What Tree Problems Do We Fix?
The six most common tree issues we handle across Greater Baton Rouge. Every one with a documented stat from a credible source.
Storm-Damaged Trees
Hurricane Ida damaged or destroyed 8,500+ trees in EBR Parish (LSU AgCenter)Wind-broken limbs, cracked trunks, and uplifted root plates are the most common storm injuries. We respond same-day for urgent jobs and document everything for your insurance claim.
Diseased / Dying Trees
Hypoxylon canker is the #1 killer of Baton Rouge water oaks (LSU AgCenter Plant Diagnostic Clinic)White-grey fungal patches on the trunk usually mean hypoxylon. There's no effective treatment, and removal within 12-18 months prevents collapse onto your home.
Root Damage to Foundations
Surface tree roots cause an estimated $1B+ in U.S. residential foundation damage annually (NAHB)Live oak and water oak surface roots can lift sidewalks, crack driveways, and damage slab foundations. Root pruning by an arborist (not just chopping) preserves the tree and stops the damage.
Lightning-Struck Trees
Louisiana ranks in the top 10 U.S. states for lightning density (Vaisala)A lightning-struck tree often looks intact for weeks before showing decline. Internal damage causes sudden failure 3-12 months after the strike. Get an arborist assessment as soon as possible.
Hazardous Leaning Trees
Trees leaning more than 15° toward a structure have a significantly elevated failure risk per ISA hazard assessment standardsSudden lean changes after rain or wind events are warning signs of root failure. We assess risk and can remove the tree before it falls instead of after.
Trees Touching Power Lines
Vegetation contact causes 20% of major U.S. power outages (DOE Grid Resilience Report)For lines on your private service drop, we handle clearance pruning. For Entergy primary lines, we coordinate with Entergy first. We never work on or near energized utility lines.
What Trees Do We Service?
Baton Rouge's tree mix is dominated by these six species. Each has different removal challenges, costs, and care requirements.
Live Oak
Louisiana state tree. Average mature live oak removal: $1,800 – $4,500 (internal pricing data)Heritage live oaks over 24" DBH may require EBR Parish notification before removal. We pull permits and protect heritage trees during nearby construction work.
Southern Magnolia
State flower. Magnolia disease treatment averages $150 – $400 per visit (internal pricing data)Scale insects and sooty mold are the most common magnolia issues we treat. Soil drench treatments work for most cases without harming the bloom cycle.
Bald Cypress
Louisiana state tree (joint with live oak). Common in low-lying yards and lakefront propertiesCypress are wind-resistant and rarely fail in storms. Most cypress work we do is stump removal after old-growth removals or selective pruning for clearance.
Pecan
Louisiana ranks in the top 5 U.S. states for pecan production (LSU AgCenter)Mature pecans are heavy and split badly under wet-soil wind loads. Co-dominant stems are common. Cabling can extend their life dramatically when caught early.
Sweetgum
Sweetgum is among the most common nuisance-removal species in EBR Parish (internal data)Aggressive surface roots and prolific spiky seed pods make sweetgum a frequent removal target. Stumps need deep grinding or excavation because suckers regrow easily.
Loblolly Pine
Louisiana's most-planted commercial pine. Fast-growing but prone to wind failure (LA Forestry Association)Loblolly pines fail more often than any other Baton Rouge species in storms. Pre-storm crown thinning and proactive removal of pines too close to structures saves homes.
What Baton Rouge Homeowners Say
"A massive water oak fell across our driveway during a spring storm. They had a crew there in two hours, dealt directly with our adjuster, and our yard was clean by the next day. Calm, professional, and fairly priced."Sarah K.Garden District
"Got three quotes for removing two big pines too close to the house. They weren't the cheapest, but they were the only ones who showed me actual insurance certificates and answered every technical question. Worth every dollar."Mike R.Central
"Hired them to do storm-prep pruning on five live oaks before hurricane season. They explained why they wouldn't "top" the trees and what proper pruning actually looks like. We didn't lose a single limb during Francine."Linda T.Zachary

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree removal cost in Baton Rouge?
Most residential removals run $600 – $4,500 depending on size, access, and species. Hazardous removals or crane jobs range $4,500 – $12,000+. We provide free written estimates with no obligation.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry licensed arborists, $2,000,000 general liability coverage, and full workers' compensation. We provide certificates of insurance on request before any work begins.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing is available for jobs over $1,000 with payment plans starting at 0% APR for qualified buyers. Details provided with every estimate.
How quickly can you respond to storm damage?
Critical hazards (tree on house, blocking driveway, line down): typically within 2 hours. Same-day for urgent jobs. During major storm events we work geographic waves and pre-stage equipment before the storm makes landfall.
Do you handle insurance claims?
Yes. We document damage, provide adjuster-ready itemized estimates, and can bill State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Louisiana Farm Bureau, and most regional carriers directly. You typically pay only your policy deductible.
Will you grind the stump too?
Yes. Stump grinding is offered as an add-on to any removal at a discount versus a standalone visit. Standard depth is 4 inches below grade; deeper grinding for replanting or concrete work is also available.
Why won't you "top" my tree?
Topping (cutting branches back to stubs) destroys tree structure, opens the tree to rot, and creates worse hazards within 5 years. The ISA estimates topped trees lose 25-50% of their lifespan. We follow ANSI A300 standards and will always offer a proper crown reduction instead.
Do you serve all of EBR Parish?
Yes. Baton Rouge, Baker, Zachary, Central, Greenwell Springs, plus neighboring parishes including Denham Springs, Prairieville, Gonzales, Walker, Watson, St. Francisville, Port Allen, Plaquemine, and St. Gabriel. If you don't see your area, call us anyway. We likely serve it.
