Serving Metairie's established neighborhoods from Old Metairie to Fat City, Chalmette Tree Service provides professional tree care for Jefferson Parish's largest community. With over 138,000 residents and mature landscapes developed through the 1920s-1970s, Metairie's trees require specialized attention from licensed arborists who understand the region's subtropical climate, hurricane risks, and clay soil conditions that impact tree health along Veterans Boulevard, Metairie Road, and throughout residential areas.
Our certified tree specialists understand the unique challenges facing Metairie's urban forest—from the historic live oaks lining Metairie Road that require disease management in high humidity conditions, to palm tree maintenance in coastal areas near Lake Pontchartrain. We provide comprehensive hurricane preparation services during the critical June-November season, helping protect property values in Old Metairie's upscale neighborhoods and family homes throughout the community where the median home value exceeds $308,000.
Our Louisiana-licensed arborists provide expert tree trimming and pruning services tailored to Metairie's mature landscapes and subtropical climate. From ornamental tree shaping along Metairie Ridge to crown reduction for hurricane wind resistance, we follow proper pruning schedules that promote healthy growth while protecting your property. Whether maintaining the established oaks in Old Metairie estates or managing newer growth in Bucktown developments, our team ensures trees remain healthy, safe, and beautiful year-round.
When hurricanes, tropical storms, or severe weather strikes Jefferson Parish, Chalmette Tree Service provides 24/7 emergency response throughout Metairie. Our rapid-response team handles dangerous fallen trees, hanging limbs, and storm damage cleanup to restore safety and access. With detailed photo documentation for insurance claims and proper debris removal following St. Bernard Parish protocols, we help Metairie residents recover quickly from storm events that frequently impact our coastal Louisiana community.
The combination of high humidity, salt air exposure from Lake Pontchartrain, and warm temperatures creates ideal conditions for tree diseases in Metairie. Our certified arborists diagnose and treat common issues including live oak disease, palm disorders, and fungal infections that threaten trees throughout Jefferson Parish. We provide specialized care for Metairie's diverse tree population, from Chinese Tallow invasive species management to cypress and black willow care in flood-prone areas near drainage canals.

Outstanding emergency response after Hurricane winds damaged three large oaks on our property. They arrived within hours, removed the trees safely from our roof, and worked directly with our insurance company. Professional, fast, and exactly what we needed during a stressful situation.
Robert & Marie T., Chalmette

Their Live Oak disease treatment saved our 150-year-old tree that we thought was dying. They explained the coastal salt and humidity issues affecting it, treated the fungal problems, and it's thriving again. Truly experts who understand Louisiana tree challenges.
James L., St. Bernard Parish

Used them for hurricane preparation pruning before storm season and glad we did. They identified weak branches, thinned the canopy properly, and our trees came through the storms with minimal damage. Worth every penny for the peace of mind and protection.
