Removal starts with a licensed read of the tree, not a chainsaw.

Before the estimate

What to note before we arrive.

A few details before the estimate help the arborist plan the removal and quote it accurately.

  1. 01

    Note what the tree is near

    Roofs, fences, driveways, power lines, and neighboring property all change how a removal is planned.

  2. 02

    Describe the condition

    Leaning, cracked, hollow, or storm-damaged; what you can see from the ground helps the arborist prepare.

  3. 03

    Decide on the debris

    Hauled away, cut to firewood length, or left on site; you choose during the estimate.

  4. 04

    Request the estimate

    A licensed arborist reviews the tree, the access, and the surrounding structures before quoting the job.

Removal operations

What professional tree removal covers

Every removal starts with a read of the tree's lean, weight, and what is around it. Rigging and equipment follow the plan, not the other way around.

  • Large and hazardous trees

    Dead, dying, diseased, or structurally unsound trees removed before they fail on their own.

  • Trees near homes and structures

    Controlled, rigged removal of trees close to roofs, fences, driveways, and power lines.

  • Storm-weakened trees

    Leaning or cracked trunks brought down deliberately once the load is understood.

  • Crane and rigging removals

    Ropes, rigging, lifts, cranes, and loaders bring down sections that cannot simply be felled.

  • Tight-access removals

    Trees taken down in sections when there is limited room for equipment or falling debris.

  • Stump grinding

    The stump ground below grade once the tree is down, if you want the area cleared completely.

Removal answers

Frequently asked questions about tree removal

01 Can you remove a tree close to my house?

Yes. Louisiana Tree Masters removes trees near homes, roofs, fences, and other structures using rigging and controlled cutting to reduce risk to the property.

02 What equipment do you use for large tree removal?

Depending on the tree, the crew may use rigging, ropes, lifts, cranes, or loaders to control how each section comes down, especially near structures or power lines.

03 Will you haul away the tree debris?

Yes. Cleanup and hauling are available. During the estimate you can choose to have debris hauled away, cut to firewood length, or left on site.

04 How do you decide whether a tree needs removal or can be saved?

A licensed arborist evaluates the tree's condition, lean, decay, and location before recommending removal, pruning, or monitoring.

05 Do you remove trees near power lines?

Yes, with care. If a tree is touching a line, that hazard is addressed with the utility provider first; the removal proceeds once the line is confirmed safe.

06 Which areas do you serve for tree removal?

Tree removal is available across Lafayette, Youngsville, and the Acadiana parishes, with extended-service jobs planned per project outside that core area.
