I want to get rid of the weeds growing under my deck. I even have a small looking tree under there that is coming up from underneath.

Brenda I would suggest landscaping plastic, the thick kind. Not landscaping fabric that allows water through.
If you have a water issue underneath the area and I would suggest booking a few holes to allow water to drain through.
Vegetation killer
use Round Up, a weed killer or crawl under the deck and start pulling and cutting down weeds, pour vinegar on them after pulling. You can also buy a 1 year ground sterilizer, spray on in the area and for 1 year nothing grows. When using sprays, watch out for windy days, the product will drift on to plants and kill stuff we want to keep (wind drift)
I did not suggest chemicals due to having to reapply and it seems like a difficult spot.
Good luck!
