About Bayou Tree Pros

Family-owned, community-focused tree care since 2009

Our Story

01

Rooted in Acadiana

Bayou Tree Pros was founded in 2009 by lifelong Youngsville resident Marcus Thibodaux. What started as a one-man operation with a chainsaw and a pickup truck has grown into a full-service tree care company with a team of certified professionals. We're proud to serve the community that raised us.

02

Safety First, Always

Tree work is inherently dangerous. That's why we invest heavily in training, equipment, and safety protocols. Every crew member is trained in OSHA standards, and we carry $2 million in liability insurance. Your property—and our people—are protected on every job.

03

Honest & Transparent Pricing

We believe in straightforward pricing with no surprises. Every estimate is detailed in writing, and we explain exactly what we'll do and why. If we find additional issues during the job, we discuss them with you before proceeding.

04

Environmental Stewardship

We love trees—that's why we're in this business. We never recommend removal unless it's truly necessary. Our arborists can often save trees that others would cut down. When we do remove trees, we recycle the wood into mulch and firewood.

05

Community Commitment

When hurricanes hit our community, we're here. We offer discounted rates for seniors and veterans, donate services to local schools and churches, and sponsor youth sports teams. Acadiana is our home, and we're committed to keeping it beautiful.
