Straight answers about tree removal, trimming and stump grinding — what it costs, how long it takes and what to expect on the day.
Common Questions
What's the difference between small tree removal and tree felling?
Small tree removal is for trees under about 20 ft, including ones close to the house or fence. Tree felling is for larger trees with open space to drop them safely. Not sure which you need? Text us a photo and we'll tell you.
How much does tree removal cost in Fort Wayne?
Small tree removal typically runs $150 – $600 per tree, and larger felling jobs run $300 – $1,500. Size, access and nearby structures drive the price. Text us a photo for an exact quote.
How much does stump grinding cost?
Most stumps cost $100 – $400 to grind. Diameter is the biggest factor, and multiple stumps on one visit cost less each.
How deep do you grind stumps?
Typically up to 13 inches below grade. That's deep enough to seed, sod or plant shrubs over the spot.
Do you haul away the wood and debris?
Yes, haul-away is included in every quote. If you want to keep firewood rounds or wood chips, just tell us and we'll leave them.
Do you clean up afterward?
Always. We chip brush, rake up debris and blow off driveways and walkways before we leave. Your yard should look cleaner than when we arrived.
How fast can I get a quote?
Text us a photo and we usually reply within 24 hours. You can also book an in-person quote visit online at a time that works for you.
How long does a typical job take?
Most trimming and small removal jobs take a few hours. Stump grinding usually takes under an hour per stump. Larger felling jobs may take most of a day.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. As long as we can reach the tree and any gates are unlocked, we can do the work while you're away. We'll text you when we're done.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Fort Wayne and surrounding areas: New Haven, Huntertown, Leo-Cedarville and Grabill. If you're close by and not sure, just ask.
Will your equipment damage my lawn?
We use lightweight equipment and lay down mats on soft ground to protect your grass. Minor ruts are rare, and we'll point out any concerns before we start.
When is the best time to trim trees?
Late fall through winter is ideal for most trees because they're dormant and easier to see. Dead, broken or hazardous limbs should be handled any time of year.
Should I remove a dead ash tree?
Yes, and sooner is better. Dead ash trees become brittle quickly, which makes them more likely to drop limbs and harder to take down safely later.
Can you remove a tree near my house or fence?
Send us a photo and we'll assess the tree, the available space and what's nearby. We'll let you know honestly whether it's a job we can handle safely.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
Most won't. A few species, like silver maple and willow, may send up sprouts from leftover roots; mowing them for a season usually ends it.
