When Your Trees Need a Little TLC

Remember that shade tree you planted years ago? The one that’s given your family countless memories of backyard barbecues and children climbing its sturdy branches? It’s amazing how fast they grow, isn’t it?

But sometimes, our leafy friends need a little help. Maybe those branches are now scraping against your roof with every Louisiana breeze. Perhaps that perfect view you once had is now blocked by overgrown limbs. When trees grow unchecked, they can transform from cherished landscape features into potential problems.

That’s where we come in. At Moose’s Tree Service, we’re not just tree trimmers – we’re tree people. Our team brings over 30 years of experience caring for Shreveport’s trees, understanding their needs, and helping them thrive while keeping your property safe.

What Makes Professional Tree Trimming Different?

Think of us as your trees’ personal stylists and healthcare providers rolled into one. Professional tree trimming is both an art and a science that considers your tree’s overall health, structure, and future growth.

We Take Care of the Trouble Spots

Those Worrisome Dead Branches
We’ve all been there – looking up during a storm and wondering if that dead branch is finally going to come down. Our team carefully removes these hazards using techniques that help your tree heal quickly and stay healthy.

When Trees and Buildings Get Too Close
That gentle scraping against your roof might seem harmless, but over time, it wears down roofing materials and can let moisture and pests into your home. We create just the right amount of space between your trees and structures.

Power Line Problems
Few things are more concerning than branches growing into power lines, especially during our famous Louisiana storm season. We carefully establish safe clearance following utility guidelines while preserving your tree’s natural beauty.

We Help Your Tree Stay Strong and Healthy

Crossed and Rubbing Branches
Just like how a small blister on your foot can become painful over time, branches that rub against each other create wounds where disease and pests enter. We identify and address these issues early.

Competing Leader Branches
When trees develop multiple main trunks, they’re much more likely to split during storms. Our selective trimming establishes a single dominant leader, creating stronger structure for decades of healthy growth.

Too Much of a Good Thing
Dense growth might look lush, but it restricts airflow and light, creating perfect conditions for disease. Our strategic thinning improves circulation while reducing wind resistance during storms.

We Prepare Your Trees for Whatever Mother Nature Brings

In Shreveport, we know storms happen. Our preventative trimming approach significantly reduces damage potential by:

  • Removing dead and compromised branches before storm season
  • Creating wind permeability to reduce the “sail effect” that topples trees
  • Reducing weight on heavy branches that might otherwise split

The Real Benefits You’ll Notice

When we trim your trees properly, you’ll see the difference in ways that matter to you and your family:

Your Property Stays Safer

Those “someday” hazards become “never” problems. Dead branches, split limbs, and structurally compromised sections inevitably fall—but not when we remove them first.

Trees with proper structure also withstand our Louisiana storms much better, and maintaining appropriate clearance from your home prevents continuous damage to your roof and siding.

Your Trees Live Longer, Healthier Lives

Just like regular checkups keep us healthy, proper trimming improves your trees’ overall wellbeing:

  • Removing dead and diseased material reduces health threats
  • Better air circulation makes trees naturally more resistant to disease
  • Professional cutting techniques help wounds heal faster
  • Energy gets redirected to the parts of the tree that need it most

Your Landscape Looks and Functions Better

Beyond safety and health, you’ll love how your property looks and functions after professional trimming:

  • Your trees showcase their natural beauty with balanced growth
  • Sunlight can reach your lawn, gardens, and smaller plants
  • You’ll spend less time picking up small branches and debris
  • Flowering trees produce more blooms, fruit trees yield more fruit

Our Simple, Stress-Free Process

First, We Listen and Plan

Every project starts with understanding what matters to you. Maybe you’re worried about that branch over the kids’ play set, or perhaps you just want more light in your garden. Whatever your concerns, we listen carefully, examine your entire tree (not just the obvious problem areas), and create a trimming plan that addresses everything that matters.

Then, We Work With Precision and Care

Our team makes clean cuts in exactly the right places, working systematically through your tree. We continuously evaluate our progress, adjusting our approach if needed to ensure the best results for your specific situation.

Finally, We Clean Up Completely

The job isn’t done until your property looks better than when we arrived. We remove all trimmed material, conduct a final inspection to ensure we’ve met all objectives, and provide recommendations for future care based on what we observed.

How to Know When Your Trees Need Professional Attention

Safety Concerns That Shouldn’t Wait

  • Dead branches that could fall unexpectedly
  • Branches hanging over your roof or gutters
  • Limbs growing toward power lines
  • Split or cracked branches after storms

Signs Your Tree Might Be Struggling

  • Multiple dead branches throughout the canopy
  • Branches crossing and rubbing against each other
  • Overly dense, crowded growth
  • Sprouts growing from the base or main trunk

Practical Issues That Affect Daily Life

  • Branches blocking security lights or cameras
  • Low-hanging limbs over walkways or driveways
  • Too much shade damaging your lawn or garden
  • Trees blocking your favorite views

Common Questions About Tree Trimming

How often should my trees be trimmed?

Most mature trees benefit from professional attention every 3-5 years, while younger trees need structural pruning every 2-3 years. But this varies based on the type of tree, where it’s planted, and your specific concerns. During our visit, we can recommend the right schedule for your particular trees.

When’s the best time of year for trimming?

While most trees can be trimmed year-round if necessary, winter dormancy (late fall to early spring) is often ideal for major pruning. Flowering trees do best when pruned after blooming. We can recommend the optimal timing for your specific trees.

Will trimming keep my tree from getting too tall?

Professional trimming can moderate height somewhat but can’t permanently stop a healthy tree from growing upward. What we can do is manage the tree’s shape, improve its structure, and remove unwanted branches to keep it in better proportion with your landscape.

What happens to all the cut branches?

We provide complete cleanup with every service. All material is removed, chipped, and recycled as mulch. If you’d like to keep some wood for firewood or projects, just let us know, and we’ll cut it to usable lengths and stack it conveniently.

Can trimming help with pests or diseases?

Strategic trimming can definitely help manage certain problems by improving air circulation and removing infected material. Our experts can identify when trimming will help and when additional treatments might be needed.
