Landscaping & Tree Service in Huntington
Huntington is about 35 minutes southwest of Fort Wayne on US-24. It is close enough for routine service and quick storm response after high water.
Huntington is a river town, plain and simple. The Little River and the Wabash meet the flood-control reservoir at Roush Lake, and water shapes everything about the landscape here. All About Tree & Turf Services is a family-owned Fort Wayne company, and Huntington's flood-zone properties keep us busy with exactly the kind of tree work that these low, wet grounds create.
Darick Van started the business in 2025, and Huntington quickly became a regular run for us. When you have this much water in a landscape, you have a lot of trees under stress, a lot of storm debris, and a lot of homeowners who need a crew that understands what floodplain living does to a yard.
Local Conditions We Plan For in Huntington
Flood-zone trees live hard. Saturated soil loosens root plates, waterlogged trees decline and die, and every high-water event and windstorm leaves behind a volume of broken and hung limbs that a normal neighborhood never sees. Huntington generates real volume in pruning and removals for that reason, and we are set up to handle it — clearing storm damage, taking down the flood-killed trees, and pruning the survivors back to safe, sound structure.
The wet ground affects lawns and landscapes too. Low spots that pond after every rain, soil that stays soggy, and areas where turf simply drowns out are common near the river. Our drainage work — regrading, French drains, routing water away from the house and lawn — is a big part of what we do in Huntington, alongside the tree work. Often the two go together on the same visit: take out the water-killed tree, then fix the wet ground that killed it so the replacement has a fighting chance.
Why Huntington Neighbors Call Us
Huntington is known as the home of former Vice President Dan Quayle, for the university that bears the city's name, and for the recreation around the J. Edward Roush Lake reservoir. Our work follows the water — the wooded riverbanks, the flood-prone yards, and the low ground along the Little River.
A typical Huntington call after a wet spring involves a pair of saturated silver maples near the river that have started to lean, sometimes with roots lifting the lawn. On a lot like that, the work usually means taking the leaning trees down before they fall, grinding the stumps, and then running a drainage line to carry standing water off the low corner that keeps the ground soft. Fixing the water along with the trees gives any replacement planting a real chance.
A Closer Look at Huntington's Riverfront Ground
Huntington is a river town at heart, built where the Little River and the Wabash feed the flood-control reservoir at Roush Lake, with US-24 and SR-5 threading through. Water shapes the whole landscape. The old limestone-quarry ground that gave the city its Sunken Gardens speaks to how the terrain rises and falls here, and the low neighborhoods near the water take on more than their share every high-water season. Saturated soil loosens root plates, waterlogged trees decline and die, and every windstorm leaves a volume of broken and hung limbs a dry neighborhood never sees. After a wet spring near the river, a typical job is removing leaning silver maples — sometimes with roots visibly lifting the lawn — then running a drain line to carry standing water off the soft low corner that weakened them.
Because of all that water, drainage and tree work usually travel together on a Huntington visit: take out the flood-killed tree, then fix the wet ground that killed it so the replacement has a fighting chance. Our year runs mowing April through October, heavy leaf and storm cleanup in the fall, and plowing through the winter. Huntington is only about 35 minutes southwest on US-24, close enough that we run 24/7 emergency service and can usually reach a fallen tree the same day. Removals generally land between the low hundreds and a couple thousand dollars depending on the tree and the rigging; estimates are free and in writing. We are fully insured — call (323) 606-0255.
Common Projects in Huntington
Leaning Maple Removal Near the River
After a wet spring, trees on low ground near the Little River can lean as their roots lose grip in saturated soil. The work is an assessment, then a sectioned removal rigged away from the house, followed by stump grinding after an 811 call. If heavy equipment would rut a soaked yard, expect to wait a few days for the ground to firm up.
Draining a Soggy Low Corner
Many Huntington yards near the water have a corner that ponds and stays soft long after the rain stops. A typical project traces where the water collects, regrades the area, and installs a French drain or catch basin to a safe outlet. Plan it for a dry stretch in late summer or fall, when the soil is firm enough to trench cleanly.
Post-Flood Storm Cleanup
High water followed by wind leaves broken tops, hung limbs, and downed trees along Huntington's wooded riverbanks. Cleanup starts with anything threatening the house or blocking access, then moves to hauling debris and pruning damaged survivors. Being about 35 minutes away on US-24 makes a same-day visit usually realistic, though the worst-hit properties go first after a big storm.
