Dependable tree care for Lemay's riverside neighborhoods and older housing stock
Reliable Tree Trimming Services in Lemay, MO
From routine limb removal to storm recovery, our crew keeps the trees around your Lemay home safe, well-shaped, and free of hazards year-round.
Tree Care Rooted in the Lemay Community
Sitting along the river in south St. Louis County, Lemay is home to older, established neighborhoods where many trees have had decades to grow alongside the houses they shade. That kind of maturity brings real value, but it also means limbs can grow into power lines, overhang roofs, or develop weak points that go unnoticed until a storm rolls through. RLB Tree Services has worked in communities like Lemay for over four decades, and we understand the mix of older housing stock and mature trees that defines this part of the county. Our crews trim with an eye toward both appearance and safety, clearing deadwood, reducing weight on long limbs, and shaping canopies so they continue to thrive for years to come.
Trusted Tree Trimming and Pruning Service
Cutting back a tree the right way takes more than a chainsaw and a ladder. It requires knowing which branches to remove, how much of the canopy can be safely thinned in a single visit, and how a cut made today will affect growth years down the road. Our crews bring that knowledge to every job, inspecting each tree for deadwood, crossing branches, and weak unions before deciding on a trimming plan. We work efficiently without cutting corners, because a rushed job can leave a tree unbalanced or more vulnerable to storm damage. Every project is backed by our licensing, insurance, and satisfaction guarantee, so homeowners never have to wonder whether the work was done properly. From single ornamental trees to full-property canopy maintenance, we treat every job with the same attention to detail.
Why Lemay Residents Rely on RLB
Four decades of trimming trees across the St. Louis area has taught us how to handle almost anything a property can throw at us, and that experience shows in the quality of work we deliver in Lemay. We have been family-owned since 1981, which means the values that started this company still guide how we treat every customer today. The owner personally oversees each job to make sure it is done right, not just fast. Because storms and fallen limbs do not follow a schedule, our 24/7 emergency service is available whenever Lemay homeowners need it most. We also maintain bilingual staff to make sure communication is clear from the first call to the final cleanup, and every job comes with proper licensing, insurance, and a satisfaction guarantee.

Why are older trees near my house more likely to need trimming?
Older trees often carry years of accumulated deadwood, and their larger canopies put more weight on individual limbs. Over time, weak branch unions can develop that are not obvious without a close inspection. Regular trimming removes hazards before they become serious, keeps the canopy balanced, and helps an aging tree continue growing in a healthy, structurally sound way.
Is it dangerous to trim trees close to power lines myself?
Yes, trimming near power lines carries serious risk of electrocution and should always be left to trained professionals with the right equipment. Utility companies also have specific clearance requirements that a trained crew understands. RLB Tree Services approaches this type of work carefully, using proper technique and safety protocols to protect both the property and the crew.
How can I tell if a tree near my home needs immediate attention?
Warning signs include large dead branches, cracks in the trunk, fungus growing at the base, or limbs that hang noticeably lower than the rest of the canopy. Leaning that appears new is another red flag. If you notice any of these signs, it is worth having a professional inspect the tree before the next storm arrives.
