Tree Pruning and Trimming

If you want gorgeous, wow-worthy trees, investing in ornamental pruning is smart. Pruning offers the following benefits:

  • It eliminates weak, misaligned branches that may crack and/or fall
  • It enables your tree to focus on the growth of a strong central trunk
  • It reduces the risk of pest infestations and diseases

Tree Removal

Is your tree blocking too much sunshine for you to have a thriving flower or vegetable garden? Are your tree’s roots tearing up your sidewalk or growing threateningly close to the main sewer line? Call us for tree removal and cleanup now.

After we’ve taken down your tree, we can turn it into mulch or firewood. We can also haul the debris away for you, so there’s never any mess for you to clean up.

Additionally, we offer stump removal and stump grinding. Consider stump grinding or removal if you’d like to lay sod or plant a flower bed in the area.

24/7 Emergency Tree Service

We don’t often get tornadoes here in South Bend, but high winds can be enough during a nasty storm to send trees flying. At our tree service in South Bend, IN, we understand that fallen trees are an emergency, especially if they land on your house.

If you need crane-assisted tree removal, call us 24/7. We will safely remove the fallen tree without doing further damage to your property.

Tree Preservation

South Bend is home to many handsome old trees; perhaps you have some of them in your yard. If so, you know that the older a tree gets, the tougher it is to care for.

We can keep your trees healthy and beautiful for generations to come with techniques such as specialty pruning, cabling, injections, and soil amendments.

Tree Planting

Thinking about adding some new trees to your residential or commercial property? Great choice! Trees beautify your yard, filter out airborne pollutants, and can even boost your property value.  Our pros can plant trees of any size. We’ll also help you choose a species and an ideal planting site.

Arborist Consultations

Is your tree sick, but you can’t figure out why? Call us for an expert arborist consultation. Our ISA-Certified Arborists can identify any pest or disease and provide a remediation plan to restore your tree to its former glory.

Our experts may recommend cabling and bracing if your tree needs extra support. We might also suggest lightning protection if you’re concerned about damage from lightning strikes.

We offer pre-construction consultations, too. Call us if you need guidance before breaking ground on your project.

Tree Fertilization

Trees in the forest get by without added fertilization, but in the suburbs where soil quality is poor, your trees need a helping hand. Unlike other tree service companies, we don’t just make your tree look greener. Rather, we focus on your tree’s health starting from the roots up.

Our fertilization treatments are 100% safe for your tree and the surrounding soil.

Pest and Disease Management

Pests and tree diseases can get out of control here in South Bend, especially during the balmy spring and summer months. We’ve battled these foes for years and know precisely how to stop diseases and tree-munching pests in their tracks.

We offer:

  • Dutch elm disease treatment
  • Emerald ash borer prevention and treatment
  • Tree injections
  • Tree spraying
  • And more

Firewood Delivery

It’s smart to have firewood on hand when cold winter weather blows through South Bend. We deliver seasoned hardwood firewood straight to your door.

WOW! They did a fantastic job with the detailed trimming on my huge tree and cutting down a couple pine trees. I wouldn't have known they were there, with the excellent clean up job, had I not missed the overgrown trees that were there before. Thank you! Highly recommend!

Tree Care Resources for Property Owners in South Bend, IN 

South Bend truly cares about its trees. The city must approve all arborists who work within its limits, and it can require homeowners to have trees removed or pruned if they’re deemed a problem (overgrown, diseased, etc.).

Additionally, you’ll need a permit from the city to remove trees on the street or in historic areas. If you’re unsure how to obtain a permit, we can apply for one on your behalf.
