Family-owned tree care for De Soto's historic town and surrounding rural properties
De Soto, MO's Dependable Tree Trimming Company
From small in-town lots to larger rural acreage outside De Soto, our licensed crew trims trees with the reliability this town expects.
Tree Trimming for De Soto and Beyond
Sitting in Jefferson County with a historic railroad-town core and a more rural landscape spreading out around it, De Soto presents a wide range of tree trimming needs. In-town properties often have older shade trees on smaller lots, while homes further out sit on larger, more rural acreage with more extensive tree cover and less predictable access. RLB Tree Services works across both settings, adjusting our equipment and approach depending on whether a job is a single tree near a small-town home or a broader trimming project on a rural property. Our goal in every case is the same: healthy, safely maintained trees for De Soto residents, whether they live close to the center of town or well out into the surrounding countryside.
A Closer Look at Tree Trimming
Tree trimming, done properly, is a balance of removing what a tree does not need and preserving everything that keeps it strong and healthy for years to come. That includes clearing dead or diseased wood, thinning crowded growth for better airflow, and shaping young trees so they develop sound structure early. RLB Tree Services has refined this process over 43 years of work throughout Jefferson County, including De Soto and the more rural areas surrounding it. Every job is handled by a licensed and insured crew, backed by a satisfaction guarantee, and the owner personally oversees each project to keep quality consistent whether the job is in town or out on a rural property. Since becoming family-owned in 1981, we have built a reputation on reliability, and our bilingual staff ensures every homeowner can communicate clearly about the work being done on their trees.

Do rural properties outside De Soto need a different trimming approach than in-town lots?
Often, yes. Rural properties may have more trees spread across a larger area, less predictable access, and trees that have grown with little previous maintenance. In-town lots tend to be smaller and closer to structures, requiring more precise, controlled trimming. We adjust our equipment and crew size based on which type of property we are working on.
How quickly can you respond after a storm damages a tree near my home?
Our 24/7 emergency service means we can respond to storm-damaged trees as quickly as conditions allow, prioritizing hazards that threaten homes, vehicles, or power access. Once it is safe to work, our crew assesses the damage and removes or trims affected limbs to reduce further risk while restoring the tree's structure where possible.
What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but trimming generally refers to shaping a tree and maintaining its size, while pruning more specifically targets removing dead, diseased, or structurally weak limbs. In practice, our crews do both together, since healthy shaping and hazard removal typically happen in the same visit for most residential and rural trees.
