From hazardous leaning trees to full lot clearing, AGS handles every removal safely and efficiently. Certified arborists, proper equipment, and zero damage to your property — guaranteed.
Tree removal is the complete extraction of a tree from your property — including felling, sectioning, and hauling all debris. It's a serious operation that requires trained arborists, the right equipment, and a well-planned approach to protect your home, fences, utilities, and landscaping.
At AGS Tree Services, we never take a chainsaw to a tree without a clear plan. Our certified arborists assess every angle — proximity to structures, soil conditions, tree lean, root system, and surrounding obstacles — before a single cut is made.
Whether it's a diseased tree threatening your roof, a post-storm hazard, or a full land clearing project, our team has the equipment and experience to handle it safely and efficiently, with no surprises on your final bill.
Since 2009
500+ Successful Removals — Zero Property DamageWaiting too long on a dangerous tree puts your family and property at risk. Here's what to watch for.
Fungal growth at the base, hollow cavities, or widespread bark damage signal internal decay. A structurally compromised tree can fall without warning.
High Risk →No leaf growth in spring, brittle branches that snap easily, and peeling bark are signs the tree is dead. Dead trees become unstable quickly.
Remove Soon →A sudden or significant lean — especially toward a structure — often means root failure or soil erosion. This is an emergency situation.
Emergency →Split trunks, major broken limbs, or trees pushed from their root plate by storms require immediate assessment and often removal.
Post-Storm →Trees within falling distance of your home, power lines, or fences with no room to correct via trimming may need to be removed entirely.
Preventive →Emerald ash borer, pine beetles, and other wood-boring insects can destroy a tree's structural integrity. Infested trees rarely recover.
Spreading Risk →Every removal follows a strict safety protocol developed over 15+ years of field experience.
We evaluate the tree's lean, condition, root system, and surrounding hazards. A drop zone is established and escape routes are planned before any work begins.
We protect your lawn, garden beds, fences, and structures with ground cover mats and rigging systems. Nothing is left to chance.
Large or tight-space trees are removed in controlled sections from the top down. Open-area trees may be felled in one controlled cut. Cranes are used when needed.
We cut stumps flush to grade as standard. Full stump grinding to below-ground level is available as an add-on — highly recommended before replanting or landscaping.
All wood, branches, and chips are hauled away the same day. We leave your property clean and ready — no piles, no cleanup left for you.
Equipment on every job
We choose the right technique for each situation — no one-size-fits-all approach.
For trees in open areas with a clear drop zone. The most efficient method — the tree is cut at the base and directed to fall in a controlled path.
Open AreasFor trees in tight spaces near structures. Branches and trunk sections are removed from the top down, with each piece carefully rigged and lowered.
Near StructuresFor very large, hazardous, or inaccessible trees. A crane holds sections as they're cut, allowing precision placement without any uncontrolled dropping.
Large / ComplexWhen ladders and climbing aren't enough, our bucket truck gives arborists elevated access to work safely on tall trees near power lines or structures.
Tall TreesFor new construction, storm-cleared lots, or large properties. We coordinate efficient large-scale removal with minimal disruption to surrounding landscape.
Commercial / LotsStorm-damaged, actively falling, or blocking-access trees require immediate response. Our 24/7 emergency team is dispatched within hours.
24/7 ResponseNot all problematic trees need immediate removal. Here's how we evaluate risk so you can make an informed decision.
Tree is actively leaning toward a structure, has a split trunk, or is showing root plate heaving. Risk of failure is imminent.
EmergencySignificant decay, dead crown over 50%, or major structural defects with a clear target (home, car, playground). Removal within days, not weeks.
High PriorityDeclining health, partial disease spread, or branches approaching structures. Monitoring and scheduling within the season is appropriate.
Monitor & PlanTree is healthy but unwanted, interfering with landscaping, or in the way of construction. Removal is elective and can be scheduled at your convenience.
ElectiveTree removal is one of the most dangerous DIY jobs — it causes more fatalities than any other home improvement task. Here's what professionals bring that you can't replicate.
Cranes, bucket trucks, wood chippers, and stump grinders that take precision far beyond what's available to rent.
Knowing how a tree will fall isn't guesswork — it's physics, experience, and certified training working together.
Our liability insurance and worker's compensation protect you if anything goes wrong. An uninsured contractor leaves you holding the bill.
Kickback injuries, tree falling the wrong direction, hitting power lines, and root damage to foundations are all common DIY removal mistakes.
Tree stumps left behind attract termites, carpenter ants, and fungal growth — and they make mowing a nightmare. Our stump grinding service removes stumps below the soil line, leaving your yard clean and ready for replanting or landscaping.

Everything you need to know before scheduling your tree removal.
Most residential removals are completed in a single day. Small trees can take 1–2 hours; large or complex removals near structures may take a full day. Multi-tree or land clearing projects are scheduled over multiple days.
It depends on your municipality, tree size, and whether it's a protected species. Some cities in Louisiana and Texas require permits for trees above a certain trunk diameter. We advise you during the free assessment and handle permit coordination when needed.
We use ground protection mats and equipment pads to minimize impact on your lawn and garden beds. In 15+ years of operation, we've maintained a zero property damage record on completed jobs.
Yes — this is one of the most common emergency calls we handle. We use rigging and crane equipment to safely remove the tree section by section without causing further damage to the structure.
Branches are chipped on-site and the trunk is cut into manageable rounds for hauling. If you want to keep the firewood, just let us know — we're happy to leave split rounds on your property at no extra charge.
Standard removal includes cutting the stump flush to the ground. Full stump grinding (6–12" below grade) is an add-on service — we offer a bundle discount when booked with the tree removal. It's highly recommended before replanting.
Call us for a free on-site assessment. We're available 7 days a week and offer same-day emergency response across all our service areas.
A massive oak had split and was resting on my roof. AGS was there within 3 hours, removed it section by section without any damage. Incredible work under pressure.
Removed three dead pines near my fence line. They protected the fence perfectly, cleaned everything up, and were done before noon. Fair price and great crew.
Used AGS for a full lot clearing before our new construction. They handled 20+ trees efficiently and left the property completely clean. Highly professional team.
Had a diseased tree in my backyard that I was nervous about. AGS came out the same day I called, assessed it, and had it removed the next morning. Very reassuring experience.
Best value I found after getting 4 quotes. They also caught a second tree I hadn't noticed was rotting. Honest, skilled, and clean — will call them again.
