Removing a tree is the most dangerous job in landscaping, and Fort Wayne has more hazardous trees than most towns realize. The emerald ash borer left thousands of dead and dying ash across Allen County, and a dead ash is brittle, unpredictable, and exactly the kind of tree that hurts people and drops on roofs. All About Tree & Turf removes trees the safe way — with the right rigging, the right insurance, and a crew led by someone who has taken down 40-foot trees hanging over structures.

We handle everything from a single hazard tree in a tight backyard to lot clearing, and we finish the job with stump grinding and a clean haul-off so you're not left with a crater and a pile of brush. Fully insured, straight pricing, and no leaving your yard torn up.

How It Works

  1. 1Hazard assessmentWe inspect lean, deadwood, decay, and proximity to structures and wires, then explain your options honestly.
  2. 2Written estimateYou get a firm price covering removal, stump grinding, and cleanup — no vague add-ons afterward.
  3. 3Controlled takedownWe rig and lower the tree in sections when needed to protect your home, beds, and hardscape.
  4. 4Stump grindingWe grind the stump below grade so you can replant, sod, or reclaim the space.
  5. 5Cleanup and haul-offBrush is chipped and hauled, the site is raked clean, and grindings are handled per your preference.

Stump grinding — folded into the removal

A tree removal isn't really finished while a stump is still in the ground. Stumps are trip hazards, they sprout suckers, they attract insects, and they get in the way of mowing and replanting. We grind stumps several inches below grade so the area can be filled, seeded, sodded, or replanted. Stump grinding on its own commonly runs in the range of roughly $75 to $400 per stump depending on diameter, root spread, and access — and it's more economical bundled into the removal while our equipment is already on site.

Why dead ash shouldn't wait

Standing dead ash get more dangerous, not less. As the wood dries it becomes brittle and unpredictable, which makes the removal itself riskier and more expensive the longer it stands. If you have an ash that's dropping bark, has bare upper branches, or shows the S-shaped galleries of the borer under the bark, it's worth getting on the schedule before the next storm decides the timing for you.

What Affects the Price

We give free, itemized estimates — no fake online prices. Your quote depends on:

  • Tree height, trunk diameter, and species (dead ash needs extra care)
  • Proximity to houses, fences, and power lines
  • Access for equipment vs. a technical rigging job
  • Whether stump grinding and debris haul-off are included
  • Number of trees and total volume of wood and brush

Tree Removal FAQs

How much does tree removal cost in Fort Wayne?
Most removals fall in a broad range of roughly $400 to $2,000+ depending on the tree's size, species, and how close it is to structures or wires. Large or hazardous trees over a house cost more because of the rigging and risk. Stump grinding runs about $75 to $400 per stump. We give free, written estimates.
Do you grind the stump too?
Yes. We grind stumps below grade and can bundle it into the removal, which is more economical than bringing equipment back for it later. We'll leave the area ready to fill, seed, or replant.
Are you insured for tree removal?
Fully. Tree removal is high-risk work, and we carry insurance on our crews and equipment. We're glad to provide a certificate of insurance before we start — never hire an uninsured tree company.
Is my dead ash tree an emergency?
If it's leaning over a structure, has large deadwood over where people go, or is dropping limbs, treat it as urgent — call our 24/7 line. Even a stable dead ash gets more brittle and dangerous over time, so it's best not to wait a season.
Will removing a big tree tear up my lawn or driveway?
Not when it's rigged right. On tight or high-value sites we lower limbs and sections by rope instead of dropping them, lay down protection where equipment travels, and rake the area clean when we're done. We'll walk the access plan with you before we start so there are no surprises, and we leave the site ready to replant or sod.
