Chris's Tree Service

About Chris's Tree Service

Sunset sits on the prairie ridge between Lafayette and Opelousas, a short grid of streets with pasture and cane starting where the sidewalks quit. Chris's Tree Service works those blocks and the gravel lanes past them — removing trees that have hollowed or split, pruning pecans and oaks so they carry their weight where it belongs, trimming for clearance, and clearing branches after a squall line comes across the open ground. July gets worked early out here, because by noon the air stands still and the shade is the only thing moving. A pecan tended in the cool months drops far less on the drive in the hot ones. St. Landry Parish yards run wide and their trees are landmarks, so the aim is always to keep one standing if it can be kept.
