Professional Tree Removal Services

That sudden crack during a thunderstorm wasn’t lightning, it was your beloved oak tree splitting down the middle. When trees become dangers instead of assets, expert removal isn’t just a service it’s a necessity. At Moose’s Tree Service, we’ve spent over 30 years safely removing trees that threaten homes and power lines throughout Shreveport and Bossier City. Our team responds quickly with the right tools and know-how to get the job done safely.

Our Tree Removal Services

Taking down a tree is serious business that needs the right skills, tools, and safety measures. We understand what homeowners face when trees become dangerous, sick, or simply unwanted.

Here’s how we handle tree removal from start to finish:

First Look and Planning

Before we touch your tree, our experienced team takes a good look at:

• How big the tree is and what kind it is
• How close it stands to your home, garage, or power lines
• What the soil is like around the tree
• Any safety concerns we need to address
• How our equipment will access your property

This careful check helps us create a removal plan that keeps everyone safe and protects your property.

Safe Cutting Methods

Our skilled team uses cutting methods that match each unique situation:

• Taking trees down in sections when they’re near buildings
• Controlling which way the tree falls when there’s enough open space
• Using cranes for extra-large or dangerous trees when needed
• Careful cutting that protects your lawn, garden, and landscaping

These methods let us safely remove trees even from tight spots without damaging your property.

Complete Cleanup

Our job isn’t done when the tree comes down. Our full service includes:

• Cutting up branches and trunk sections
• Removing all tree parts from your yard
• Optional stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards
• Thorough cleanup that leaves your yard neat and tidy

Emergency Tree Removal

When bad weather strikes, damaged trees can put your property in immediate danger. Our emergency tree removal service is available 24/7 for urgent situations like:

• Trees leaning toward your house after storms
• Trees hit by lightning with unstable branches
• Split or cracked trunks that could fall any minute
• Trees caught in power lines that need immediate attention

Our team arrives quickly with everything needed to safely remove dangerous trees before they cause more damage.

When You Should Consider Tree Removal

Knowing when it’s time to remove a tree helps you make smart decisions about your yard and home safety. Here’s when to call us:

Safety Risks

Trees that pose these safety risks should be removed promptly:

• Trees that have started leaning suddenly
• Large dead branches hanging over your roof or driveway
• Trunks with deep splits or cracks
• Trees with diseases or bugs that have weakened them
• Storm damage that can’t be fixed with pruning

Disease and Pest Problems

Many tree sicknesses and bug problems can be treated, but sometimes removal is the only option:

• Trees with widespread fungus affecting the trunk
• Severe insect damage that has weakened the tree’s structure
• Trees with blights that have killed large portions
• Root diseases that affect stability
• Trees that might spread disease to your healthy trees

Making Room for Improvements

Sometimes healthy trees need to be removed for property updates:

• Trees located where you plan to build
• Trees with roots damaging your foundation or pipes
• Trees blocking important sunlight from gardens or solar panels
• Trees blocking access to your property
• Trees planted too close to your home

Making Your Yard Look Better

Strategic tree removal can improve your overall landscape:

• Removing crowded trees so others can grow better
• Getting rid of messy trees that drop too many fruits, seeds, or sap
• Removing trees that don’t fit your yard’s style
• Creating space for more suitable trees or features
• Managing how your landscape grows and changes over time

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal

How do I know if my tree needs removal?

Warning signs include lots of dead branches, cracks in the trunk, sudden leaning, mushrooms growing at the base, and holes in the main trunk. We can check your tree and tell you if it needs to come down or if it can be saved with proper care.

What affects the cost of removing a tree?

Several things affect price: how tall the tree is, how thick the trunk is, how easy it is to reach, what condition it’s in, what’s near the tree (power lines, buildings), if you want extra services like stump grinding, and whether you need emergency service. We give free, detailed estimates for all tree removal jobs.

How long does it take to remove a tree?

Most home tree removals take just one day, often only a few hours. Bigger trees, trees in tough spots, or those needing special equipment might take longer. When we give you an estimate, we’ll also tell you how long your specific job will take.

What happens to all the wood and branches?

We clean up everything with every tree removal. We usually chip the branches and haul everything away. If you want to keep the wood for firewood, just tell us when we give the estimate, and we’ll cut it into usable pieces and stack it where you want on your property.

Can you remove trees near power lines?

Yes, but this requires special training and equipment. Our team knows how to safely remove trees near power lines. For trees touching power lines, we work with the local power company to ensure safety before we start.

Do you offer emergency tree removal?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency tree removal. When storms or other problems create dangerous tree situations, our team responds quickly to prevent further damage to your property.

Will my homeowners insurance cover tree removal?

Insurance usually covers tree removal when a tree falls because of storms or lightning and damages insured structures. Trees that fall without damaging buildings are usually not covered. We can provide detailed documentation to help with your insurance claim if needed.

Is stump removal included with tree removal?

Basic tree removal includes cutting the tree down to a low stump. Complete stump removal or grinding is an additional service. We recommend stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and prevent new growth and pest problems.
