After the winds die down, the real work begins. Our storm damage cleanup service covers everything from removing fallen trees and clearing debris to assessing remaining trees for hidden damage that could cause problems weeks or months later. We serve LaPlace and the surrounding parishes with fast, thorough post-storm restoration.
Hurricane season in Southeast Louisiana runs from June through November, and severe thunderstorms can strike any time of year. Our crews have handled the aftermath of major hurricanes and know that thorough cleanup goes far beyond cutting up what fell. Identifying cracked trunks, compromised root plates, and hanging deadwood prevents dangerous secondary failures.

Complete removal of fallen trees, broken limbs, and storm debris from your property with full hauling and disposal.
Safe removal of cracked, broken, and dangling branches caught in the canopy that could drop without warning.
Professional inspection of surviving trees to identify hidden structural damage and prevent future failures.

Our tree care services extend well beyond LaPlace. We serve homeowners and commercial properties throughout the River Parishes and the greater New Orleans metro area. From the historic live oak corridors of Destrehan to the growing neighborhoods of Kenner and Metairie, our crews travel with fully equipped trucks ready to handle any tree care challenge. Whether you are in Jefferson Parish, St. Charles Parish, Ascension Parish, or Lafourche Parish, you get the same professional service, transparent pricing, and local expertise that has made us a trusted name in LaPlace.
We offer a complete range of tree care services designed for the unique demands of Southeast Louisiana properties. From safe tree removal and precision trimming to emergency storm response and certified arborist assessments, every service is backed by local expertise, proper insurance, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tree Care can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Tree service costs in LaPlace vary based on the size of the tree, accessibility, and type of work needed. A standard trimming job typically runs between $250 and $800, while full removals can range from $500 to $3,000 or more for large live oaks or storm-damaged trees. We provide free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
St. John the Baptist Parish may require permits for removing certain trees, especially those near roadways or in protected zones. Regulations can vary depending on the size and species of the tree. Our crew handles the permit research for every job and will let you know if any approvals are needed before we start cutting.
Warning signs include large dead branches hanging in the canopy, visible cracks or splits in the trunk, fungal growth near the base, root heaving, and a noticeable lean that has developed recently. In Southeast Louisiana, trees that survived hurricane damage may have hidden structural weakness. If anything looks off, a professional assessment is the safest next step.
Late winter through early spring is ideal for most species in Southeast Louisiana because trees are dormant and it is easier to see the branch structure. However, dead or hazardous limbs should be removed any time of year. We also recommend a pre-hurricane-season trim between March and May to reduce wind load before storm season hits in June.
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response for storm-damaged trees throughout the LaPlace area and surrounding parishes. Our crews are experienced with hurricane aftermath cleanup and prioritize situations involving trees on structures, blocking roadways, or threatening utility lines. Call us any time and we will get a crew to your property as quickly as conditions allow.
Most residential tree removals in LaPlace take between two and six hours depending on the size, species, and location of the tree. Large live oaks near structures or power lines require more careful rigging and sectional removal, which adds time. We will give you a clear timeline during your free estimate so you can plan your day accordingly.
We begin storm damage cleanup operations as soon as conditions are safe for our crews. During hurricane season, our equipment is pre-staged and our schedule is cleared for rapid deployment. Most residential properties can have initial debris cleared within 24 to 48 hours of our arrival.
Yes. We photograph all damage before and during the cleanup process and provide detailed written reports that describe the work performed, materials removed, and conditions found. This documentation package is formatted to support homeowner insurance claims and has helped our customers recover costs successfully.
Storm damage cleanup covers the full scope of post-storm restoration including fallen tree removal, hanging limb clearance, debris hauling, brush chipping, and site grading. We also assess remaining trees for hidden damage like cracked trunks or compromised root plates that may pose future risk.
Sometimes, yes. Not every storm-damaged tree needs to come down. If the trunk is intact and the root plate has not lifted significantly, crown restoration pruning can help the tree recover over the following seasons. Our arborist will assess each tree individually and give you an honest recommendation.

They took down a massive live oak that was leaning toward our roof. The crew was careful with every cut and cleaned up the yard like they were never there. Honest pricing and great communication from start to finish.
LaPlace Homeowner

After Hurricane Ida we had three trees down across our driveway and fence. They were out within 24 hours and handled everything including the insurance paperwork. Could not have asked for a better experience during a stressful time.
Destrehan Property Owner

We needed several large oaks trimmed before hurricane season and they did an excellent job shaping the canopies without over-cutting. You can tell they actually know how to work with live oaks. Fair price too.
