Tree Removal Services
While our primary goal is to care for and preserve trees, there are instances when removal becomes necessary:
- The tree is hazardous, with structural defects that make failure inevitable. If located near buildings, walkways, roads, or utility lines, it poses a significant risk to people, pets, and property.
- The tree is invasive or threatens the health of surrounding trees and shrubs. Removing it can give competing species a chance to thrive and mature.
Our skilled team at Tree Service Shreveport is fully trained to safely remove trees with minimal impact on your property and can provide stump grinding upon request.
Emergency Tree Removal
Weak or unhealthy trees can fail without warning, often due to extreme weather. High winds, snow, and ice can snap branches or trunks, while heavy rain and ground saturation can cause trees to uproot and topple.
If you’re facing a tree removal emergency, contact Tree Service Shreveport. Our skilled team, equipped with advanced tools and technology, is ready to respond promptly and safely handle emergency situations.
Benefits of Professional Tree Care
Reduce Risk
Trees are valuable assets, but they can also pose risks. Our expert pruning helps mitigate hazards, such as removing dead or weak branches that could fall and damage property or harm individuals during storms.
Promote Tree Health
Encourage healthy growth and vibrant foliage by eliminating diseased, dead, or overcrowded branches. This also improves air circulation and sunlight penetration, essential for your trees’ overall well-being.
Enhance Property Value
Professional pruning not only ensures safety but also boosts curb appeal, enhancing the aesthetic and monetary value of your property.
Achieve Clearance Requirements
We prune low-hanging branches to ensure safe passage on walkways, driveways, and roads. Our services also address clearance concerns around buildings, power lines, and other structures.
Restore Tree Vitality
Storm damage or aging can diminish a tree’s appearance and health. Restoration pruning by skilled arborists can rejuvenate trees, bringing back their natural beauty and strength.
What to Expect When Removing Trees
Tree removal in urban and suburban areas demands precise planning and execution. Trees in these spaces are often surrounded by valuable landscaping, structures, and public access areas. Removals on commercial or public properties must account for walkways, driveways, and utility lines, ensuring the safety of people and surrounding property.
Safely removing a tree, especially a large one, requires skilled arborists and advanced equipment. The tools we select depend on your tree’s size, branch structure, and overall condition, as well as the unique characteristics of your property. Depending on the situation, we may use bucket trucks, chippers, or even cranes for larger jobs.
Our standard tree removal process includes:
- Safely dismantling the tree
- Chipping all brush
- Cutting the stump flush to the ground
Trust Tree Service Shreveport to handle your tree removal needs with precision and care.
After-Removal Services
Once your tree is removed, the next step is deciding whether to leave the stump or remove it. Stump grinding uses specialized equipment to grind the stump below soil level, typically from a few inches to as deep as 12 inches. While the roots remain, they will naturally decay over time.
Your arborist will discuss the advantages and considerations of stump grinding, as well as provide a cost estimate based on the stump’s size, location, and your specific plans for the area. Whether you envision planting grass, shrubs, or another tree, the depth and extent of stump removal will depend on the root system requirements of your chosen plants. Let Tree Service Shreveport help you make the best decision for your property’s needs.
Tree Risk Assessment
Let Tree Service Shreveport help you manage tree risks and gain peace of mind. A tree risk assessment is essential for ensuring the safety of your family, guests, pets, and property.
Our skilled arborists possess advanced expertise in tree structure, mechanics, and biology. They perform thorough visual inspections to identify defects or conditions that may pose a heightened risk. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we can also detect internal decay and hidden issues that are not visible from the outside. Trust us to provide a comprehensive assessment and tailored solutions to keep your property safe.
What You Can Do to Prevent Tree Failure and Damage
The best way to prevent tree failure is through consistent care and maintenance by skilled arborists and trained professionals—starting as early in the tree’s life as possible. While no tree is completely immune to the unpredictable forces of nature, healthy and well-maintained trees are far more resilient in adverse conditions. Regular inspections and proactive care can make all the difference. Trust Tree Service Shreveport to keep your trees strong and thriving.
