Clay sits in the wooded northeast corner of Jefferson County, where tall pines and hardwoods dominate properties that range from newer suburban homes to established neighborhoods built on rolling terrain. Storm damage, overgrown limbs, and hazardous trees are facts of life here, and our crews know Clay's landscape inside and out.
When a tree threatens your roof, blocks your driveway, or needs professional trimming, Birmingham Tree Service is the local call. We've been removing trees, grinding stumps, and clearing land across Clay and the surrounding Birmingham area for years. We're insured, and we show up ready to work.

Clay's wooded lots present real challenges. You've got water oaks, willow oaks, southern red oaks, and loblolly pines reaching 80 feet or more on properties with steep slopes, stone retaining walls, and tight lot lines. Power lines run along streets and rear property boundaries. Houses sit close to tree canopies, and after storms, we see plenty of split tops, hanging limbs, and whole trees down across driveways and structures.
Our team understands the terrain. We know how to work safely on slopes, navigate narrow driveways, protect your home and your neighbor's property, and coordinate with utility companies when power lines are involved. We've handled emergency removals after ice storms and wind events that hit Clay hard. We also know that many properties in Clay's older neighborhoods and newer subdivisions require permits or HOA approval before work begins, and we help you navigate those rules.

How a Job Works in Clay
You call us at (205) 852-3406 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site visit to look at the tree, assess access, check for power lines or structures nearby, and understand what you need. We give you a clear estimate and timeline with no surprises.
On the day of work, our crew arrives with the right equipment. For removals, we fell the tree safely, cut it into manageable sections, and haul debris away. For trimming and pruning, we shape the canopy to improve health and clearance. For stumps, we grind them below grade so you can replant or build. On tight Clay lots, we pay extra attention to protecting fences, driveways, and neighboring properties, and we work around power lines with respect and care.
We leave your property clean. Debris is hauled away, the area is raked, and we walk through with you to make sure the job is done right.
Tree removal in Clay typically starts around $500 for smaller trees and ranges into the thousands for large oaks or pines with complicated access or proximity to structures. Tree trimming and pruning runs from $250 and up, depending on tree size, height, and how much work is needed. Stump grinding starts at $150. Land clearing and emergency removals are quoted based on the scope of work. The biggest factors in price are tree size, species, how easy it is to access and remove the tree safely, whether power lines or buildings are nearby, and how much debris needs to be hauled. Call us at (205) 852-3406 for a free estimate. We'll give you a realistic number based on what we see at your property.
