Tree Service in Greenwood, LA

Tree Service in Greenwood often covers more ground than a typical suburban job. Greenwood covers about 9 square miles in western Caddo Parish, yet it had only 3,166 residents in 2020. That works out to large lots, small farms and wooded tracts mixed in with neighborhoods along US 79 and 80, which run through the town center as Greenwood Road. Interstate 20 crosses the north side of town at exits 3 and 5, Waskom, Texas, is about 6 miles west, and downtown Shreveport is about 15 miles east.

Bigger lots, different jobs

On an acre or more, the work is rarely just one tree. Common Greenwood requests include:

• Taking down dead or storm-damaged trees along a long driveway
• Clearing trees and brush that have grown into fences and pasture edges
• Pruning big shade trees around the house, shop or barn
• Removing trees that shade a garden or a solar panel array
• Grinding stumps across a whole yard after earlier clearing
• Cutting a path for a new fence, shed or pad

When there are several jobs, we can walk the whole property, mark the trees involved and give you one estimate broken down by task. That way you can do everything now or spread the work out.

Storms on open ground

Trees standing alone in a field or on the edge of a cleared lot take more wind than trees in a stand. On August 27, 2020, as Hurricane Laura moved north through Louisiana, flash flooding put high water over the I-20 shoulders at exit 5 and drivers were told to use US 80. Heavy rain like that softens the ground, and that is when isolated trees blow over. If a big tree near your house has started to lean or lift on one side after a storm, call us before the next one.

Wood and brush on acreage

On larger properties, some homeowners want to keep firewood or leave brush piles for wildlife in a back corner. Others want everything chipped and hauled. Both are fine, and the choice affects the price. We will ask what you want done with the wood when we write the estimate.

Older trees, older homesteads

Greenwood was established in 1839, and parts of town still have old homesteads with trees that have been growing for generations. Those trees may carry decades of old wounds, lightning scars and decay. Many can be kept safely with careful pruning. Some have reached the end. We will tell you honestly which is which.

Fence lines along the Texas side

Greenwood properties near the state line often run into bigger tracts of woods. When trees on the woods edge lean over a fence or pasture, we can cut back or remove just the trees that threaten the fence, rather than clearing the whole edge.
