Tree Service in Red Chute, LA

Tree Service in Red Chute is mostly about everyday yard trees on suburban lots. Red Chute is an unincorporated community and Census-designated place in Bossier Parish, with Bossier City directly to the west and Eastwood to the east. It grew from 6,261 people in 2010 to 7,065 in 2020 on a little over 9 square miles, and US Routes 80 and 79 run through it, about 8 miles from downtown Shreveport. Interstate 20 forms the southern edge.

Because Red Chute is not an incorporated town, there is no town hall setting tree rules. Parish rules, subdivision deed restrictions and utility clearance needs still apply, so we ask about any restrictions in your neighborhood before we recommend a removal.

The fence line problem

One of the most common requests here is the back fence. Volunteer trees such as hackberry, sweetgum and water oak sprout along fences where mowers cannot reach, and in ten or fifteen years they are big enough to lift the fence, shade out the lawn and drop limbs into two yards at once. Trees that straddle a property line can belong to both owners, so it helps to talk with the neighbor before work starts. We can price the job so it is easy to split, and we can cut from one side when the other yard is off-limits.

Roofs, gutters and service drops

On tighter lots, the trees that matter most are the ones that reach the house. We clear limbs back from roofs and chimneys, lift branches away from the service line that runs from the pole to your house (after the utility has dealt with anything touching the primary line), and thin crowns that shed so many leaves the gutters clog every fall. Good pruning follows the ANSI A300 standard: cuts at the branch collar, no topping, and no more live wood removed than the tree can handle.

Removals and stumps

When a tree is dead, split or leaning toward the house, we remove it in pieces if needed and lower the wood instead of dropping it near structures. Stumps can be ground below grade so the area can be seeded or used for a shed pad or garden bed. If you are not sure whether a tree needs to come down, ask for an assessment and we will explain what we see.

Drainage ditches and trees

Many Red Chute lots drain to ditches along the street or the back line, and trees that grow on ditch banks often lean as the bank erodes. We check those trees for exposed roots on the ditch side.

Planning ahead

A good time to schedule work here is late fall and winter, when the ground is firmer and trees are easier to read. Call (318) 309-7506 or fill in the form with your address and what you want done. Get a free estimate
