Signs a tree needs to come down
Not every problem tree needs to be removed, but these are the warning signs we look for during a free on-site assessment.
Dead or dying
Bare branches in summer, peeling bark, or mushrooms at the base mean the wood is decaying and limbs can drop without warning.
Leaning toward your home
A sudden lean, cracked soil, or lifted roots on one side are signs the root system is failing.
Cracked or hollow trunk
Deep splits, cavities, and rot weaken the trunk. These trees are especially risky during Gulf Coast storms.
Storm damage
Large broken tops, split trunks, or hanging limbs after a storm often leave a tree unsafe to keep.
Too close to structures
Trees rubbing the roof, crowding the foundation, or growing into power lines create ongoing damage.
Roots causing damage
Roots lifting driveways, sidewalks, or slabs, or clogging drain lines, sometimes leave removal as the only fix.
How we remove trees safely
Most removals in Lafayette neighborhoods can't be done by simply cutting at the base. Houses, fences, and power lines are usually too close. That's why we plan every removal before the first cut.
- We assess the tree and the siteLean, weight, decay, and what's underneath it decide the safest method.
- We take it down in controlled sectionsOur climbers and bucket truck remove limbs and trunk pieces from the top down, lowering heavy wood with ropes when needed.
- We protect your propertyLawn, beds, fences, and roofs are protected while we work.
- We clean up completelyBranches go through the chipper, logs are hauled off, and the yard is raked and blown clean.
What's included
Your price covers the whole job, not just the cutting. Here's what you can expect on every removal:
- A free on-site estimate with a clear, upfront price
- Removal by a crew working under Louisiana Arborist license #2856
- Protection for your lawn, landscaping, and structures
- Branches chipped on site and all wood hauled away
- Final raking and blowing so your yard is left clean
- Optional stump grinding in the same visit
What affects the cost of tree removal
We don't quote over the phone without seeing the tree, because these details change the work involved. Your estimate is always free.
Size of the tree
Height, trunk diameter, and the spread of the canopy set how much wood has to come down.
What's nearby
Homes, fences, pools, and power lines mean slower, sectioned removal instead of a single drop.
Access
Whether our bucket truck can reach the tree, or the job needs climbers and rigging, changes the approach.
Condition of the tree
Dead, hollow, or storm-split trees need extra care because the wood can't be trusted to hold.

Tree Removal questions
How much does tree removal cost in Lafayette?
Every tree is different. Price depends on the tree's height and trunk size, how close it is to your house, fences, or power lines, whether a bucket truck can reach it, and how much cleanup is involved. We give you a free, upfront price on site before any work begins.
Do you remove trees that are close to my house?
Yes. Trees near roofs, fences, pools, and sheds are some of our most common jobs. Instead of dropping the whole tree, we take it down in small, controlled sections using ropes or the bucket truck so nothing lands where it shouldn't.
Is the stump removed too?
Tree removal cuts the tree close to the ground. If you want the stump gone as well, we can grind it in the same visit. Just ask for stump grinding with your estimate.
Do you haul away the wood?
Yes. Cleanup is included. We chip the branches and haul away the logs and debris unless you'd like to keep some firewood.
When should a tree be removed instead of trimmed?
Removal usually makes sense when a tree is dead or dying, has a hollow or badly cracked trunk, is leaning toward a structure, has major root damage, or is simply growing where it will cause problems. If pruning can save the tree, we'll tell you.
