Chinese Tallow Invasive Tree Removal in Chalmette, LA
Complete Invasive Tree Eradication
Chinese Tallow trees spread aggressively throughout Louisiana wetlands and residential properties, crowding out native species and reducing property values. These invasive trees produce thousands of seeds annually, resprout vigorously from cut stumps, and can quickly dominate a landscape if not properly managed. Our removal process includes complete tree cutting, stump grinding below soil level, and follow-up treatment of regrowth to achieve full eradication. We dispose of all material properly to prevent seed spread and can recommend native Louisiana species for replacement plantings that provide better wildlife value and ecological benefits without the invasive characteristics.
Protect your property's ecological health and market value by addressing Chinese Tallow infestations before they spread further. Our teams understand Louisiana's invasive species challenges and provide complete solutions. Contact us today for Chinese Tallow removal and restoration of your landscape with appropriate native trees that belong in St. Bernard Parish environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about tree service
Do you offer free estimates for tree service in Chalmette?
Yes, we provide free estimates for most tree services including removal, pruning, and disease treatment. Our arborists will visit your property, assess the work needed, evaluate access and equipment requirements, and provide a detailed written quote. Emergency services during storms may have different pricing structures given the immediate response requirements and dangerous conditions. Estimates include labor, equipment, debris removal, and any permit fees for St. Bernard Parish compliance.
Are you licensed and insured for tree work in Louisiana?
Absolutely. We maintain Louisiana arborist licensing, full liability insurance, and workers compensation coverage for all crew members. Our ISA certifications demonstrate professional expertise, and our insurance protects your property in the unlikely event of accidents. We can provide proof of insurance and licensing documentation upon request, and many of our clients require this for their records before we begin work.
What areas do you service around Chalmette?
We serve all of St. Bernard Parish including Chalmette, Meraux, Arabi, Poydras, Violet, and surrounding communities. Our local focus allows rapid response throughout the parish, particularly important during hurricane season when emergency calls spike. If you're outside St. Bernard Parish, contact us—we can often accommodate nearby areas depending on project scope and scheduling.
How quickly can you respond to emergency tree situations?
We maintain 24/7 emergency availability with crews positioned throughout St. Bernard Parish for rapid response. During active storm events and immediately afterward, we typically respond within 2-4 hours depending on call volume and access conditions. Life-safety situations—trees on structures, blocking access, or threatening utilities—receive highest priority. Our emergency number connects you directly to dispatch coordinators who can provide realistic response timelines based on current conditions.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, all major credit cards, and can work with insurance companies for storm damage claims. For larger projects, we can arrange payment schedules with deposits securing your scheduled work date. Emergency services typically require payment upon completion unless pre-arranged otherwise. We provide detailed invoices itemizing all work performed for your records and insurance documentation needs.
Do you handle the cleanup and debris removal?
Yes, complete debris removal is included in all our services. We cut wood into manageable sections, chip brush and small branches on-site, and haul away all material. For customers who want firewood, we can cut and stack usable wood at no extra charge—just let us know during the estimate. We leave your property clean, with disturbed areas raked and any lawn damage minimized through proper equipment placement and operational techniques.
Frequently Asked Questions about Chinese Tallow Removal
Why is Chinese Tallow considered such a problem in Louisiana?
Chinese Tallow is one of Louisiana's most aggressive invasive species, spreading rapidly through prolific seed production and root sprouting. A single mature tree produces up to 100,000 seeds annually that remain viable for years. It outcompetes native species, forms dense monocultures, and alters soil chemistry to favor its own growth while inhibiting native plant establishment.
How do you prevent Chinese Tallow from growing back after removal?
Preventing regrowth requires comprehensive treatment addressing both stumps and root systems. We apply concentrated herbicide to freshly cut stumps within minutes of cutting to prevent compartmentalization. Follow-up treatments target sprouts emerging from remaining roots. Complete removal of the stump and major roots provides the most permanent solution, though its more expensive than chemical treatment alone.
Can I just cut down Chinese Tallow trees without special treatment?
Cutting alone actually worsens the problem. Chinese Tallow responds to cutting by producing dozens of sprouts from the stump and root system, creating a denser infestation than the original single tree. Without immediate stump treatment, you'll face years of persistent sprouting requiring repeated cutting. Proper removal requires integrated cutting and chemical treatment.
How much does complete Chinese Tallow removal cost?
Costs depend on tree size and chosen removal method. Basic removal with stump treatment runs $400-800 for medium trees, preventing regrowth without stump grinding. Complete removal with stump grinding costs $600-1200 for medium specimens. Large Chinese Tallow trees over 30 feet diameter cost $1000-2000+ for complete removal. Multiple trees receive discounted per-tree pricing.

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.
