How it works

What to expect from us

Piece-by-piece removal is the careful way down for trees that can't just be dropped: a climber goes up (or we work from equipment), takes the tree apart from the top, and lowers each section on ropes so nothing touches your roof, fence, or landscaping.

The trees that need this are usually the ones that worry you most — dead or dying trees shedding limbs over the house, storm-cracked trunks, trees leaning the wrong way. Signs a tree may need to come down: large dead limbs, mushrooms or soft rot at the base, a hollow trunk, a fresh lean after a storm, or roots heaving the soil.

Every removal includes the full job: limbs and trunk down safely, everything bucked and hauled, the site raked clean. Add stump grinding on the same visit and the whole tree — top to root flare — is gone in one appointment.

Before & after

Before & after: Tree Removal

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Straight answers

Tree Removal questions, answered

How do I know if my tree needs to be removed?

Big warning signs: major dead limbs, fungus or mushrooms growing at the base, bark falling off in sheets, a hollow or soft trunk, a new lean after a storm, or lifted soil around the roots. Some trees can be saved with pruning instead — send us a photo or have us look at it, and we'll give you an honest answer either way.

Can you remove a tree that's right next to my house?

Yes — that's exactly what piece-by-piece removal with rigging is for. Each section is roped and lowered under control, not dropped. Trees over roofs, decks, fences, and driveways are routine work for us.

What about power lines near the tree?

Lines change the plan, not the outcome. Tell us about any lines near the tree when you call — depending on whether they're utility lines or the service drop to your house, coordination with the utility may be needed before work starts. We'll walk you through it.

Does tree removal include the stump?

Removal takes the tree down to a low stump. Grinding the stump 6–12 inches below grade is a separate step we can do the same visit — most customers bundle them so the job is completely finished in one trip.
