Louisiana's Reliable Tree Experts — Safely Removing Trees
Every tree adds value or creates risk. When a certified arborist identifies a serious problem—such as disease, structural instability, or damage that cannot be repaired—safe tree removal may be the best option.
Our bonded and insured ISA Certified Arborists are trained to remove trees safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your property. Tree removal can be complicated, and mistakes can be expensive, so it’s important to trust a qualified professional for the job.
Will Cutting a Tree Root Kill the Tree
Cutting tree roots may look like an easy solution, but doing it incorrectly can weaken the tree, cause long-term damage, or even lead to it's death.
Important Guidance:
-
Avoid cutting roots larger than two inches in diameter, and never remove more than 15% of the root system at one time.
-
Make cuts at a distance of at least five times the trunk's diameter from the tree to reduce stress.
-
The safest seasons for root pruning are winter or early spring, when the tree is dormant.
-
Whenever you're unsure, it's best to contact a certified arborist for professional guidance.
Need another option? Consider topdressing the lawn with a mix of compost and sand to smooth out uneven spots. This doesn't involve cutting roots, making it a safe alternative.
