Landscaping & Tree Service in Fort Wayne, IN
We are based here in the 46807 area, so most jobs are minutes away
Fort Wayne is home base for All About Tree & Turf Services, and it shows in how we work. Darick and the crew live and mow in these neighborhoods, from Waynedale and Foster Park to the newer builds out toward Aboite, so we already know which yards hold water after a Maumee rain and which streets still have skeletons of dead ash standing over the sidewalk. Being family-owned and serving Fort Wayne since 2025, we treat every property like it belongs to a neighbor, because it usually does.
The city sits where the St. Marys and St. Joseph join to form the Maumee, and that Three Rivers geography defines the local yard. Flood debris, silty riverbank soil, and a heavy tree canopy give Fort Wayne a look that people love and a maintenance list that never really quits. We handle the full slate here: lawn care and mowing, fertilization and weed control, tree removal and trimming, landscape design, drainage, storm cleanup, and winter snow and ice management.
Local Conditions We Plan For in Fort Wayne
Two things shape risk in this city more than anything else. First is the emerald ash borer legacy. The borer tore through Fort Wayne's roughly 29% canopy and left thousands of dead and dying ash trees, many of them large and brittle, leaning over roofs, garages, and power drops. A dead ash does not fall gracefully; it sheds heavy limbs without warning and the trunk gets punky fast, so removals get more dangerous and more expensive the longer they wait. We take these down in tight urban lots and grind the stumps so you can replant something the borer will not touch.
The second is the ground itself. Much of Fort Wayne sits on compacted clay, and near the rivers you add silt and a high water table. Clay drains slowly, so downspouts dump into soggy low spots, lawns thin out in standing water, and new plantings drown before they root. We read the grade before we plant, correct drainage with swales and French drains, and choose turf and trees that can actually live in this soil instead of fighting it every season.
Why Fort Wayne Neighbors Call Us
You will spot our trucks all over town, from the downtown Three Rivers confluence and Lakeside's older tree-lined blocks to Foster Park and the subdivisions spreading through Aboite. We know the mature-canopy streets where structural pruning matters and the fresh builds off Illinois Road where the sod still needs babying through its first summer.
One job that sums up the work: a homeowner on the north side had a roughly 40-foot ash leaning over the back corner of the house after a storm loosened it. We rigged and removed it in pieces without touching the roofline, ground the stump, and hauled every bit of the mess off the same day. That combination, taking down a big tree over a structure and leaving the yard clean, is exactly what earns the 5-star reviews we are proud of. We work city lots and commercial grounds alike, and we keep the same crew on your property so nobody is relearning your yard every visit.
Inside Fort Wayne: The Neighborhoods We Know Best
The housing here changes block by block. In West Central and Southwood Park you find century-old bungalows and brick Tudors on narrow lots where giant street trees crowd the terrace strip between sidewalk and curb. Push southwest toward Getz and Covington roads and the lots open into 1980s-and-newer builds with wider setbacks and thinner, builder-grade turf. A homeowner off Old Mill Road might have a mature silver-maple canopy that needs structural pruning, while a neighbor in a fresh Aboite-adjacent subdivision is still fighting to establish sod over scraped clay. We read each block for what it actually is rather than running one plan across the whole city.
Seasonally, Fort Wayne keeps us moving. We mow April through October, usually weekly once the spring flush hits, then pivot to leaf cleanup through October and November when the heavy canopy dumps all at once along streets like Rudisill and Fairfield. Snow work runs November into March. Underneath it all sits the drainage problem: the flat, clay-heavy ground near the St. Marys and the old Bloomingdale and Nebraska neighborhoods holds water long after a rain, so we grade, cut swales, and route downspouts before reseeding a drowned low spot. Routine mowing lands around $35 to $75 a visit, and a hazardous dead-ash removal over a house can run from $400 to well past $2,000 depending on the rigging. Call (323) 606-0255 for a look.
