Mature shade tree being carefully pruned on a Kentucky property

Tree Care

Tree Care in Louisville, KY

Trimming, removals, and stump work that keep the trees on your property healthy — and the ones that have to go, gone cleanly.

Mature trees are some of the most valuable features on a Kentucky property — and some of the most expensive to mess up. Forest Landscape LLC handles tree and shrub care with the patience and judgment those trees deserve. We prune for the species and the season, not with one-size-fits-all cuts. When a tree has to come down, we plan the removal around your beds, fences, and neighbors. And when a stump's in the way of the landscape you actually want, we grind it below grade so you can replant or rebuild. From legacy oaks in Middletown to overgrown shrubs in newer Crestwood builds, we treat every property like our own.

Tree & Shrub Trimming

Good pruning isn't just shaping — it's choosing which cuts will keep the plant healthy for the next ten years. We prune for structure, airflow, and form, and we time the work to the species so you're not stressing a tree right before it needs to be strong. Hedges get clean lines, ornamentals get shaped without losing their character, and overgrown shade trees get thinned to let light back through. You end up with trees and shrubs that look better, stay healthier, and don't drop limbs over your roof the next time a storm rolls through Kentucky.

Tree & Shrub Removal

Some trees have to come down — they're dead, dying, leaning the wrong way, or sitting where the new patio is going. We plan removals carefully: rigging the drops so nothing lands on your fence, protecting nearby plantings, and hauling away every limb and chip before we leave. You don't end up with brush piles to deal with or ruts across the lawn. Whether it's a single overgrown shrub or a large tree near the house, we give you a straight quote and a clean job site at the end.

Stump Removal

A leftover stump turns into a lawn obstacle, a tripping hazard, and a magnet for pests. We grind stumps several inches below grade so you can reseed, replant, or pour concrete right over the spot. Chips can stay as in-place mulch or get hauled away — your call. We work around irrigation lines and nearby roots and clean up the area so it blends back into the rest of the yard. It's the small finish that turns a removal job into a property that looks like nothing was ever there.

Client reviews

What our clients say

I appreciated Eder's promptness, courtesy, efficiency and excellent skills. I should have taken 'before' photos so you can appreciate just what a great job he did. I will definitely be calling him again!

Jan Hurst

I hired this company to do a major cleanup in my courtyard including, weeding, trimming and hauling away the debris. They responded promptly to my inquiry, provided an estimate and completed the job on the second day. Professional, fast, on time and I could not be more satisfied with their work.

Terry Ford

I had a great experience with Forest Landscape! They installed a beautiful brick edging around my yard and created a clean, well-designed flower bed with black mulch. The attention to detail was excellent, and everything turned out exactly how I imagined. The crew was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their landscaping!

Cintya Lara

Mr. Gonzalez and his workers did an excellent job. He was prompt with his estimate and was able to accommodate my schedule. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend him.

Deacon Kyrill Schaefer

Eder and his team are incredible at what they do. I had concrete poured to extend an existing patio and as well as flower beds installed with paver edging. Eder is very friendly and works very hard to ensure you are happy with the work (spoiler alert: you will be happy with it). They are professional, respectful, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend Eder & team for all your landscaping needs!

Forest Landscape did an excellent job on our patios. They weeded, cleaned and grouted in between existing flagstones and then sealed. Craftsmanship was excellent. Mr. Gonzales and his crew were courteous and punctual. I highly recommend Forest Landscape.

Kat Lewis

Eder first came out to look at the space that I wanted landscape done. He sent a detailed estimate of what would be included within 2 days. I needed to fill in space that had arborvitaes that 2 had previously died. He installed 3 for me, leaving room for them to grow, and 1 at the front to fill the empty space. Also put in a dogwood tree. Nice and professional, and job was performed 1 wk after I accepted the offer! He did a wonderful job! Loving my back yard!

Deborah Smith

Eder and his crew did a GREAT job on our yard. We had them do a big project in our backyard. Awesome work, good communication, wonderful value. Would highly recommend!
