Mountain Man Tree Service and Forest Consulting isn’t your typical tree removal outfit. Founded by Kohl, a disabled Army veteran with deep Louisiana roots, the company represents something increasingly rare in today’s marketplace: a business built on genuine expertise, community commitment, and the kind of hands-on knowledge that can’t be learned from a manual.
When Disaster Strikes: Rapid Response That Clears the Way
In Central Louisiana, severe weather doesn’t just damage property—it can trap you. When high winds and violent storms send trees crashing down, they rarely fall in convenient locations. Mountain Man Tree Service specializes in emergency tree removal that restores access and safety to your property, no matter where that fallen timber lands.
A tree blocking your driveway means you can’t get to work, can’t reach medical appointments, and can’t evacuate if conditions worsen. A massive oak collapsed against your house threatens structural damage with every passing hour. Fallen limbs tangled in your fence create liability issues and security concerns. A shed crushed under storm debris means lost tools, equipment, and irreplaceable items. Even trees scattered across your lawn present tripping hazards and prevent normal use of your outdoor space.
Mountain Man Tree Service understands that emergency tree removal isn’t just about cutting wood—it’s about restoring normalcy to disrupted lives. Their 24/7 availability means that when you wake up to find a tornado has redecorated your property with fallen trees, help is just a phone call away.
But their expertise extends well beyond crisis response. The same professionals who can safely extract a tree from your roof also handle routine stump grinding, comprehensive lot clearing, and mulching services. Using industry-standard equipment, they don’t just remove stumps—they eliminate all traces, covering the area with wood chips to leave properties looking pristine. It’s this combination of emergency readiness and meticulous attention to detail that has earned them their reputation as Cenla’s top-rated tree service.
From Forest to Service
Kohl’s journey to becoming “Cenla’s top rated tree service” began long before he hung out his shingle. Growing up in Boyce, Louisiana, he developed an intimate relationship with the land while hunting alongside three generations of his family. That childhood passion evolved into the disciplined achievement of Eagle Scout, then blossomed into formal education—a forestry degree with a concentration in wildlife management from Louisiana Tech University.
But the real preparation came from five years as a supervising forester for the state of Louisiana, where he gained the kind of practical experience that separates true professionals from weekend warriors with a chainsaw. This background means that when Mountain Man Tree Service shows up at your property, you’re getting someone who understands tree biology, forest ecology, and land management at a level most competitors simply can’t match.
Family Business with Purpose
What truly sets Mountain Man Tree Service apart is the “why” behind the work. As a family-owned operation with five children at its heart, the company approaches every job with a sense of responsibility that extends beyond the transaction. Kohl’s military service instilled values of dedication and reliability that now translate into 24/7 emergency availability and consistently high-quality work.
The company serves Dry Prong, Ball, Deville, Pineville, Alexandria, and surrounding communities with the kind of integrity that comes from viewing customers as neighbors, not just clients.
When Nature Strikes
In Central Louisiana, it’s not a question of whether severe weather will strike, but when. When that next cold front brings down trees onto driveways, houses, fences, sheds, or lawns, having a trusted professional on speed dial isn’t just convenient—it’s essential. Mountain Man Tree Service’s licensed and insured operation (AR #2569) provides peace of mind that the job will be done safely and correctly.
Their commitment to offering free estimates removes another barrier, making professional tree care accessible to more homeowners.
The Bigger Picture
In an era of corporate consolidation and fly-by-night operators, Mountain Man Tree Service and Forest Consulting represent something worth celebrating: local expertise serving local needs. Kohl’s journey from Louisiana forests to forestry degree to state service to entrepreneurship embodies the American dream, military veteran edition—using skills and training to serve community with purpose.
For Central Louisiana residents, that means access to tree care that’s backed by genuine forestry knowledge, delivered with military-grade reliability, and executed with the care of someone who sees your property as if it were his own.
Because when you’ve spent a lifetime learning to respect and understand trees, you don’t just remove them—you steward the relationship between people and the land they call home.
