Tree care in Lafayette, from the top down.

Removal, pruning, stump grinding, planting and cabling by a local crew that cleans up before it leaves. Free estimates, often scheduled the same week.

“Cut down 4 large trees in my yard and left no trace.”

Luke Young, Google review

A lighter crown rides out the next storm.

We thin, raise and shape the canopy. Light gets in, limbs clear your roof, and dead wood comes out before it falls.

“…did an excellent job pruning the large oak tree in my front yard.”

Not every weak tree has to come down.

Steel cables and braces hold split trunks and heavy limbs together, so the tree you love can ride out wind and rain.

Static cabling
For mature trees with split trunks that need the most support.
Dynamic cabling
For younger trees, supported while they build their own strength.

Tall trees come down section by section.

Each cut is planned around your roof, fence and lawn. Then we haul off every branch.

“They removed several very tall pine trees from my property… handled such a big job with care.”

Tree removal

The stump goes. The lawn comes back.

We grind stumps 4 to 12 inches below ground and leave the chips, so you can mow and plant right over it.

Stump grinding

“Excellent clean up and care for your property.”

We choose a native species for your soil and space, set the root ball at the right depth, mulch it and show you how to care for it.
