tree service can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Our emergency number connects you directly to dispatch coordinators who can provide realistic response timelines based on current conditions.
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.
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.
We maintain 24/7 availability with local crews positioned throughout St. Bernard Parish for rapid response. During hurricane events and severe weather, we deploy teams as soon as conditions are safe, typically within 2-4 hours of receiving your call. Our priority dispatch system addresses life-safety situations first—trees on structures, blocking access, or threatening utilities—followed by property damage scenarios. We understand the urgency of post-storm situations and staff accordingly during Louisiana's June through November hurricane season when emergency calls spike dramatically.
Yes, we provide complete documentation that insurance adjusters require for Louisiana storm damage claims. This includes detailed photographs from multiple angles, measurements of affected trees and damage areas, written descriptions of damage mechanisms, and itemized estimates for removal and restoration work. We can communicate directly with adjusters if requested and understand the documentation standards that Louisiana insurance companies expect. Many of our emergency clients find that our thorough documentation significantly streamlines their claim process and helps secure appropriate coverage for tree-related storm damage.
Absolutely—this is one of the most common emergency scenarios we handle in Chalmette. We use specialized rigging equipment and, when necessary, crane services to remove trees from structures without causing additional damage. Our crews assess weight distribution, attachment points, and structural integrity before beginning removal. The process involves carefully rigging sections, creating controlled removal sequences, and protecting roofing and siding during extraction. Safety is paramount for both our crews and your property, so we never rush these delicate operations despite the urgency of the situation.
First, ensure everyone's safety and evacuate any compromised structures. If the tree has contacted power lines, stay far away and contact Entergy immediately—never attempt to move or cut trees near electrical hazards. Document the damage with photographs before anything is moved if possible. Contact your insurance company to report the claim and then call us for emergency removal. If the tree has damaged your roof, cover any exposed areas with tarps if you can do so safely to prevent water intrusion. Avoid walking under damaged trees or near hanging branches that could fall. We'll guide you through the process when you call and can coordinate with utility companies if power line involvement requires their clearance before we proceed.

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.
