Toby & April are NOT licensed to cut trees. They are NOT insured to cut trees. This information comes from the New Iberia Sheriff's Department who called the state information. I needed a tree service because, due to hurricane season on us, I had 3 trees that were a direct threat to a cottage and a shop. Toby & April Latiolas of "L and L Tree Service" gave me an estimate of $5,000 taking $1,500 down and the balance at the satisfied end of the work. The very next day, they did NOT come but sent me a request for $500 extra by Zelle. According to their contact, I wasn't to pay anything until the job was finished so I said "No". They kept on asking and asking and I kept saying "No". Within a day or two more (without them coming but continuing to ask for money) I had read his YELP reviews, checked the BBB and gone to the Sheriff's office about them. They are definitely SCAMMERS! I drove 40 miles round trip to speak to a man they had scammed. Two sets of his neighbors verified it to be true. On my way home, a rain storm started. It was pouring rain and lightning and thundering. As I drove into my driveway, there they were cutting up a bit of tree. As soon as I got out of my car, April Latiolais approached me for more money and I cited the contract. She walked over and told Toby who immediately started packing up his little chainsaw to leave. Then they sat in my driveway sending text after text after text insisting that I fork over more money. They said they needed to get their bobcat out of the shop, they needed a muffler for their truck, they needed to pay their help, etc. They were so insistent that when one of my friends stopped by, I told him what was going on. He went out and told them they had to leave. They said they couldn't and wouldn't leave until I paid them more money. My fiend happened to be a retired state trooper. He made them leave. For two days and until I finally blocked them, they sent me harassing texts saying what they were going to do to me. Then I told THEM what the Sheriff's Department said they were going to do to Toby and April. THEY ARE SCAMMERS! YELP didn't believe that these photos were from my yard and said they were going to take my photos down; thereby, aiding and abetting these SCAMMERS. Can you believe that! I can send them my photo roll. ALL of these photos are from my yard. I guess it was left in such a terrible condition that even YELP didn't want to believe it! read more

Minus five-star review for L&L Tree Service owned by April and Toby Latiolias. I hired them to trim some trees in my backyard on the condition that they were insured. I gave them $1,000 up front cash. Toby said that his crew would be out that afternoon; they never showed up. I have never seen people vanish so quickly from a job site. They stole my $1,000 and caused me $300 worth of property damage. They were hired on the assumption that they were insured. They were not insured and falsified insurance documents. I have the insurance document that they falsified and I also contacted Mr Jade Leger of Complete Insurance out of Broussard Louisiana and he gave me a statement saying that they stole money from him also. I will be taking them to City Court Franklin Louisiana. These two people April and Toby Latiolias owners of L and L Tree Service physical address 104 St Louis Street Loreauville Louisiana 70552 have to be put out of business, these are some evil people that have caused a lot of pain with other people also when I research them on Yelp. When you look at them on Facebook they have a good rating but I will change that. Cowboy Jolee Segsura 1809 Becky Drive Franklin, LA 70538 read more

This guy Toby took advantage of my 75 year old mother. She hired him to trim trees and lift the canopies. A quarter of the way through the job he gave her some story about needing to go buy a piece of equipment that he didn't have the money for. He convinced her to pay him for the job upfront and told her he would be back to finish. He never came back.We have tried reaching out to him he said he would come back to finish again. It's been months and now he won't even answer the phone. It is unethical to take advantage of old widows like that! read more

Initially contacted L and L to remove large oak tree in June 2021. Service was performed quickly and correctly. However, also paid them $500 for stump grinding. It has been nearly a year now and they never returned to perform the service. They advised me they actually contract out this service to another company, however, that company was supposedly waiting on a part to come in. We ended up having to go with another company to get the grinding done. Contacted owner two weeks ago and he assured me he would be by to refund money since they never performed the service a year ago. Since then, no refund, no response to calls or emails. Be very careful dealing with this company. The initial job went well, however, they have a lot to learn when it comes to service after the sale. read more

Great job, great price and impeccable clean up. I will always use this company in future.

do not pay for any services before they are rendered. i knew better but paid after the tree climber completed his work. now i'm screwed
