Before & after

What a difference a day makes. Here's what it looks like before, and after we showed up.

Stuck in the treetopsStorm-snapped tree hung up at a steep angle in the branches of neighboring trees on a lakeside property on Lake LaSalle in Brown County, Indiana, with a climber up in the treetops where the trunk is caught
Safely downSame lakeside property on Lake LaSalle in Brown County, Indiana with the storm-damaged tree safely down on the ground beside its stump

Storm-blown tree hung up in the treetops — Lake LaSalle, Brown County

An August storm came across the lake and took down a couple of trees on this property. This one never made it to the ground — it snapped at the base and got stuck, its top tangled into the branches of the trees around it. Look up to where it's caught: that's where we climbed. You can see one of our guys up in the treetops, getting ready to drop it to the ground. We did what we do best — got the tree down safely and cleaned up the mess.

AfterSame garage in Freetown, Indiana after the fallen tree was removed — roof covered with a tarp and the neighboring dead tree cut down to a stump
CleanupCut logs stacked in a neat pile and loose branches piled in the burn pit at the back of the property after the tree removal in Freetown, Indiana

Dead tree came down on a garage roof — Freetown, IN

Just this September, a dead tree rotted through at the base and came down on this garage roof. We got the tree off the garage, took down the dead tree standing right beside it, and tarped the roof to protect the homeowner's property from an incoming storm. All the wood was cut up and stacked in a pile at the back of the property, with the loose material in the burn pit.

AfterSame Martinsville, Indiana front yard after storm cleanup and stump grinding — stump ground below grade, grindings leveled, lawn cleared

Storm-split tree — cut up, hauled off, stump gone — Martinsville, IN

A severe storm came through this July and snapped this tree off at the trunk, leaving a shattered stump and a pile of wood in the front yard. We bucked it up, hauled everything away, and ground the stump below grade so the lawn can grow right back over it.

A 150-year-old giant, brought down and cut up — Franklin, IN

This giant stood for more than 150 years before we took it down this August. A tree this size takes big saws, the right equipment, and a crew that knows how to handle serious weight — felled, cut into sections, and the lawn blown clean when we were done. From a small yard tree to a century-and-a-half-old giant, we handle trees of all sizes. And that's Reese — our company mascot and namesake — showing just how big this stump is.

BeforeLarge old hollow tree stump with flared roots in a lawn before stump grinding in Bargersville, Indiana
AfterSame lawn in Bargersville, Indiana after deep stump grinding — stump gone, level bed of grindings ready for a new tree to be planted

Old stump ground deep enough to plant a new tree — Bargersville, IN

The homeowner wanted this old, hollowed-out stump gone — and ground deep enough that they could plant another tree. We ground it out deep and left a level bed of grindings, ready for replanting.

AfterSame log home in Morgantown, Indiana after the tree removal — tree gone, stump cut low by the propane tank, and the wood stacked neatly for the homeowner

Leaning over the house, the A/C, and the propane tank — down piece by piece — Morgantown, IN

A big branch broke off high up in this tree, and the homeowner wanted the rest of it down before it fell. It was leaning heavy over the house, with the air conditioner and the propane tank right underneath — no room for error. We climbed it, brought it down piece by piece, and stacked the wood for the homeowner. Another risky job done safely by the crew.

AfterSame parking-lot island at Heritage Automotive Sales in Columbus, Indiana after stump grinding — stump gone, bed of grindings leveled between the curbs

Commercial job — a stump in the lot at Heritage Automotive Sales — Columbus, IN

Our friends over at Heritage Automotive Sales in Columbus had us out this past summer to take care of a big stump sitting in the landscape island of their busy car lot. We ground it out below grade and left the bed level and ready for mulch or plantings — curb and pavement untouched, and the lot open for business the whole time.

Trees snapped by a recent storm — Helmsburg, IN

A recent storm broke a couple of trees on this wooded property — one snapped off at the base and came down across the back yard, another broke up high. If a storm ever leaves you with tree damage, you know who to call. Give us a call — we can handle it.

AfterSame Brown County, Indiana lawn after stump grinding — root ball gone, level bed of grindings ready for topsoil and grass seed

Storm-uprooted tree — root ball ground out and leveled — Brown County, IN

A storm this past summer uprooted a tree and heaved the whole root ball up out of the lawn. We ground the stump and surface roots down below grade and left the spot level — ready to dress with some topsoil and plant fresh grass seed.

DuringClimber high in a tall storm-damaged tree beside a wooded home in Nashville, Indiana while the ground crew works with a compact loader and a stack of cut logs
Almost doneSame wooded yard in Nashville, Indiana with the tree down — trunk on the ground scored into firewood lengths, cut logs stacked, and sawdust where the crew has been cutting

Storm-damaged tree taken down, logs left for firewood — Nashville, IN

A huge branch came off this tree during a recent thunderstorm. Our crew came out and carefully took down the rest of the tree, pieced up the logs and stacked them, and ran the branches through the chipper. Here we are almost finished — cutting the last of the trunk into logs the homeowner can split into firewood, at their request.

BeforeStack of old logs along a wooden fence and a tree stump in an Indianapolis, Indiana back yard before cleanup and stump grinding
AfterSame Indianapolis, Indiana back yard after log removal and stump grinding — lawn cleared with a level bed of grindings along the fence

Old logs and a stump in the back yard — cleared and ground — Indianapolis, IN

This July in Indianapolis: logs stacked along the fence and a stump in the middle of the lawn. We hauled the wood off, ground the stump below grade, and left a level bed of grindings ready to seed.

Starting outCrew starting a tree-thinning job on a thickly wooded lakeside lot in Prince's Lakes, Indiana with the lake mostly hidden behind the trees
Hauling outCrew member rigging a rope on a compact loader at the top of a steep bank to haul cut trees up from the lakeshore in Prince's Lakes, Indiana — the lake now showing through the thinned woods

Nine trees cleared to open up the lake view — Prince's Lakes, IN

The homeowner wanted the woods thinned out for a better view of the lake and room to put in some landscaping. We cleared nine trees off the property, hauled everything up the steep bank, and hauled it all away.

BeforeFresh-cut tree stump in the front lawn of a brick home in Martinsville, Indiana, with the uprooted stump from a July storm visible in the yard behind it, before stump grinding
AfterSame Martinsville, Indiana home after stump grinding — both stumps replaced by level beds of grindings, one in the front lawn and one in the yard behind

Two for one — a front-yard stump and a storm-uprooted one out back — Martinsville, IN

Two stumps at one house: a fresh-cut stump in the front lawn, and a second one in the back yard from a tree that uprooted in this past July's storm. Both ground below grade and leveled even, so the grass can fill back in and the mower rolls right over.

How it's done
AfterSame lake house in Nineveh, Indiana after the tree removal — large fresh-cut trunk cut low beside the back deck with the yard cleaned up

Dead hardwood leaning over two lake houses — taken down piece by piece — Nineveh, IN

A big dead hardwood right off the back deck, leaning over not one house but two. How do you safely take down a high-risk tree like that? You climb to the top and bring it down piece by piece. Our climber ropes in, cuts the dead branches and the trunk into sections, and every piece is carefully roped down to the ground crew — until there's nothing left but a stump. Press play to see the skill it takes to take down a tree like this.

AfterClean ground-out stump area filled level with grindings after the tree removal at Lamb Lake, Indiana — driveway good as new

Leaning tree over the driveway — down, ground, and cleaned up — Lamb Lake, Johnson County

This tree was leaning right over a home and its driveway. We climbed it, brought it down piece by piece, ground the stump flush with the drive, and left the spot ready for an asphalt patch.
