Tree service in Carencro, Louisiana

Carencro is a small city just north of Lafayette, with 9,272 residents in 2020. Its name comes from the Cajun French word for buzzard, and Bayou Carencro runs through the area on its way toward the Vermilion River. The town center, with St. Peter's Catholic Church and its cemetery, sits west of the river.

Bayou-side trees

Properties along Bayou Carencro and the Vermilion often have trees that lean toward the water and grow in soil that stays wet much of the year. The LSU AgCenter lists shallow roots in saturated ground as a leading reason trees blow over, so a heavy tree on a soft bank is one to watch. Crews usually take these down in sections and keep limbs out of the bayou.

Country lots north of town

Outside the town center, lots get bigger and more rural. Typical calls are trees across long driveways after a storm, Chinese tallow crowding fence lines and pastures, and old pines dying near barns and sheds. Chinese tallow is on the AgCenter's list of trees with low wind resistance.

Common jobs

• Leaning trees on bayou and river banks
• Clearing Chinese tallow along fence lines
• Cutting up trees that fell across driveways
• Stump grinding in yards and pastures
