Tree Felling
When a tree needs to come all the way down, we fell it safely — whether it's a clean drop in an open yard or a careful, sectioned takedown right next to a house, fence, or power line.
We read the lean, set the cut, and control the fall so the tree comes down where we want it — not where it doesn't. Then we buck it up, clear the wood, and leave the site clean.

What to expect from us
Felling is the classic way to bring a tree down: one controlled cut sequence, and the whole tree comes down in a planned direction. When there's room to drop it — an open yard, a field edge, a wooded lot — felling is the fastest and most economical way to take a tree down.
The skill is in reading the tree. Lean, weight distribution, wind, rot in the trunk — all of it decides where that tree wants to go and how we make it go where it should. We set the notch and hinge, control the fall, then buck the trunk, limb it out, and leave the site clean.
Not every tree can be felled whole — if it's hanging over your house, garage, or power lines, that's a piece-by-piece removal job instead. Not sure which your tree needs? Send us a photo and we'll tell you straight.
Before & after: Tree Felling
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tree Felling questions, answered
What's the difference between tree felling and tree removal?
Felling drops the whole tree in one controlled fall — it needs open space to land. Removal takes the tree apart piece by piece with climbing and rigging, which is what's required next to houses, fences, and power lines. Felling is quicker and costs less when there's room; we'll tell you honestly which one your tree needs.
Can I keep the wood for firewood?
Absolutely. We can buck the trunk into firewood-length rounds and leave them stacked, or haul everything away — your choice, and it affects the price, so tell us what you want when we quote the job.
My tree is leaning. Does that make it easier or harder to fell?
A lean in a safe direction can make the job simple. A lean toward your house, driveway, or a neighbor's property makes it a technical job that may need rigging or piece-by-piece work instead. Either way, don't try to beat the lean yourself — leaning trees are where DIY felling goes wrong fastest.
Do you clean up after felling a tree?
Yes. Bucking, limbing, brush hauling, and site cleanup are part of the job. If you want the wood or the chips left for your own use, we'll leave them neatly — otherwise we haul it all off.
