Tree Removal in Metairie, Louisiana
Metairie's older subdivisions — Metairie Ridge, Bucktown, Old Metairie — are packed with mature trees that add shade and character but also create real liability when they start to fail. Louisiana's Own Landscaping Company works throughout Jefferson Parish, and we've cleared everything from crape myrtles crowding a Veterans Memorial Boulevard storefront to massive live oaks threatening a slab home off Transcontinental Drive. Metairie's suburban lot sizes and older tree canopy mean removal jobs here require precision, not just a chainsaw.

Tree Removal for Metairie
Tree removal is the professional, controlled process of safely taking down a tree that is dead, diseased, structurally compromised, or dangerously positioned relative to your home, fence, or utility lines. In Metairie, where lots are often smaller and homes sit close together, a falling tree doesn't just damage your property — it can take out your neighbor's fence, car, or roof. Hiring a professional crew means the work is planned, staged, and executed in sections to avoid exactly that. We handle trees of all sizes, coordinate around overhead lines when needed, and leave the property clean. This is the kind of job where cutting corners costs far more than doing it right the first time.
- Residential and commercial tree removal throughout Metairie and Jefferson Parish
- Sectional takedowns for tight lots and properties with structures on multiple sides
- Removal of storm-damaged, root-heaving, or utility-line-threatening trees
- Stump grinding to below-grade level so you can sod, pave, or replant the area
- Emergency availability following high-wind events and tropical weather
- Experience with species common to Metairie: live oaks, crape myrtles, Bradford pears, slash pines, and more
What to expect
Your tree removal visit, step by step
On-Site Quote
We visit your Metairie property to assess the tree, check clearances from your home and neighboring structures, and give you a straightforward written estimate.
Job Planning & Staging
We plan the equipment approach — whether that's a bucket truck on a wider street or a more manual sectional takedown on a tight residential lot — before the crew arrives.
Controlled Removal
The tree comes down in planned sections, with crew members positioned to direct fall and protect surrounding property throughout the process.
Full Cleanup & Haul-Away
We chip branches, cut the trunk into manageable sections, grind the stump if requested, and haul everything away — your yard is clean when we leave.

FAQ
Tree Removal in Metairie — common questions
Can you remove a tree that's very close to my house or fence in Metairie?
Yes — this is one of the most common situations we handle in Metairie's older subdivisions. We use sectional removal techniques, rigging, and careful positioning to bring the tree down without damaging adjacent structures. The closer the tree is to something valuable, the more important it is to use a crew that plans the job properly.
My tree's roots are lifting my driveway or sidewalk. Should I remove it?
Root heaving is a common problem with older live oaks and water oaks on Metairie's established streets. Removal is often the right call when roots are damaging foundations, driveways, or sewer lines — but we'll give you an honest assessment of your options rather than defaulting to removal if it isn't warranted.
Do I need a permit for tree removal in Jefferson Parish?
Jefferson Parish has its own tree ordinance separate from the City of New Orleans. Requirements depend on the tree species, size, and location. We can walk you through what applies to your specific situation during the assessment visit.
How long does a typical tree removal take in Metairie?
A single mid-size tree on a standard Metairie residential lot usually takes a half day to a full day, including cleanup. Larger trees, multiple trees, or particularly tight access situations take longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when we quote the job.
What happens to the wood after the tree is removed?
We chip branches and haul away all debris. Large trunk sections can be left on your property if you want firewood, or we take those too — your call. We don't leave piles of material behind for you to deal with.
