1
Initial Assessment
Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment — Our ISA-certified arborist visits your property to evaluate the tree’s species, size, health, lean, and proximity to structures and power lines. We identify potential hazards, plan the safest removal approach, and provide you with a detailed written estimate at no cost and no obligation.

Execution
Step 2: Safe, Controlled Removal — On the scheduled day, our crew arrives with all necessary equipment. We set up protective ground mats, establish a safety perimeter, and execute the removal using crane trucks, bucket lifts, and precision rigging. Every cut is planned and controlled to protect your home, landscaping, and surrounding property.

Cleanup and Inspection
Step 3: Complete Cleanup & Site Restoration — After the tree is down, we remove all branches, logs, leaves, and debris from your property. Stumps can be ground on the spot or left for later. We rake the area clean and can even spread the resulting wood chips as mulch in your garden beds. We don’t consider the job done until your property looks great.
Safety Measures During Tree Removal
At Shreveport Trees, safety is our top priority on every job — no exceptions. Our team employs advanced rigging techniques, crane-assisted removals, and precision cutting methods to control every section of the tree from first cut to final cleanup. We carry comprehensive liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and every crew member is trained in OSHA safety protocols and ANSI A300 tree care standards. Before we make a single cut, we assess the tree’s lean, weight distribution, decay patterns, and surrounding obstacles to create a detailed removal plan. This meticulous approach is why we’ve maintained a perfect safety record across thousands of tree removals in Shreveport and Bossier City.
Protecting Your Property
We understand that a tree removal operation can be stressful for homeowners. That’s why we take every precaution to protect your property — from laying protective mats for heavy equipment to carefully roping down each cut section. Our crane-assisted removals allow us to lift large sections straight up and over your home, rather than dropping them. We also coordinate with utility companies when trees are near power lines, handle any necessary permits, and can work directly with your insurance provider if the removal is storm-related. Your peace of mind matters as much as the quality of our work. Our team takes proactive measures to prevent damage, such as using protective barriers and carefully planning the removal path. We also ensure that all debris is efficiently cleared, leaving your property clean and undisturbed. Trust Shreveport Tree Removal for a safe and seamless tree removal experience.
How much does tree removal cost in Shreveport?
Tree removal costs typically range from $250 for small trees to $2,000+ for large, complex jobs. Factors include tree height, trunk diameter, location, accessibility, proximity to structures, and whether specialized equipment like cranes is needed. We provide free, no-obligation written estimates after an on-site assessment.
How long does tree removal take?
Most residential tree removals are completed in 4-8 hours, including cleanup. Simple single-tree jobs may take as little as 2 hours, while complex multi-tree projects with crane assistance can take a full day. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your estimate.
Do you remove trees near power lines?
Yes. We coordinate with SWEPCO and local utility providers when trees are near power lines. Our team has specialized training for hazardous tree situations and can arrange temporary power disconnection if needed.
What happens to the tree after removal?
You have options: we can haul everything away, chip branches into mulch for your garden, cut the trunk into firewood-sized pieces, or leave sections for your own use. We discuss preferences during your estimate and include your choice in the service.
Are you insured if something goes wrong?
Absolutely. We carry comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide proof of insurance before any work begins. In over 20 years of operation, we’ve maintained a perfect safety record across thousands of tree removals.
Can you remove trees in tight spaces or between houses?
Yes. Our crane-assisted removal allows us to lift sections vertically, avoiding your roof, fence, and landscaping. We routinely remove trees from narrow side yards, between houses, and from backyards with limited access throughout Shreveport’s older neighborhoods like Broadmoor and South Highlands.
Do you handle commercial tree removal?
Absolutely. We serve apartment complexes, office parks, churches, schools, and retail centers across Shreveport and Bossier City. We carry higher commercial liability limits and offer after-hours and weekend service to minimize disruption to your business.
What trees do you most commonly remove in Shreveport?
In our area, we most frequently remove Loblolly Pines, Water Oaks, Sweetgums, and Bradford Pears. Pines snap in high winds, Water Oaks develop hidden rot, Sweetgums drop spiky seed balls, and Bradford Pears have notoriously weak branch unions. We also handle majestic Live Oaks and Bald Cypress when they become hazards.
Not sure if your tree needs to come down? Here are the most common warning signs our arborists look for when assessing trees in the Shreveport area:
1. Dead or Falling Branches — If you notice large dead branches, especially in the crown of the tree, it’s a sign of decline. Dead limbs can fall without warning during Shreveport’s frequent thunderstorms.
2. Trunk Damage & Cracks — Vertical cracks, seams, or large wounds in the trunk indicate structural weakness. After hurricanes and severe storms, hidden trunk damage is common in Live Oaks and Pines throughout Caddo Parish.
3. Hollow or Decayed Trunk — A hollow trunk may look solid from the outside but be dangerously weak inside. Fungi growing at the base (like shelf mushrooms) is a clear sign of internal rot.
4. Significant Leaning — A tree that suddenly begins leaning, especially after heavy rain or wind, has root damage and is at high risk of falling. This is one of the most urgent signs requiring immediate attention.
5. Root Damage — Exposed, damaged, or decaying roots compromise the entire tree. Construction, trenching, or soil compaction near the tree can kill roots and destabilize even healthy-looking trees.
6. Pest Infestation — Carpenter ants, termites, and pine beetles are common tree killers in Northwest Louisiana. Sawdust-like material around the base or small holes in the bark are telltale signs.
7. Proximity to Structures — Even a healthy tree can be a hazard if it’s too close to your home, power lines, or driveway. As trees grow, what was once a safe distance can become a risk.
