Serving Mandeville

Tree removal & trimming for Mandeville properties.

Mandeville is live oak country. Big, old canopies shade the streets near the lakefront, and many of the neighborhoods off LA-22, LA-59 and LA-190 were built right into stands of tall loblolly and slash pine. That mix is beautiful — and it’s exactly what we see after every storm season: pines leaning toward roofs, oak limbs over driveways, and backyards nobody can get a truck into.

Hook & Ladder handles Mandeville jobs with an aerial spider lift that fits through a standard gate, a Louisiana licensed arborist on the job, and a crew that cleans up like we were never there. For new builds and infill lots, we also clear brush and small trees with our forestry mulcher.

Local know-how

What to know about tree and land work in Mandeville.

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

  1. City of Mandeville tree rules

    Inside city limits, Mandeville regulates removal of live oaks 6 inches in diameter (DBH) and larger, and pruning of protected trees is expected to be recommended and supervised by a licensed arborist or state forester. We’ll help you figure out what needs a permit before anything gets cut.

  2. Tight lots, big trees

    Many Mandeville backyards have pools, fences and patios between the street and the tree. Our tracked lift sets up on mats and lowers wood in sections, so we don’t need to drop whole trees or drive a bucket truck across your lawn.

  3. Storm prep for lakefront wind

    Tall pines with a lean, cracked tops or dead limbs are the trees we see fail first when a tropical system crosses the lake. A storm-season walkthrough is one of the most useful things you can book in early summer.

Mandeville FAQ

Common questions from Mandeville.

Nearby areas we also serve:

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Mandeville?

Inside Mandeville city limits, removing a live oak 6 inches DBH or larger requires city approval, and other protected trees have rules too. Addresses with a Mandeville mailing address but outside city limits fall under St. Tammany Parish instead. Tell us the address when you request a quote and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Can you get equipment into a fenced Mandeville backyard?

Usually, yes. Our aerial spider lift tracks through a standard gate opening and sets up on outriggers, so we can reach the top of a tall pine without driving a truck across the yard.

Do you trim live oaks?

Yes. Live oaks get crown thinning, end-weight reduction, deadwood removal and clearance pruning — not topping. Done right, it reduces storm risk and keeps the tree healthy.

Tell us about the trees — or the acreage.
