Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree removal cost in Baton Rouge?
Tree removal costs $500–$5,000+ depending on tree size, location, and complexity. Small trees (20–30 ft) typically cost $500–$1,500. Large trees (60+ ft) or trees near structures cost $2,000–$5,000+. We provide free estimates.
Will insurance cover tree removal?
Insurance typically covers removal of trees that fall on your home or damage your property during a covered event (storm, wind, lightning). Removal of healthy trees for prevention is usually not covered. We help document damage for insurance claims.
How fast can you remove a tree?
Emergency removal can happen within 24 hours. For non-emergencies, we typically schedule within 3–7 days. Call (225) 278-1774 for immediate availability.
Do you remove the stump?
Yes. We grind stumps below ground level, allowing you to replant or landscape. Stump grinding is included in most removal quotes.
What happens to the wood and debris?
We remove all debris from your property. Wood chips can be left for mulch, or we haul everything away. Discuss preferences during your estimate.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. We communicate directly with insurance adjusters, provide detailed documentation, and help ensure your claim is processed correctly.
