Tree cutting service, precise felling and sectioning for trees of any size.

Whether you need a single tree dropped, a fence line cleared, or selective cutting to open up a yard, our climbers and ground crew cut safely and cleanly. For open areas we fell whole; near structures we section the tree down piece by piece with ropes and rigging.

Local soil here is heavy Indiana clay, which holds water and can leave shallow-rooted trees unstable after a wet spell. EAB has killed a large share of Fort Wayne's ash trees — dead-ash removal is a major local need.

Not sure whether it’s time to call? These are the situations where Fort Wayne homeowners most often reach out to us:

• You need a single tree felled or sectioned down
• A fence line or property edge has overgrown into the trees
• You want to open up a yard, a view, or a building site
• Several trees need selective cutting while others stay

If any of these sound familiar, a free on-site assessment will tell you exactly where you stand, no obligation.

Whether you need a single tree dropped, a fence line cleared, or selective cutting to open up a yard, our climbers and ground crew cut safely and cleanly. For open areas we fell whole; near structures we section the tree down piece by piece with ropes and rigging.

• Piece-by-piece sectioning near homes & fences
• Selective cutting to open sightlines & yards
• Brush chipped and logs cut to length
• Full cleanup of the cut area
• Controlled felling in open areas

Tree cutting and tree removal overlap, the difference is mostly scope. “Cutting” usually means felling and sectioning the tree itself; a full removal adds stump grinding and complete haul-off. Tell us the end state you want, cleared to the ground, bucked into firewood, or brush chipped and gone, and we’ll scope and price it to match.

For open ground we drop trees whole along a planned hinge and escape path. Near anything that can be damaged we switch to technical cutting: a climber or bucket operator removes the canopy in controlled pieces, then sections the trunk. Either way the area is raked clean before we leave.

Safety planning is most of the work you don’t see. Before a single cut, we read the tree’s lean and weight, check for dead or hung limbs, plan the fall and our escape routes, and make sure people and property are clear. That preparation is exactly what an insured, experienced crew brings and what makes the difference between a clean job and an expensive accident.

Our crews see a lot of oak, maple, ash, silver maple on local properties, each behaves differently when it comes down. Northeast Indiana weather is hard on trees: heavy summer thunderstorms & straight-line wind, winter ice & snow load, spring storm damage all take their toll over a season.

Doing this work right takes the proper equipment, trained people, and real insurance. Fort Wayne Tree Services brings all three, plus an ISA-certified arborist who can tell you when a tree can be saved instead of removed.

1. Free on-site estimate. We come out, assess the tree and the site, and give you a clear written quote, no pressure, no surprises.
2. Schedule the work. We lock in a date that works for you. Storm and hazard jobs jump the queue.
3. Safe, clean execution. Our insured crew does the work with proper rigging and protects your lawn, fences, and lines.
4. Cleanup & walkthrough. We chip, haul, rake, and walk the site with you before we leave. You only pay when you’re satisfied.

Every property is different, so we quote each job on-site. The main factors:

• Number & size of trees: One tree or a cleared line changes the scope.
• Felling vs. technical rigging: Open-area felling is faster than a tight technical cut.
• What you keep vs. haul: Bucking logs to firewood length or hauling everything affects price.

The only way to get an accurate number is a free on-site estimate, call FW Tree Services or request a quote online.

From the first call to the final rake, we keep it simple and transparent. You’ll get a real human who books a free on-site visit, an itemized written estimate you can actually understand, and a crew that shows up when we say we will. We protect your property as we work, communicate if anything changes, and don’t consider the job done until the site is clean and you’ve walked it with us.

No surprise charges, no high-pressure add-ons, and a straight answer if we think a tree can be saved rather than removed. That’s the standard we hold on every tree cutting job, large or small.

It’s a small thing, but it matters: we treat your yard the way we’d want ours treated. That means laying down protection where heavy equipment runs, keeping the work area tidy as we go, and never leaving a mess of ruts, sawdust, and brush behind. The cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought you have to chase us about.

Tree cutting is skilled, sometimes dangerous work, and the most important question to ask any company is whether they carry insurance. Fort Wayne Tree Services carries full general liability and workers’ compensation, with proof available on request. If an uninsured crew is hurt on your property or drops a limb on your roof, you can be left liable, never worth the risk to save a few dollars.

The trees we work on most around Fort Wayne are oak, maple, ash, silver maple, Bradford pear, and each behaves differently. EAB has killed a large share of Fort Wayne's ash trees — dead-ash removal is a major local need. Fort Wayne is the 'City of Three Rivers' — riverbank lots mean soft soil and storm-prone mature trees.

Local soil is heavy Indiana clay, which holds water and can leave big trees shallow-rooted and storm-prone. Add heavy summer thunderstorms & straight-line wind in summer and winter ice & snow load in winter, and it’s easy to see why Fort Wayne properties need attentive, professional tree care rather than a once-a-decade afterthought.

Every tree cutting job starts with a free, itemized written estimate, no obligation and no high-pressure sales. For larger jobs, we offer financing so an urgent removal or a big project doesn’t have to wait for the right month. Request your free estimate or call us to get on the schedule.

Fort Wayne Tree Services works throughout Fort Wayne and the surrounding towns, including New Haven, Huntertown, Leo-Cedarville, Grabill, Woodburn, Monroeville, and more. The City of Fort Wayne regulates removal of trees in the right-of-way; private-property removal generally needs no permit — confirm per municipality (New Haven, etc. differ). Wherever you are in the area, we’ll bring the right crew and equipment and leave the site clean.

Tree cutting is one part of what we do. Many Fort Wayne customers pair it with tree removal, tree trimming & pruning, stump grinding & removal, emergency & storm damage tree service, or full storm cleanup. Tell us everything that needs attention and we’ll handle it in one visit and one estimate.
