big branches hanging over the patio. They shaped everything really nicely and the trees look healthier now. Definitely worth the investment.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“We needed to clear some trees and brush from the back acre before we could even think about what to do with the space. Birmingham Tree Service showed up with the right equipment and got it done in two days. The property looks totally different now.”
Land Clearing
“After they removed our old pine tree, we were left with this massive stump in the middle of the yard. Their stump grinding service made it disappear completely, ground it down smooth so we can actually use that space now. Really professional work.”
Stump Grinding
“Had to take down two large trees that were too close to the house. I was nervous about the whole thing, but the crew knew exactly what they were doing. They were careful, efficient, and the cleanup was thorough. Only small note is they were a bit later than the original window, but still got it done same day.”
Tree Removal
“Our maple tree was getting out of control and blocking the sun from the kitchen window. These guys trimmed it back perfectly, it still looks natural but now we actually get light in the house again.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Wasn't sure if the trees in our backyard were sick or just needed pruning, so I had them come out for a consultation first. Turned out one was diseased and needed to come down, which they did the following week. Really appreciated that they didn't just push us into unnecessary removals, they gave us honest advice.”

Birmingham Tree Service is your trusted local partner for professional tree care across Birmingham and the surrounding communities. Whether you're a homeowner in the historic neighborhoods of Highland Park and Forest Park, the upscale ridge properties of Mountain Brook and Homewood, the newer developments of Hoover and Vestavia Hills, or anywhere in between, our team has the expertise and equipment to handle your tree service needs safely and efficiently.
For homeowners searching for tree service near me in Birmingham, we offer comprehensive solutions backed by years of local experience. We understand the unique challenges that come with maintaining trees on the steep hillside lots, around brick Tudor and Craftsman homes, and near the mature oaks and pines that define our region's landscape. Call us at (205) 852-3406 or request a free estimate to discuss your project with a local arborist today.
When a tree becomes a hazard to your home, vehicle, or family, fast and reliable tree removal is essential. Large trees on Birmingham's steep residential lots present real risks, especially when they're close to rooflines, power lines, or driveways. Weakened trunks, split limbs, and root damage from our red clay soils can develop silently, turning a mature oak or sweetgum into a dangerous liability after heavy rain or wind.
Storm damage is one of the most common emergencies we respond to across Birmingham, Hoover, and surrounding areas. Fallen trees on structures, vehicles, or fences demand immediate attention to prevent further damage and restore safety to your property. Hazardous hanging limbs that threaten your roof or power lines are equally urgent. That's why Birmingham Tree Service offers 24/7 emergency tree service. If you're facing a tree emergency, call (205) 852-3406 right away. Our crews are equipped to handle complex removals on difficult terrain and around existing structures, and we carry full insurance on every job.
Whether you need a single hazardous tree removed or clearing work on a larger scale, we assess the full scope of the job, plan safe rigging and removal routes, and haul away all debris. Our fully insured team works with homeowners to minimize disruption to your property while delivering the safest, most efficient removal possible. Get a free estimate for your removal project and learn what to expect.
The cost of tree removal and other tree services in Birmingham varies based on several key factors: the size and species of the tree, accessibility from your driveway or yard, proximity to your home or other structures, and the complexity of the work involved. A large water oak on a steep hillside lot will cost more to remove than a smaller tree in an open yard. Work near power lines, retaining walls, or fences also requires additional care and planning. For a detailed breakdown of typical costs in your area, visit our pricing page or contact us for a personalized quote.
Beyond tree removal, Birmingham Tree Service provides a full range of tree and land care services. Stump grinding removes unsightly stumps and opens up yard space for landscaping or new plantings. Tree trimming and pruning keeps your mature oaks, pines, and maples healthy, improves sight lines, and reduces storm risk. We also offer land clearing for new construction or property development, hedge trimming and shrub care, and arborist consultation for property planning and tree health assessments.
Many cities and municipalities in the Birmingham area require permits for tree removal, particularly when trees exceed a certain size or are designated as protected heritage species. Oak trees, in particular, may fall under local ordinances in some neighborhoods and HOA communities. Property line rules can also affect work on trees that overhang from a neighbor's lot. Before scheduling removal, it's wise to check with your local building department to understand what permits or approvals may apply to your project.
Birmingham Tree Service can advise you on the permit process and requirements for your specific property. Our team works with local regulations regularly and can help guide you through any necessary steps. Contact us for a free estimate and we'll discuss permitting as part of your project planning.
