“Had one of their arborists come out to assess a couple of trees in my yard that didn't look healthy. He was really knowledgeable, spent time explaining what he saw, and gave me a detailed report on the condition of each tree. Turned out one just needed some pruning but the other was diseased and needed to come down. Appreciated the honest assessment instead of just trying to sell me unnecessary work.”
Arborist Consultation
“They trimmed back all the overgrown hedges along my property line and around the front of the house. The crew was here for about 3 hours, and they left the yard looking so much cleaner. Everything's shaped up nice and even now.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We weren't sure if we should remove the old oak trees on our rural property or try to save them. The arborist came out and walked us through the pros and cons of each option. His advice helped us make the right call for our land.”
Arborist Consultation
“After they took down a big tree in my backyard, I had them grind out the stump. The whole thing was done in one afternoon and they hauled away all the debris. Now I've got a smooth, level spot where that ugly stump used to be.”
Stump Grinding
“Had a dead oak tree that was way too close to the house. The crew showed up, took it down safely without any damage to the roof or fence, and had everything cleaned up by the end of the day. Professional and efficient.”
Tree Removal
“The big oak in my front yard was getting out of hand and blocking the view of the street. They came and pruned it back really well, took off about 30% of the canopy. It looks balanced now and lets in way more light. Two-man crew, done in half a day.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“A young tree had grown way too close to my garage and was starting to cause issues. They removed it cleanly and ground the stump so there's nothing left. Wish I'd called them sooner instead of worrying about it for months.”
Tree Removal
“We have this massive oak tree in the backyard that's been there for decades. They trimmed it up beautifully, removed the dead branches, and shaped it so it looks majestic again instead of overgrown. The cleanup was thorough, they even swept up the smaller debris.”

Baton Rouge Tree Service is your trusted local partner for professional tree care across Baton Rouge and the surrounding region. Whether you're a homeowner in the historic neighborhoods near the State Capitol, the leafy streets of the Garden District, or the newer subdivisions spreading through Central, Zachary, Denham Springs, and Ascension Parish, our team understands the unique challenges that Baton Rouge's trees face. We've built our reputation by delivering reliable, licensed, and insured service to families and property owners throughout East Baton Rouge Parish and beyond.
Homeowners searching for tree service near me in Baton Rouge know that the city's magnificent live oaks, water oaks, and pecans require expert care in our humid Gulf Coast climate and heavy clay soil. From the raised Creole cottages of Spanish Town to the brick ranches of Broadmoor and the new-build neighborhoods of Baker, our arborists and crew members have the skills and equipment to handle every job safely and professionally. When you need help, call us at (225) 327-1974 or request a free estimate today.
Tree removal in Baton Rouge demands speed, precision, and deep local knowledge. Our region's aging water oaks are prone to heart rot and hypoxylon canker that weakens the trunk from within, while the saturated clay soil and high water table leave shallow root plates vulnerable to uprooting during heavy rain or wind. Large trees over structures, driveways, and power lines pose real risk to your family and property. Baton Rouge Tree Service specializes in safe removal of hazardous trees, whether they're failing from age, disease, or storm damage.
Emergency tree removal is our highest priority. From June through November, tropical storms and hurricanes threaten Baton Rouge with sudden downbursts and falling limbs. A tree can fall on your roof, vehicle, or power line in minutes. If you're facing a fallen tree, dangerous hanging limbs, or storm damage, do not wait. Call (225) 327-1974 immediately for 24/7 emergency tree service. Our crews respond rapidly to secure your property and restore safety.
Large tree removal also applies to planned work: removing dead trees before they fail, clearing sightlines, or taking down trees that conflict with new construction or renovations. Whether the job is urgent or scheduled, our fully insured team manages every aspect, from rigging heavy limbs away from your home to grinding the stump and hauling debris. Get a detailed assessment by contacting us for a free estimate.
The cost of tree removal in Baton Rouge depends on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how close it stands to your home or power lines, soil conditions and root plate depth, and the complexity of the removal itself. A small crape myrtle removal costs far less than taking down a massive live oak draped in Spanish moss. Access, equipment needs, and whether stump grinding is included also affect the final price. Rather than guess, we recommend getting a professional assessment from our team to understand the true scope of work and investment required for your property.
Visit our pricing page for details on typical costs and service rates, or contact us directly for a personalized quote based on your specific trees and needs.
Beyond emergency removal, Baton Rouge Tree Service delivers comprehensive tree care. Stump grinding eliminates the unsightly remains and roots left behind after felling, restoring your yard for replanting or landscaping. Tree trimming and pruning keeps your live oaks, pecans, and magnolias healthy, removes crossing branches and deadwood, and reduces risk of limb failure over your roof or driveway. We also provide hedge trimming and shrub care, land clearing for new construction or property development, and arborist consultation to diagnose disease, pest damage, or structural concerns.
Many cities within Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish require permits before removing trees above a certain size or diameter. Protected tree ordinances may apply to heritage oaks and other species, and if your property is in an HOA community, approval for visible removals may be needed before work begins. Neighbor disputes over overhanging limbs or property line issues can also complicate the process. Rather than navigate these rules alone, let Baton Rouge Tree Service guide you through the permitting and approval process. Our experience with local regulations helps ensure your removal is compliant and hassle-free.
When you're unsure whether a permit applies to your job, contact your local building department or reach out to us for advice. Call (225) 327-1974 or request a free estimate, and we'll help clarify what's required before work begins.
