New Orleans lives under a cathedral of live oaks, their massive limbs draped in Spanish moss, shading Uptown avenues and the bungalow streets of Mid-City. These aren't just pretty trees. They're heavy, old, and they demand respect when storms roll in or branches start to fail.

That's why homeowners and property managers across New Orleans and surrounding areas call New Orleans Tree Service. Since 2015, our licensed crews have handled everything from hurricane prep pruning on heritage oaks to emergency removal after summer thunderstorms knock limbs onto roofs and power lines. We know this city's trees, its neighborhoods, and what it takes to keep them healthy or remove them safely when they've got to go.

Tree Service in New Orleans (70113)

New Orleans homeowners deal with mature trees on tight residential lots, many of them in HOA communities where visible removals need approval. Our oaks, maples, pines, and cedars grow thick and heavy in our humid climate. Add in power lines running close to rooflines, aging structures, and the constant threat of storm damage, and you've got a landscape that needs professional attention. We've pruned and removed trees on properties near the streetcar lines, in Mid-City neighborhoods where lot sizes are modest, and across the greater New Orleans area where mature specimens shade entire blocks.

Our team has been serving New Orleans since 2015. We're licensed arborists and fully insured. We handle the routine work, the emergency calls after storms, and the tricky removals where access is tight or city permits are required.

How a Job Works in New Orleans

You call us at (504) 949-0844 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site visit to walk your property, assess the tree or trees in question, discuss what you need, and give you a clear, honest quote. No surprises, no pressure.

Once you're ready to move forward, our crew shows up with the right equipment for the job. Whether it's precision pruning on a heritage oak, removal of a decayed water oak, or stump grinding on a tight Mid-City lot, we work efficiently and stay mindful of your neighbors and any HOA requirements. If power lines are involved, we coordinate carefully. If the tree sits on a property line, we know the rules.

When the work is done, we haul away the debris and leave your property clean. You get a final walkthrough so you see exactly what we've accomplished.

Tree removal in New Orleans typically starts at a free estimate. A small to medium oak removal might run $800 to $2,500 depending on size, species, and how tight the access is. Larger specimens, water oaks with decay, or trees near structures cost more. Tree trimming and pruning starts at $250 for smaller jobs. Stump grinding runs from $150 and up based on stump diameter. Emergency tree service is available year-round after storms, and we offer free estimates for land clearing and other major work. The biggest cost factors are tree size and species, site access (tight lots cost more), urgency, and debris volume. Call us at (504) 949-0844 for a free, no-obligation estimate tailored to your property.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in New Orleans?
Often yes. New Orleans has tree removal ordinances that protect certain species and require permits for trees above a set diameter. Heritage oaks and other protected species have strict rules. Before you cut anything down, we recommend having our licensed arborists assess whether a permit is needed. We handle the permitting process and make sure your removal stays compliant with city code.
My neighbor's oak limbs hang over my fence. What can I do?
You have the right to trim branches that cross the property line, but you cannot go onto your neighbor's property or damage the tree's health. If the overhang is severe or you're concerned about limbs threatening your roof or power lines, contact us. We can assess the situation and either trim the branches safely or help coordinate with your neighbor. If you're in an HOA community, check your bylaws first.
What's the best time to prune trees in New Orleans?
Late fall through winter, when trees are dormant, is ideal. Pruning during dormancy minimizes disease risk and stress on the tree. However, we handle emergency pruning and removal year-round, especially after summer thunderstorms. If you're thinking about preventive pruning before hurricane season, late summer is a good time to call us for a consultation.
How much does stump grinding cost in New Orleans?
Stump grinding starts at $150 for smaller stumps. Larger stumps, multiple stumps, or difficult access can run higher. The main factors are stump diameter, how many you need ground, and whether the grinder can reach them easily on your lot. Call (504) 949-0844 for a free estimate. We'll give you an exact price once we see the job.
Are you fully licensed and insured?
Yes. We're fully licensed and insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. When you hire New Orleans Tree Service, you're protected. We carry the credentials and insurance required to work safely on your property and on any job in the New Orleans area.
What do I do if a tree falls on my house after a storm?
Call us immediately at (504) 949-0844. We offer emergency tree removal 24/7. Don't try to move the tree or cut it yourself. We'll assess the damage, remove the tree safely, and coordinate with your insurance if needed. Storm season in New Orleans means we're ready to respond fast.
Can you help with tree removal on a tight Mid-City lot with power lines nearby?
Absolutely. Many New Orleans properties have limited access and power lines running overhead. Our team has years of experience working in dense neighborhoods where precision and safety are critical. We coordinate with utility companies when necessary and plan the removal carefully to protect your home, your neighbors, and the power lines.
