5 Best Tree Service Companies in Jackson, MS

There is no shortage of tree crews in the Jackson metro, but there is a big gap between the ones that show up, do clean work, and haul off every last branch, and the ones that leave you chasing them for a callback. Below are five companies we would trust with a tree in Hinds, Rankin, or Madison County, with a preview of each site so you know exactly who you are calling.

Full disclosure: we are Jackson Tree Pros, and yes, we put ourselves on this list. We also included four established competitors with real crews, real reviews, and real websites, because if we are booked out during storm season, these are the names we would point a neighbor toward. Every company below is licensed, insured, and actually local to the metro.

How we ranked them

We weighted the things that actually matter when a tree is over your roof: years in business, review depth and rating, the range of work each crew handles, and whether they give a clear written estimate with cleanup included. We researched the current Jackson, MS search results, cross-checked reviews on Google, Yelp, and the BBB, and left off any listing that was a bare directory page or had no working site.

1. Barone's Tree Pros

Based in Brandon and serving the whole east metro, Barone's has 40-plus years behind it, a licensed tree surgeon on staff, and one of the deepest review counts of any crew in the area. They are members of the TCIA and ISA, and they handle everything from delicate pruning to full removals with a Bobcat and bucket truck. If you want the most established name on this list, this is it.

Best for: homeowners who want a decades-old crew with arborist credentials. Visit Barone's Tree Pros.

2. Jackson Tree Pros

That is us. We are a local crew covering Jackson and the surrounding metro across Hinds, Rankin, and Madison counties, and we lead with the two things people call about most: tree removal and storm-damage response. We also handle trimming and pruning, stump grinding, and lot clearing. Every job gets a free, written estimate with a firm price before we start, and full debris cleanup is included, so the yard is left cleaner than we found it. Licensed, insured, and local.

Best for: fast, no-surprise removals and storm cleanup with the price in writing up front. Get a free estimate or call (601) 821-1986.

3. A-1 Discount Tree & Lawn Service

A family-run, full-service outfit off Utica Avenue with more than 30 years in the metro and a strong Google rating built on well over a hundred reviews. Because they do lawn care alongside tree work, they are a solid pick if you want removal, trimming, and ongoing yard maintenance handled by one crew. They also run emergency and storm-damage service across Hinds, Madison, and Rankin.

Best for: combining tree removal with regular lawn and property upkeep. Visit A-1 Discount Tree & Lawn.

4. Heritage Tree Services

Run out of Clinton and serving the greater Jackson area, Heritage has built a near-perfect review reputation on clean, honest work. They cover the full menu: emergency service, removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, and debris cleanup. Two things stand out in their promise, a guarantee you will never pay more than the quoted price and a thorough cleanup every time, plus a military discount.

Best for: homeowners who want a quote they can count on and a spotless cleanup. Visit Heritage Tree Services.

5. Big John's Tree Service

A well-known name across Madison, Brandon, and Jackson, Big John's handles removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, and lot clearing, with 24-hour emergency service when a tree comes down at the wrong time. They cover a wide stretch of the metro, so they are worth a call if you are out toward the Reservoir or Gluckstadt where some crews will not travel.

Best for: north-metro homeowners who need broad coverage and after-hours emergency help. Visit Big John's Tree Service.

How to choose the right one for your job

Any crew on this list can handle a routine trim. The differences show up on the hard jobs. Before you book, do three things:

• Ask for proof of insurance. A tree over your house is the wrong place to find out a company is not covered. Every company here is insured, but always confirm it in writing.
• Get the price in writing. A real estimate lists the tree, the cleanup, and the stump if you want it gone. If a company will not put a firm number on paper, keep calling.
• Confirm cleanup is included. Hauling and stump grinding are where surprise line items hide. We fold full cleanup into our quotes so it is never a surprise.

Local factors matter here too. The metro is full of tall loblolly pines that drop tops in summer storms, and the region's Yazoo clay shifts as it dries, leaving trees leaning. If you are seeing warning signs, read Yazoo clay and your trees and what tree removal actually costs in Jackson before you call.
