"They were very professional from the beginning until the end.  Mr. Broussard came by at the pre-arranged time to survey the trees and give me an estimate.  On the day of the service, he personally supervised the entire process.  When finished, all of the debris was picked up and hauled away.  I would recommend Billy Broussard to anyone.

"I'm EXCEPTIONALLY satisfied with the work performed by Perrodin's Lawn Service.  I found this company on Angie's List and gave them a call.  I live in Virginia and needed work done in Opelousas, La.  I texted pictures of the work that I needed to get completed and was quoted a price over the phone.  Within a few days they went out to the job site and gave me a final quote and began to complete the job.  I must say that not only did this company do a GREAT job but their customer service is outstanding.  Working with this company provided a PHENOMENAL experience.  This is a TOP NOTCH company and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to anyone needing work in their work coverage area.  Admirable work with outstanding customer service.  No other company can compare to the QUALITY this company provides their customers.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.
