Tree Removal

If you have a tree that needs to go, don’t risk removing it by yourself. Tree removal requires expert knowledge and the proper equipment to do it right. Our contractors have both in spades.

After tree removal, we can grind or extract the stump, giving you a clean slate to plant a flower bed or sod. We also haul away debris at no extra charge. If you like, we can process your tree into mulch or firewood.

Tree Pruning and Trimming

Even if you’re a DIY type, pruning branches in your tree’s canopy can be challenging. This is especially true if your tree hangs over the St. Joseph River. You wouldn’t want to fall in while trying to prune your tree!

Let our expert tree service handle tree pruning for you. Our ornamental pruning pros will artfully remove undesirable branches and haul away the debris when they’re done.

Tree Preservation

Here at Higher Ground Tree Care, our motto is “Save Your Tree.” We do everything possible to save trees, whether that requires root pruning, soil amendments, cabling and bracing for structural support, or a combination of preservation techniques.

If your tree looks like it’s failing, don’t give up yet. We’ve worked miracles for many Elkhart homeowners and may be able to do the same for your tree.

Tree Planting

Can’t decide on what trees to plant for your property? Let us help you choose. We only recommend species that are well suited for our Indiana climate. We’ll also pick a great planting site and give you care recommendations for your new trees.

24/7 Emergency Tree Service

If a dangerous tree has fallen on your home, it’s time to break out the big guns. We can haul away fallen trees with cranes and other heavy-duty equipment. Additionally, we can work with your insurance company if you need help making a claim.

Tree Fertilization

Unsure whether your tree needs fertilization? Here’s how to tell:

  • The normally dark-green leaves are turning pale green or yellow.
  • Branches are weak and droopy.
  • It hasn’t grown very much or at all.
  • It produces poor yields (for fruit trees).

If your tree exhibits any of these symptoms, call us for soil amendments and root zone improvement.

Pest and Disease Mitigation

Pests are a big problem in Elkhart, especially for homeowners near the St. Joseph River. Aphids, emerald ash borers, and other pests can swarm trees by the hundreds in spring and summer. Waterfront trees are also susceptible to root rot and mold growth.

If you need tree disease prevention or tree insect treatment, call us for tree service in Elkhart, IN.

Professional Arborist Consultations

Our ISA-Certified Arborists can answer any questions you have about your tree, no matter how complex. We can inspect your tree and tell you whether preservation is possible or whether removal is the best option.

Additionally, we offer pre-construction consultations. This service can help you decide which trees to remove before construction can begin.

Quality Firewood Delivery Service

Winters in Elkhart can be downright frigid, so why not prepare with firewood delivery? Relax and stay warm while we bring firewood straight to you.

True professionals. Matt said he'd be here at 4pm and Matt was here at 4PM. He took down an 85-foot oak tree and dropped it in a relatively tight space. I never thought for one second that Matt wasn't in total control of the tree. I highly recommend Higher Ground Tree Care!

“Friendly. Very knowledgeable. Arrived early. Took his time to explain what he was doing to enhance the health of our tree. He answered a question I had about a low branch and went ahead and trimmed it for us. I probably would have trimmed in the wrong spot!”

Larry N.

“They did a very professional job removing my large apple tree and then grinding out the stump. It was in a tight area and they never hit my irrigation pipes or my other landscaping and pond. When they left there was no debris in the yard anywhere. They did a beautiful job.

Marijo K.

“When your team arrived they got right to work. As they began cutting down our two trees they were mindful of our yard and other nearby plants and shrubs. The raking and cleaning up after the removal was first class. I highly recommend Higher Ground for your tree trimming and//or tree removal!”
