Kendallville is the workhorse city of Noble County — bigger than the county seat, full of solid older homes, and far enough north to catch the tail end of Lake Michigan's snow machine. All About Tree & Turf Services is a family-owned crew from Fort Wayne, and we like Kendallville because it needs the full menu: trees to manage, mature lawns to keep, and snow to move once December sets in.

Darick Van founded the company in 2025, and Kendallville has become a steady stop. It is a practical town, and folks here want a practical landscaper — one who shows up, does honest work at a fair price, and does not vanish when the weather turns.

Local Conditions We Plan For in Kendallville

The housing stock tells the story. A lot of Kendallville's neighborhoods went up decades ago, and the trees that shade them are now large, sometimes crowded, and often overdue for structural pruning or removal. Ash decline from the borer is heavy here, and we take down a lot of dead and dying ash before they drop limbs on garages and cars.

Then there is winter. Sitting where it does, Kendallville gets lake-effect bands that dump inches when Fort Wayne barely sees a dusting. That makes reliable snow and ice management a real service, not an afterthought — driveways, business lots, and sidewalks that have to stay open through storm after storm. We build seasonal snow plans so our Kendallville customers are not scrambling every time the sky opens up, and we prioritize the routes where folks have to get to work no matter what the lake sends down. That same winter is hard on trees, too, loading weak limbs with wet snow and ice until they crack, which is why we like to prune out the obvious hazards before the season starts.

Why Kendallville Neighbors Call Us

Kendallville is known for the Mid-America Windmill Museum and for hosting the Apple Festival that packs the town every fall. Those events run on well-kept public and business grounds, and around town our work is the everyday version of that — mowed lawns, cleared lots, and safe trees on ordinary streets.

A typical Kendallville call: a homeowner near the downtown had a dead ash between the house and the alley, too close to both to simply drop. We rigged it down piece by piece, ground the stump below grade, and then signed the same customer up for winter plowing after they mentioned they were tired of shoveling out during the lake-effect storms. That is how a lot of Kendallville relationships start with us — one job done right, and then the whole property handed over for the year.

Getting to Know Kendallville's Neighborhoods

Kendallville is bigger and busier than the county seat down at Albion, built where US-6 crosses SR-3, and much of its housing went up decades ago. The streets around Bixler Lake and the old grid near downtown are full of settled lots and full-grown maples and ash — a lot of them crowded, storm-worn, and overdue for structural pruning or removal. Emerald ash borer has hit this town hard, and standing dead ash turns brittle faster than owners expect. A property owner near Bixler Lake Park recently had us rig a dead ash down between the house and the alley where there was no room to drop it, then grind the stump flush so the mower could pass clean.

Winter is the season that defines service here. Kendallville sits far enough north to catch lake-effect bands that dump inches when Fort Wayne barely gets a dusting, so dependable snow and ice management is a real service, not an afterthought. We build seasonal plans before December and prioritize the routes where folks have to get to work no matter what the sky sends. Wet snow and ice also load weak limbs until they crack, which is why we like to prune the obvious hazards out in the fall. Mowing runs April through October, roughly $35 to $75 a visit depending on the lot. We are fully insured and pursuing our Indiana OISC licensing for fertilization — call (323) 606-0255 to get on the list before the first storm.

Kendallville Service FAQs

Do you offer seasonal snow contracts in Kendallville?

Yes. Because Kendallville catches lake-effect snow that Fort Wayne often misses, we set up seasonal plans for driveways and commercial lots so you are on our route before the first storm rather than calling around during it.

How much does mowing cost per visit?

As a planning figure, most residential mowing visits run roughly $35 to $75 depending on lot size, obstacles, and how the yard is trimmed. We give a firm per-visit or seasonal rate after we see the property.

Are you licensed to apply fertilizer and weed control?

We are fully insured, and we are actively pursuing our Indiana OISC 3a and 3b licensing for fertilization and weed-control applications. We will always be straight with you about what we are licensed to apply.

Can you take down a dead ash tree in my Kendallville yard?

Yes, and we do a lot of it here. The emerald ash borer has hit Kendallville hard, leaving standing dead ash that turns brittle and dangerous fast. We remove them before they start dropping limbs on garages and cars, grind the stump, and clean up completely. If you have a bare-topped ash, do not wait too long to call.
