Tree Care and Maintenance
RLB Tree Service has been caring for St. Louis trees since 1981 — 45 years of pruning, shaping, and protecting everything from backyard shrubs to full-grown shade trees.
Reliable & Trusted Tree Care & Maintenance
We're a family-owned crew, not a national franchise, and it shows in how closely we look at each tree before we touch it.
Good tree care isn't a once-and-done job. It's regular pruning, seasonal attention, and catching small problems — dead limbs, disease, overcrowding — before they become expensive ones. That's what this page is about: the ongoing maintenance work that keeps your trees healthy and your property safe, from dead wood removal to fruit tree pruning to seasonal storm prep.
We offer discounts for military, veterans, seniors, first responders, and first-time homebuyers, and every estimate is free. Tell us what's going on with your trees, and we'll tell you straight what they need.

Dead Wood Removal
Dead and broken limbs don't heal — they just get more dangerous. We spot dead wood before it drops on a roof, a fence, or a person, and remove it cleanly without harming the rest of the tree. See how dead wood removal works.
Fruit Tree Pruning
An unpruned fruit tree still grows — it just stops producing well. We prune apple, pear, peach, cherry, and plum trees for better sunlight, airflow, and yield, so your backyard orchard actually produces. Learn about fruit tree pruning.
Ornamental Pruning
Your ornamental trees, hedges, and flowering shrubs are part of your landscape's first impression. We shape and thin them for a cleaner look and healthier growth, from formal hedges to Japanese-style pruning.
Seasonal Tree Care
Trees need different care in April than they do in November. We adjust pruning, pest control, and storm prep to the season, so your trees stay strong all year. See our seasonal tree care plans.
Tree Removal and Cutting
Not every problem tree needs to come all the way out. We handle routine cutting, trimming, and property clearing alongside full tree removal, so you get the right amount of work — not more. Learn more about tree removal and cutting.
