Storm Prep and Tree Risk Reduction
We help homeowners prepare for hurricane season with proactive tree care. Our storm prep services include structural pruning, canopy thinning, and the removal of dead or high-risk trees. We also offer bracing for vulnerable limbs and pre-storm inspections tailored to Metairie’s weather patterns.
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.

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.

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.

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.
