Removing Trees Without Damaging What Stays

Professional tree removal services for properties throughout Northwest Louisiana

You may have a tree that died over the winter, one that leans too close to your roof, or branches that scrape your gutters every time wind picks up in Shreveport. When a tree stops being an asset and becomes a risk, removal is often the safest option. Rushing's Tree Care LLC handles tree removals across Shreveport using controlled methods designed to protect your home, your landscaping, and anything else that sits in or near the work zone.

The removal process starts with an evaluation of the tree, nearby structures, and access points. Trees are sectioned and lowered in pieces when needed, or felled in one cut when space allows. The goal is always to bring the tree down without damaging fences, driveways, flower beds, or power lines. Equipment like cranes, rigging ropes, and chainsaws are used based on the layout of your property and the size of the tree being removed.

If you need a tree removed from your Shreveport property, schedule an on-site evaluation to walk through your options and determine the safest approach for your space.

What Happens During a Controlled Tree Removal

When you schedule a removal in Shreveport, the crew arrives with the equipment needed to dismantle or fell the tree safely. Ropes and rigging are used to guide sections of the tree as they are cut, especially when working near a structure or under a canopy of other trees. The process is loud and involves chainsaw work, so you will hear it, but it is also methodical.

After the tree is down, you will notice the area is cleared of major debris. The trunk and larger limbs are cut into manageable sections and hauled away unless you request otherwise. The stump remains unless grinding is added as part of the service. Your yard will look open where the tree once stood, and nearby plants or hardscaping will remain intact if the removal was performed with proper clearance planning.

This service does not include stump grinding, soil grading, or replanting. If you want the stump removed or the ground leveled afterward, those are separate services that can be scheduled at the same time or later. The main goal is to take down the tree without causing secondary damage to your property.

You probably have a question or two before moving forward

Homeowners scheduling tree removal for the first time often want to know what to expect on the day of service, how long it takes, and whether their yard will be left in good condition.

What types of trees are typically removed in Shreveport?
You might be removing a dead pine, a leaning oak, or a Bradford pear that split during a storm. Any tree that poses a risk to your home or has died can be safely removed.
How long does a typical tree removal take?
Most removals take between two and six hours depending on tree size, location, and access. A small tree in an open yard goes faster than a large one near power lines or between two houses.
What happens to the wood after the tree is removed?
Logs and large limbs are hauled away unless you ask to keep them for firewood. Smaller debris is chipped or removed as part of the cleanup process.
How close can you work to my house or driveway?
Crews can work within a few feet of structures using rigging and sectioning methods. The tree is lowered in pieces to avoid contact with roofing, siding, or pavement.
Will the stump be removed as part of this service?
No, the stump remains unless you add stump grinding. It can be scheduled along with the removal or handled separately after the tree is down.
