“Had a massive oak tree hanging over our roof that was making me nervous every time the wind picked up. Lafayette Tree Service came out and trimmed it back beautifully, they got it down to a manageable size without making it look hacked up. The crew cleaned up every branch and chip, and I can actually see my gutters now.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“We had an old pine tree that was dying, and these guys removed it professionally and stacked the wood neatly on the side of the property like we asked. They were done in about 4 hours with a crew of three, and the site was left completely clear. Really impressed with how organized they were.”
Tree Removal
“We needed our front hedges shaped up for the spring, and Lafayette Tree Service did a solid job. They're not quite as dense as I hoped they'd be, but the overall look is clean and uniform. Good work, though I probably should've asked for more detail upfront.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“Called them out to assess some trees on our property that we weren't sure about keeping or removing. The arborist spent time explaining the health of each tree and gave us honest recommendations. We ended up having them handle some pruning work based on what they suggested, and it's made a real difference.”
Arborist Consultation
“Needed to clear out a section of our backyard to make room for a fire pit area. They removed several smaller trees and overgrown brush, and left the space ready to go. The whole job took less time than expected and they hauled everything away.”
Land Clearing
“My shrubs were getting out of control along the property line. These guys came in and shaped everything up, it looks like a completely different yard now.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We had Lafayette Tree Service clear out the overgrown area behind our house where we wanted to add an outdoor space. They removed dead trees, brush, and debris, and left the ground level and ready. The transformation was incredible and they were respectful of the rest of the property.”
Land Clearing
“After removing a big oak, we had this ugly stump sitting in the middle of the yard. Lafayette Tree Service ground it out completely, the whole thing was gone, roots and all. Now we can actually use that part of the lawn again.”

When homeowners search for tree service near me in Lafayette, they're looking for a company that knows local trees, respects their property, and responds quickly to urgent needs. That's exactly what Lafayette Tree Service delivers. From massive live oaks draped in Spanish moss to water oaks, magnolias, and pecans that define our canopy, we have the knowledge and equipment to handle every species and situation safely. Get a free estimate today and see why local homeowners trust us.
Storm damage, fallen trees, and hazardous limbs are serious threats to your home, vehicles, and family safety in Lafayette. When heavy winds topple a massive live oak onto your roof, or a water-damaged pecan tree develops a dangerous hanging limb above your carport, you need immediate professional help. Lafayette Tree Service provides emergency tree removal and emergency tree service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our crews are trained to safely remove large trees from tight spaces, extract fallen timber from structures, and clear hazardous debris before it causes further damage.
Whether you're dealing with a storm-damaged top threatening your power lines, a tree leaning toward your gallery or screened porch, or a complete removal needed after weather strikes, our fully insured team responds fast. Large tree removal in Lafayette demands precision equipment, proper rigging, and deep knowledge of our local soil and property layouts. We handle the complexity so you can focus on your family's safety. Call (337) 434-3861 immediately if you have an emergency, or contact us online for same-day or next-day assessment.
Beyond emergency situations, planned tree removal protects your property from future risk. Trees that are diseased, structurally unsound, too close to your home, or simply in the way of your plans can be safely removed by our experienced arborists. We'll assess the tree's health, evaluate the safest removal strategy, and handle all cleanup. Whether it's a single tree in your yard or multiple removals across your property, we work efficiently and leave your landscape clean.
The cost of tree removal, trimming, and other services in Lafayette depends on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how easy it is to access, how close it stands to your home or other structures, and the full scope of work you need done. A small crepe myrtle removal costs far less than taking down a 60-foot live oak with multiple large limbs. Similarly, stump grinding, debris hauling, and land clearing add to the overall project cost. For a clear breakdown of what to expect, visit our pricing page, or request a free estimate so we can evaluate your specific trees and property.
Beyond emergency and removal work, Lafayette Tree Service handles the routine maintenance and land management that keeps your yard healthy and attractive. Stump grinding removes the remains of felled trees quickly and completely, while tree trimming and pruning promotes healthy growth, improves sight lines, and prevents future damage. We also offer hedge trimming and shrub care for your azaleas, ligustrum, and wax myrtle borders. For larger property projects, our land clearing service prepares acreage for new construction or landscaping, and our arborist consultation service provides expert advice on tree health and long-term care.
Many cities and municipalities in the Lafayette area require permits for tree removal, particularly when trees exceed a certain diameter or are designated as heritage or protected species. Live oaks, in particular, may be subject to local ordinances in some jurisdictions. Property line rules may also apply if a neighbor's tree limbs overhang your property, and if you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, approval for visible removals may be necessary before work begins. Lafayette Tree Service is familiar with local permitting requirements and can advise you on the process during your free estimate. We recommend checking with your local building department or city office to confirm what applies to your specific situation.
