Highly decorated iykyk!! HLA Lawn & Tree Service proud member of the Evangeline Chamber of Commerce!

THE MOST COMMON QUESTION I GET ASKED ON A JOB SITE IN CENTRAL LOUISIANA:

"How old are you? When did you start?"

Every. Single. Time. 😂

I love this question. Not because I have some profound answer — but because the moment I explain what I actually hold — a Louisiana Licensed Arborist license, an ISA Certified Arborist® credential, and an ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification — the question shifts.

It goes from "how old are you" to "when can you start?"

Here is what I want every homeowner across Avoyelles, Evangeline, Grant, and Rapides Parishes — and the surrounding communities of Central Louisiana — to understand: Experience Matters. Credentials Matter More.

Because credentials do not come with time alone — they come with documented professional performance, comprehensive examination, and ongoing continuing education that keeps your arborist current with the latest science in tree care.

There is no shortcut to ISA certification. You earn it. Period.

HLA Tree Services provides Central Louisiana with professional level tree care backed by verified, dual-credentialed authority. Owner William Manuel stands out as a fully Louisiana Licensed Arborist ( # 2837), an ISA Certified Arborist ( # SO-367105A), and one of the rare local specialists to hold the official Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ). "So yes — I might be younger than you expected. However, Every tree I assess, every removal I direct, and every trimming job I perform is backed by that credential — not just by years on a chainsaw."

Whether your property is in Marksville, Ville Platte, Colfax, Alexandria, or Toledo Bend — the trees on your CenLA property deserve science-based professional care. That is what HLA Tree Services delivers. "No Mess - No Stress"
