Tree Trimming & Pruning – Prevent Breakage Before It Starts

Proper pruning prevents bigger problems. We remove hazardous limbs, shape overgrown trees, and reduce storm risk – especially for species common in Metairie like live oaks, magnolias, crepe myrtles, and palms.

  • Structural pruning to reduce limb failure
  • Clearance trimming over driveways, roofs, sidewalks
  • Seasonal timing based on local growth patterns
  • Inspection for fungal growth or pest infestation

Get ahead of the next wind event with smart, strategic pruning.

Stump Grinding & Root Removal

Old stumps don’t just look bad — they invite pests, attract fungus, and create tripping hazards. We grind stumps flush and remove surface roots where needed, fast and clean.

  • Flat-rate pricing, no surprises
  • Cleanup included
  • Optional topsoil refill or replanting

If you’ve got mushrooms around a stump, it’s time to take care of it.

Arborist Tree Health Assessments & Permit Help

Not sure if a tree can be saved? Our licensed arborists provide honest, on-site evaluations. Some trees can be saved with selective pruning or bracing – others need to come down.

  • Certified hazard assessments
  • Clear recommendations — no upsells
  • Jefferson Parish permit assistance
  • HOA letter support (Lake Villa, Bonnabel Place, etc.)

We follow ANSI A300 standards and give straight answers.

Additional Service: Tree Fertilization

In Metairie’s compact clay soils, trees often struggle to get the nutrients they need. Deep-root fertilization restores soil balance, supports healthy root growth, and improves resilience against pests, disease, and drought stress. It’s a smart step for long-term tree health and stability.

Local Tree Challenges in Metairie

Clay-heavy soils hold water after storms – sometimes roots stay wet for days, other times, drainage shifts everything. Not every yard reacts the same. Add in high winds and storm cycles, and even strong trees become unstable. Pests like bark beetles or webworms can tip things over the edge.

Tree health shifts with the seasons. In spring, we see quick new growth and fungal flare-ups. Summer heat stresses young trees. And by fall, if pruning hasn’t been done, branches start hanging low. Some HOAs in Lake Villa even require written approval before removal.

We’ve seen it all. We know the permit rules, HOA preferences, and neighborhood patterns. This is home turf.

What to Expect When You Work With Us

The process is straightforward and professional from start to finish. Once you contact us, we’ll schedule a prompt on-site assessment. You’ll receive a clear, written estimate with no hidden fees or vague language.

We coordinate a service date that works for your schedule and communicate with you throughout the project. During the job, our crew maintains a clean, safe worksite and takes care to protect your property.

When the work is complete, we leave your space clean, safe, and fully restored — no loose ends, no debris, and no surprises.

Seasonal Tree Care Tips

  • Live oaks – prune late winter, usually. Unless the weather’s off.
  • Palms – clear fronds after a freeze, but not too soon.
  • Hurricane prep? Sooner’s better, but not everyone remembers.
  • After summer rains, check for root exposure or fungus near the base.
  • Late fall is ideal for structural pruning before dormancy sets in.

TESTIMONIALS

What do our clients say?

Christopher

A Perfect Cut Tree Service Client

Thank you for all the work that you and your men did for Sandra and me at our home. The work that you all did to get my live oak tree trimmed and then cutting down other large trees and shrubs, hauling away and stump grinding was fantastic. Not only was the job done very professionally and thoroughly with great attention to detail, the property looked as if you had vacuum-cleaned up too.
