Precise Limb Removal Before Problems Start

Professional tree cutting and limb removal services in Northwest Louisiana that protect your roof, fence, and utility lines from damage.

You may have noticed a limb hanging too close to your roof in Shreveport, brushing against your siding when the wind picks up, or blocking the view as you back out of your driveway. Over time, these limbs do not stay where they are—they grow heavier, shift with weather, and eventually cause damage or fall when you least expect it.

Rushing's Tree Care LLC provides selective tree cutting and limb removal throughout Shreveport to address these risks before they turn into costly repairs. We assess which limbs need to come off based on their position, weight, and proximity to your home or power lines, then remove them using ropes and rigging to control the descent. This type of work is especially useful in tight spaces where a full tree removal is not necessary but specific branches are clearly in the way.

If you have limbs that need to come down around your Shreveport property, contact Rushing's Tree Care LLC to schedule a cutting service that keeps your structures safe.

How We Select and Remove Problem Limbs

When we arrive at your Shreveport property, we walk the area with you and identify which limbs are causing clearance issues, touching structures, or likely to fail during the next storm. We use chainsaws, pole saws, and rigging systems to remove limbs in sections, lowering them safely to the ground instead of letting them drop and damage your lawn or landscaping below.

After the limbs are removed, you will notice better clearance around your roof, improved sightlines near driveways and windows, and fewer branches scraping against your home during wind. Your property looks cleaner and the risk of limb-related damage drops significantly.

We chip smaller branches on-site and haul away larger sections unless you want to keep the wood. If a tree also needs trimming or pruning for health reasons, we can handle both services during the same visit. This service does not include stump grinding or tree planting, but we can refer you to those options if needed after the cutting is complete.

Common concerns before scheduling limb work

Homeowners in Shreveport often want to know what limb removal involves and whether it will affect the rest of the tree. These questions cover the practical details you should understand before we start.

What makes a limb a safety risk?
A limb is a risk if it hangs over your roof, leans toward power lines, blocks visibility near streets or driveways, or shows signs of cracking or decay. These conditions increase the chance of failure, especially during storms or high winds.
How do you remove limbs without damaging my property?
We use ropes and rigging to control each section as we cut, lowering it to the ground in a planned direction. This prevents limbs from falling freely and hitting your roof, fence, or landscaping.
Will cutting a large limb hurt the tree?
When done correctly, cutting a limb does not harm the tree as long as we make clean cuts at the branch collar and avoid removing too much at once. The tree seals the wound naturally and continues growing without issue.
What happens if the limb is near a power line?
If a limb is within ten feet of a power line, we coordinate with the utility company to make sure the work is done safely. In some cases, the utility will handle the cutting themselves if the line is directly involved.
How long does limb removal take?
Most residential limb removal jobs in Shreveport take between two and four hours depending on the size, location, and number of limbs. We give you a time estimate after assessing the work on-site.

Waiting to remove problem limbs only gives them more time to cause the damage you are trying to avoid. Rushing's Tree Care LLC can take care of selective tree cutting across Shreveport so your property stays clear and safe year-round.
