Tree Felling in Fort Wayne, IN
Tree felling is dropping a whole tree in one controlled direction when there's open space for it to land. It's for properties with room to work — back lots, fence lines and acreage — and it's typically a cost-effective way to remove a larger tree, typically $300 – $1,500.

Tree Felling FAQs
What's the difference between felling and removal?
Felling drops the tree whole when there's enough clear, open space. Send us a photo and we'll confirm whether the tree and drop zone fit the services we offer.
Do you haul away the wood?
Yes, haul-away is included. Many customers keep some of it as firewood — we'll cut it to length for you.
How long does it take?
Felling itself takes minutes; cutting up and cleaning usually takes a few hours per tree.
Do you clean up afterward?
Yes, we chip the brush and rake the area clean before leaving.
Is felling the right choice near my fence?
It depends on the available drop zone and the tree's condition. Send us a photo and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a job we can handle safely.
Can you fell dead or leaning trees?
Often yes. Dead ash and leaning trees need extra planning, so we'll assess them in person or from photos.
