TREE TRIMMING AND PRUNING

One of the main services we offer in the New Orleans area involves tree maintenance, particularly with trimming and pruning trees and shrubs.  It is so important that your trees grow healthy and strong but that they are also hemmed in by careful trimming and pruning so that they do not experience damage from too big of a crown or from carrying too much weight on a particular side and that they also do not cause potential harm to your home or commercial property or to those of your neighbors.  In the New Orleans metro area, we always need to be prepared for potential inclement weather such as hurricanes and tropical storms.  These types of severe weather events can wreak havoc on your property but can become even more dangerous if your trees and shrubs have been left unchecked.  Contact one of our experts today, and we can come out to check on the general health of your plants and offer you some suggestions on what you can do to keep your plants healthy.  And once you hire us, you can choose a one-time tree trimming service, or if you would like to eliminate tree care from your list of household duties, you can count on us to provide ongoing trimming and pruning services. 

Can I trim trees myself?

Many homeowners think that they can handle trimming trees themselves, but it can be a dangerous activity if not done properly.  Trimming large trees may take specialized equipment, and if branches are cut improperly, they can become a threat to yourself or your property.  Larger trees may only need to be trimmed every few years, but smaller trees, shrubs, and bushes may require maintenance up to four times a year depending on the species of the plants. Contact the expert staff at New Orleans Tree Service for help today.  We can offer you a free consultation with one of our arborists who will help you establish what you need to keep your landscaping healthy. 

TREE AND STUMP REMOVAL

Although we are always advocates for saving trees, we understand that sometimes a tree dies and must be removed before it causes damage to structures around it or that sometimes a tree becomes too big that it begins to damage the foundation of surrounding buildings, causing both safety and financial concerns.  If you believe that you are in this predicament, please call on experts to remove trees, and do not try this potentially dangerous task on your own.  Larger trees need to be cut down in stages, and trained arborists oftentimes need specialized equipment to help in the process.  Trust the professionals at New Orleans Tree Service to cut down properly any trees that you need gone and tidying up your landscaping to leave you with a flat surface on which to plant new shrubs and trees. 

Perhaps you have had a tree cut down in the past, but the stump of the tree remains.  Not only do we offer tree removal services, but we also offer stump removal and stump grinding services.  No need to continue mowing around or tripping over that unsightly stump in the yard.  Contact us today, and we will come out to assess your needs and give you a free estimate on stump removal and grinding.  If you are in NC make sure to check out our friends at stump removal Greenville SC

TREE CABLING AND BRACING

During severe weather or in great stress, trees may experience damage that causes them to be unstable and threaten your property or those of your neighbors.  A great solution to removing the tree altogether is to use a cabling and bracing system for the tree in order to keep it steady and to guide it away from areas where it may potentially cause danger.  During the cabling and bracing process, cables are attached to the tree to guide its growth, and braces are used to give added stability to the tree as it continues to grow.  This process helps the tree to get the added structure that it needs to continue to thrive and to help you maintain the look of your property.  Contact the arborists at New Orleans Tree Service if you have trees that are leaning, look lopsided, or have experienced damage due to weather. 

INSECT AND DISEASE CONTROL

As much as we try to prevent it through regular checkups, trimming, and soil checks, diseases sometimes happen to trees and shrubs.  And when they do, New Orleans Tree Service has the medicine you need for your plants.  We will come out to inspect the damage and offer some solutions that will work to get your plants healthy once again. Although our company is not particularly a pest control company, we do know a lot about the kinds of pesky pests that can infiltrate and slowly malnourish your trees, and we can offer natural solutions for insect and tree disease issues you may encounter, like introducing other helpful types of insects to your trees.  Contact us today to learn more. 

DEEP ROOT FERTILIZATION

In New Orleans, we often do have trees that have been planted around areas of flatwork like driveways and sidewalks.  In some historic areas, the roots of the trees have broken through this concrete work, making for uneven streets and pavements.  However, because the roots do not have much soil around them, these large trees may not be getting the nutrients they need in order to stay healthy.  For these trees that are growing in areas where they may be nutrient deprived, New Orleans Tree Service offers deep root fertilization services.  This process involves injecting fertilizer filled with nutrients directly into the root system of the tree to allow for better absorption of those nutrients, like a vitamin shot for trees.  This fertilization process will continue to keep your trees looking and feeling healthy. 

WHAT KIND OF INSECTS HARM TREES? 

Most insects are harmless to trees.  However, there are some species of invasive insects that wreak havoc on trees in the New Orleans area.  Two major types of insects that can cause major malnourishment to your trees are beetles and termites.  Beetles burrow deep inside of a tree, cutting off nutrients from the tree’s root system.  Termites will eat their way deep into a tree, infest it, and slowly break down the structural integrity of the tree.  If you think you may have an infestation of harmful insects in your tree, contact New Orleans Tree Service today. 

STORM DAMAGE CLEAN UP AND FIRE MITIGATION 

As we are all aware, the New Orleans metropolitan area is prone to severe weather like tropical storms and hurricanes that bring with them high winds.  Large trees and shrubs can cause major damage to your property.  If you have had this happen, please contact us.  We can help you to clean up after a major weather event by picking up large limbs as well as whole trees and carting them off so that they are no longer a threat to you or your property.  We know that getting rid of these outside impediments will ultimately make it easier for you to take care of structures on your property that may have experienced damage as well. 

Although many of the areas we service are urban areas, some of our customers live in wooded areas.  New Orleans Tree Service also offers fire mitigation services for these customers.  Trimming trees and bushes regularly as well as planting foliage intentionally around your home or business can help to keep a wildfire out of the way of other structures on your property.  Contact us today for these services. 

LAND AND BRUSH CLEARING 

And if you are thinking of building in a wooded area, New Orleans Tree Service can help you clear your land, giving your contractor the flat landscape they need to develop your property.  Our expert team can also work with your architect on the outside plans for your home so that we can help you preserve the most beautiful of your established trees and develop the rest of your outdoor landscape so that the outside of your new build looks just as great as the inside.
