This company came in on a Friday and started, very polite and on time. I was amazed at the work they [did], but when Saturday came around, unlike most workers who would want to just run in and out, they didn’t. They did a very professional and wonderful job. We absolutely would recommend them for any other job.

Our services
Our Tree Care Services
Our services are designed around the realities of South Louisiana properties, from residential neighborhoods to rural land and commercial sites.
Tree Removal
We remove trees that have become unsafe due to storm damage, root instability, decay, or overcrowding. In Acadiana, saturated soil and shallow root systems are common issues, so every removal is planned carefully. Crane-assisted removal is used when needed to control weight and protect nearby structures.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Trees in this region grow quickly and carry heavy canopies. Our trimming and pruning work focuses on reducing stress, correcting imbalance, and improving airflow so trees are better prepared for severe weather. We prioritize long-term stability, not cosmetic cutting.
Stump Removal & Grinding
Stumps left in place can trap moisture, attract insects, and interfere with drainage. We remove and grind stumps below ground level to make the area usable again for planting, grading, or lawn restoration.
24/7 Emergency Tree Service
Storms and hurricanes are a fact of life in South Louisiana. We provide round-the-clock emergency response for fallen trees, blocked access, and hazardous situations after high winds, heavy rain, or sudden tree failure.
Land Clearing
We offer land clearing for residential lots, agricultural land, and development projects. Our approach considers drainage, surrounding vegetation, and soil conditions to avoid long-term issues after clearing.

TESTIMONIALS
What Do Our Clients Say?
Let me just start by saying thank you! My fiancé [and I] are ecstatic about the well done job. These guys didn’t play around. You hear chainsaws for 30 minutes and they will be gone. Didn’t leave a stick in the backyard. Super impressed. Will definitely leave his business card on my fridge for the future. A1 service. Thanks again my man!
They were on time, did an AWESOME job and were very nice, informative and respectful, with decent pricing. They even used a blower to clean up the sawdust in the yard after cutting and removing all of the tree. Thank you for the AWESOME job, I will recommend you to anyone that needs tree removal.
John and his team at Hub City Tree & Preservation are very skilled. They took down three 80-foot pine trees surrounded by houses, sheds and cars without any damage. These guys are friendly and great, and you can rest assured they will complete the job and do it right.
They were the first company to show up when I was getting quotes. I said it was kind of an emergency and they were there first thing in the morning! They were very reasonably priced, honest and great workers! Very impressed and thankful!
The business owner and his crew were professional and efficient in removing a bald cypress tree that had become unmanageable. The crew brought in all necessary equipment to quickly extract the tree and grind down the stump with minimal disruption and impact to me and my property. I was impressed. I regretted removing this beloved tree, but Hub City made it easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services in Lafayette Parish, LA
In Lafayette Parish, we most often deal with mature live oaks, water oaks, pecans, southern magnolias, and pines. These trees grow quickly in our warm, wet climate, which leads to heavy canopies and surface-level root systems. After extended rain, it’s common for trees to lean, heave soil, or fail at the root plate, even if they looked healthy beforehand.
Much of Lafayette Parish has soft, moisture-heavy soil that does not anchor roots deeply. During periods of heavy rain, the soil becomes saturated and loses strength. When storms or strong winds hit, large trees can uproot instead of breaking. This is one of the most common causes of storm-related tree failures we see across Lafayette and nearby communities like Broussard and Breaux Bridge.
For most trees in Lafayette, structural trimming is best done outside of peak hurricane season, typically late fall through early spring. However, hazardous limbs, storm-damaged branches, or trees interfering with structures should be addressed immediately, regardless of season. Live oaks and other large species common in the area require careful timing and proper cuts to avoid stress and decay.
Yes, but live oaks require proper pruning techniques. Over-thinning or improper cuts can weaken the tree and increase storm failure risk. We frequently correct poor pruning work done on live oaks throughout Lafayette Parish. Arborist-guided pruning helps maintain balance and strength while reducing unnecessary stress.
Permit requirements depend on the specific municipality and property type. Some areas within Lafayette Parish have regulations for removing trees near public right-of-way or protected areas. During your on-site evaluation, we review local requirements and handle any necessary permits so the work stays compliant.
