Louisiana takes a direct hurricane hit every 2-3 years on average, and each storm generates $50M+ in tree damage across the state — the companies that capture calls during the surge build their entire year's revenue in 6 weeks.
Louisiana Licensing & Compliance
What emergency tree & crane service companies in Louisiana need to know before and after deploying AI operations.
Licensing Body
Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF)
License Required
Horticulture license required for tree care; no license for emergency removal only
Louisiana requires a Horticulture license from LDAF for ongoing tree care services, but emergency storm removal may fall outside this requirement. New Orleans Tree Board requires permits for tree removal in historic districts and may deny removal of significant trees. Workers' compensation is mandatory. Louisiana does not operate a state OSHA plan — federal OSHA applies. FEMA debris management protocols apply to federally declared disaster zones, and companies must register with the state for eligibility in government-funded cleanup contracts.
