Serving Covington

Tree removal & trimming for Covington properties.

Covington is home base. Our office is on Coastal Boulevard, and a lot of our week is spent between the Bogue Falaya and the Tchefuncte — big pines in older neighborhoods, oaks over downtown driveways, and wooded lots off LA-21, LA-25 and LA-190 that need opening up.

Inside town we do the careful work: removing hazard trees beside houses, power drops and fences, and pruning shade trees the right way. Outside city limits, the jobs get bigger — homesites, driveway paths, fence lines and acreage that we clear with a tracked forestry mulcher.

Local know-how

What to know about tree and land work in Covington.

A few things specific to Covington that shape how we plan your job.

  1. City of Covington permits

    The City of Covington requires a tree removal permit before removing any tree larger than 6 inches DBH in all zoning districts inside city limits. Properties with a Covington address in unincorporated St. Tammany follow parish rules instead. We’ll help you check before work starts.

  2. Rivers and low ground

    Land near the Bogue Falaya, Tchefuncte and their creeks is often low and wet. Our tracked equipment spreads its weight, and we walk every site first to flag drainage and any area that may need a wetland review.

  3. City lots and country acreage

    Covington jobs range from a single pine between two houses to multiple acres north of I-12. One crew, one quote, and the right equipment for each.

Covington FAQ

Common questions from Covington.

Nearby areas we also serve:

Do I need a permit to cut down a tree in Covington?

Inside Covington city limits, a tree removal permit is required for any tree over 6 inches DBH. Many Covington mailing addresses are actually in unincorporated St. Tammany Parish, which has different rules. Send us the address and we’ll help you sort out which applies.

Yes. Hook & Ladder Tree Service is based on Coastal Boulevard in Covington and works throughout St. Tammany, Washington and Tangipahoa parishes.

Can you clear a wooded lot in Covington for a new house?

Yes. We remove the trees that have to go, mulch the underbrush and small trees in place, and grind stumps where the house, driveway or drain field will sit.
