Tree service in Moss Bluff, Louisiana
Tree removal for Moss Bluff and the wooded north end of Calcasieu Parish, along U.S. 171 and Highway 378.
Moss Bluff sits just north of Lake Charles and had 12,522 residents at the 2020 census, up from 7,004 when it first appeared as a census-designated place in 1980. It isn't an incorporated city. Several efforts to incorporate it haven't succeeded, so Calcasieu Parish, not a city hall, is the local government to check with. U.S. 171 and Louisiana Highway 378 cross the community.
Bigger, wooded lots
Many Moss Bluff homes sit on larger lots, often with tall trees close to the house. That's good for shade and hard in a hurricane. The LSU AgCenter's surveys found survival below 50 percent for longleaf pine in hurricane-hit areas, and tall trees catch stronger winds. A tall pine within reach of the house is one of the most common reasons people call.
Room to work, and septic to protect
Larger lots often mean a crew can fell a tree in one piece or drive a lift right to the trunk. Many homes outside city service also have a septic tank and drainfield, and heavy trucks can crack a tank or crush lines. Show the crew where the system is before equipment rolls in.
Driveways and outbuildings
After storms, the calls here are often a tree across a long gravel drive or a limb through a shop or barn roof. Tell the company what the tree landed on and whether a truck can reach it.
Typical calls
- Tall pines leaning toward houses and sheds
- Trees down across driveways after storms
- Clearing fence lines and overgrown lot edges
- Grinding stumps in yards and pastures
Common questions
Moss Bluff isn't a city. Who do I ask about permits?
Calcasieu Parish government handles unincorporated areas like Moss Bluff. Check with the parish before work in a road right-of-way, and with your utility before work near lines.
Can heavy equipment damage my septic system?
Yes. Trucks, lifts and grinders can crack tanks and crush drainfield lines. Mark the system and tell the crew where it is.
