Help with big oak trees

[tim3516]

I'm looking for a tree service company to trim some big oaks. Looking for someone that climbs instead of using a bucket

[RickLafayette]

Tim, let me know who you decide on. I'm picking up 10 lbs. of dead branches a week and I can't get a bucket in my back yard.

rapid robert. did my neighbors and did a good job. he'll be trimming mine when i'm ready

My parents have a yard full of 100-200 year old oak trees. they use Jims tree service. They have also used Bob's tree service, and he does great work, but is also the most expensive.

[tim3516]

I should have mentioned it's in Lafayette. It's for my mom, she wants to get some bids and get an idea of what gonna cost.

Ed I found a # for a rapid Robert located in church point, is that the guy?

Thanks meaux I'll forward the names

[tim3516]

Meaux I'm finding Jim's in kaplan is that the one?

[Dogface]

Trees unlimited. Talk to Steve or Rusty. They are in Lafayette and have a climber.

Anyone but Bob's...

I have a buddy who works at the FireDepartment who climbs and grooms trees on the side. Let me know if you still need and I can get you in touch with him.

Make sure whoever you use is licensed and insured. This is a very dangerous profession. Don't use someone doing it in their spare time.

[Ed32]

yeah i believe they're in church point.

Bump!! Climbing is not something to do in your spare time!! I sell equipment to these guys and have spent a lot of time watching quality climbers. Awesome and scary to watch- makes my a$& clamp watching. Yes licenses and insurance a must for sure!!

I use Arbor Care for all of our projects. They do a heck of a good job,and have really good prices. Dont call Bobs unless you want him to talk you into using his "special mulch" around your trees too.
