Frequently Asked Questions
Tree Service can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
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.

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.
