Terrytown's 1960s subdivisions are defined by mature water oaks and live oaks that tower over slab foundations, creating both the neighborhood's character and its biggest tree challenges. When those massive oaks start dropping limbs or their roots threaten your foundation, you need a crew that knows exactly what they're doing.
New Orleans Tree Service has been serving Terrytown (70056) and the surrounding New Orleans area since 2015. We understand the specific pressures these older neighborhoods face: trees that are beautiful but aging, tight lot access, power lines running through yards, and HOA communities where removal decisions need coordination. That's why homeowners and property managers in Terrytown call us first.
Tree Service in Terrytown (70056)
Terrytown's landscape is dominated by water oaks and live oaks, many of which were planted when these subdivisions were built in the 1960s. That means you're dealing with trees that are now 60+ years old, often planted too close to slab foundations or directly over septic systems. The shallow, compacted soils common to residential lots here don't help matters. Combine that with hurricane season, summer thunderstorms, and occasional high winds, and you've got trees under real stress.
We've worked throughout Terrytown for nearly a decade, handling everything from preventive pruning to emergency removals after storms. Our certified arborists assess root conflict with foundations, identify hazard limbs before they fail, and recommend trimming or removal based on what your property actually needs. We're fully licensed and insured, and we know the local permitting requirements for tree removal in this area.

How a Job Works in Terrytown
First, we come out for a free on-site assessment. We'll walk your property, look at the tree or trees in question, check for power lines, assess access to your yard, and discuss what you're trying to accomplish. Whether it's a hazard removal, routine trimming, or stump grinding, we'll give you a straight estimate with no surprises.
When we show up to work, we bring the right equipment for Terrytown lots: we can navigate tight side yards between houses, coordinate with HOA requirements if needed, and work safely around the power lines that run through many of these neighborhoods. We handle the entire job, from the first cut to the last piece of debris hauled away. If you have a stump, we grind it below grade so you can replant or pave over the spot.
We leave your property clean. Chip debris is removed or chipped on-site per your preference, and we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets your expectations.
Tree removal in Terrytown typically starts at a free estimate, because the cost depends entirely on the tree's size, species, condition, and how accessible it is. A small to medium oak removal (30-50 feet) usually runs $800 to $2,500. Larger mature oaks can be $3,000 to $6,000 or more. Stump grinding runs from $150 for a small stump up to $400-$600 for a large oak stump. Tree trimming and pruning start at $250, and hedge or shrub work starts at $45. Emergency storm removal is available year-round at emergency rates. The best way to know what your specific job will cost is to call us at (504) 949-0844 for a free estimate.
