About Shreveport Tree Service Pros

Shreveport Tree Service Pros takes down, trims and grinds out trees for homeowners in Shreveport, Bossier City and the towns around them in Caddo and Bossier parishes. Most of our calls are about the same few trees: a tall loblolly pine that leans toward the house, a water oak that has started dropping big limbs, a pecan that splits a little more after every thunderstorm, or a stump left behind from the last storm.

Every job starts at the tree. We walk the yard with you and look at the trunk, the root flare, the crown and the soil around the base, and then at what sits under it: the roof, the carport, a pool, a fence line shared with a neighbor, and the service drop running to the house. In older parts of the city such as Highland, Fairfield and South Highlands, houses sit close together and big trees often hang over two or three lots, so access and rigging usually decide how a tree comes down more than its height does. Out toward Keithville, Blanchard or the Cross Lake shoreline, lots are larger but softer ground and slopes change the plan.

We also sort out whose tree it is and who else has a say. In Shreveport the trees in the neutral strip between the sidewalk and the curb are normally the property owner's to maintain, while dead limbs and dead trees in the city right-of-way are handled by the Public Works forestry crew. A homeowners association may have its own rules, and anything tangled in the wires on a pole is SWEPCO's to clear first. If any of that applies, we tell you before we price anything.

After the visit you get it in writing: each tree, what will be done to it, what happens to the brush and wood, whether the stump is included, and the price. Louisiana expects tree work for hire to be done under a written agreement that spells out the work and the amount, and that is how we would want it as homeowners too. Nothing is cut until you approve it, and if something changes once the crew is up the tree, we stop and agree on it with you before going on.

What you can expect from us

• An honest answer when pruning, not removal, will fix the problem.
• Limbs lowered on ropes where dropping them would hit a roof, fence or garden.
• Pine and oak wood handled the way you choose: left in rounds, cut to length or hauled off.
• Equipment kept off soft lawns and septic fields when the ground is wet, where possible.
• After a storm, trees on houses and blocked driveways first.
• Payment only for the work on your signed quote.
