Tree Removal in Lakeview, New Orleans
Lakeview's mature oaks and storm-battered pines don't always make it through hurricane season intact. When a tree is leaning toward your Robert E. Lee Boulevard fence line or dropping limbs over your roof after a tropical system, Louisiana's Own Landscaping Company is the crew Lakeview homeowners call. We know this neighborhood — the tight lots along the lakefront, the older slab homes on Pontchartrain Drive, the way standing water after a storm can compromise root systems overnight.

Tree Removal for Lakeview
Tree removal is the safe, controlled process of cutting down and hauling away a tree that poses a structural risk, is dead or diseased, or is causing damage to your property. In Lakeview — a neighborhood that flooded catastrophically during Katrina and has spent nearly two decades rebuilding — homeowners can't afford to gamble on a compromised tree. A professional removal protects your roof, your slab, your fence, and your neighbor's property. We handle everything from the initial cut to stump grinding and debris cleanup, leaving your yard clear and ready for whatever comes next. Whether it's a single water oak or multiple storm-damaged trees after a named storm, we scope the job correctly from the start.
- Removal of dead, diseased, storm-damaged, or structurally unsound trees on residential and commercial properties
- Experience with water oaks, live oaks, slash pines, and other species common to Lakeview lots
- Stump grinding included or available as an add-on — we don't leave you with an eyesore
- Emergency response available after named storms and high-wind events affecting the Lakeview area
- Full debris removal and haul-away — no piles left at the curb for weeks
- Careful equipment staging to protect driveways, fences, and landscaping on tight Lakeview lots

FAQ
Tree Removal in Lakeview — common questions
How much does tree removal cost in Lakeview?
Cost depends on the tree's size, species, condition, and how close it is to your house or other structures. A small dead tree in an open yard costs significantly less than a large water oak overhanging a roof on a narrow lot. We give you a firm quote after the on-site assessment — no surprises.
My tree didn't fall but it's leaning after a storm. Does it need to come down?
A post-storm lean is a serious warning sign, especially in Lakeview where saturated soil can cause root systems to shift or fail entirely. We'll assess whether the tree can be stabilized or whether removal is the safer call. We won't push you toward removal if it isn't necessary.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in New Orleans?
The City of New Orleans does regulate removal of certain trees, particularly large oaks and trees in historic districts. We're familiar with local ordinance requirements and can help you understand what applies to your specific property before any work begins.
How quickly can you respond after a hurricane or tropical storm?
We prioritize emergency calls from existing and new customers in Lakeview after major weather events. Response times depend on storm volume, but we work through the queue as fast as safely possible and keep you updated on your place in line.
Will you remove the stump, or is that a separate service?
Stump grinding is available as part of the removal package or as a standalone service. We recommend grinding rather than leaving stumps in place — they're a tripping hazard, they attract termites, and they make replanting or regrading the area much harder.

Lakeview residents call us because we understand the specific pressure this neighborhood faces every June through November. We work regularly along the Lake Vista canals and on properties backing up to Marconi Drive, where root systems are often waterlogged and tree stability is unpredictable. Louisiana's Own is a local New Orleans company — not a storm-chasing crew from out of state — and we're here before, during, and after the season.
