Tree cutters in and around Ascension Parish.....

Since the OT was so helpful in guiding me toward getting a new AC installed at a great cost....I need to use your experience of getting a reasonable tree cutter to take down a large dying tree in my yard. Any recommendations of who you've used, costs, free estimates, etc.
Any help would be appreciated since I can't get the Parish Drainage dept to take responsibility for removal of the tree that is on the servitude of a drainage ditch. They say "it's my problem, not theirs".
