"The service and communication was great. Chad's tree removal quote was easily 50% cheaper than any of the other quotes I received from other providers in the Indy area. He had a bucket truck and a three man crew. I initially messaged Chad via Angie's List app and received a reply back within a few days. I could tell he was incredibly busy, so communication back and forth was fine since I didn't need immediate service. He recommended I call 811 to mark the lines in the ground prior to the work being done. Scheduling for the work was a bit tricky as we didn't quite nail down an exact date, but I received a call from him within 5 days of agreeing to the service and he was at my doorstep. Once the Trees were down, he sub contracted the stump work out through BWS Stump Removal (at ~$50 per stump) - which was equally great and the stump work was done the next day. All in all, great service and I recommend Chad to anyone in the Indianapolis area needing tree work done. I will be using his services again very soon."

"Excellent experience overall. Workers arrived right on time. Work was done as requested. They planned and executed a fairly complicated takedown of a dead cherry wood tree that had cracked at the base and fallen against our house, without the tree causing any further damage. In addition, not only did they clear major oak tree branches from our second story roof, they also blew the debris off the roof, saving us from having to do that later (at some risk to our safety). All the rest of the trimming in the front and back yards was done to our satisfaction. We did ask that they not take away the wood and trimmed branches, so they didn’t have to deal with that. But they made sure to cut the wood into manageable sizes so that we could transport it to where we needed without too much effort. The guys were very knowledgeable and friendly as well. The cost overall was quite reasonable imo because of the level of complexity involved. They also knew about the health of the trees, not just how to trim them. They helped us identify a carpenter ant issue, and provided corrective care for it. Overall, I would definitely utilize Growing Solutions for any additional tree trimming or health work that we need going forward."

"The workers were on time, arrived when they said they would. They went to work right away and worked until the job was done. They did what they said they would do. Dave and Chris did a very good job removing a large River Birch tree (close to our house, approx. 10 ft.) and a medium size thorn tree. I will hire them again and recommend them to others."

"Jason Meador with Indiana Stump Grinding immediately called my upon submitting my online request. In fact, he was the only person to call me back from Angie's List. I had three stumps which were hugging the foundation. No matter how many times I tried to kill the roots, they kept growing new branches. Jason was creative in removing the stumps and grinding them without any damage to the foundation, siding, or downspouts. He was careful with my lawn and did not go onto my neighbor's property. I thought it was respectful to ask where is the property line. Jason was additionally so helpful with a lot of other advice since he is a home inspector and real estate investor. Since I am getting ready to list my home, he made so many wonderful suggestions about my return on investment. I best describe him as honest, courteous, conscientious, fair priced, punctual, timely, detailed, polite, and a gentleman. He is a rare gem to find! It is positively amazing that he had an opening so quickly for me. The job is perfectly done. I am able to move onto the next to-do knowing I had it done right. The next owner will have no worries thanks to Jason."

Customers say: Quick response

"Highly recommend these folks. They were quick to respond to my initial inquiry, gave me a very reasonable estimate for the work, got it scheduled within less than a week of me accepting and just finished up. They were on time, professional, did an excellent job with clean up and did everything they promised: tree trimming, removal and stump grinding. Couldn’t be happier with the results."

"Used this service through the summer for basic mowing on my yard.  I'll start with the good first.  They definitely made sure that my lawn was mowed once a week.  Now on to the rest.  Asked multiple times to have the crew raise the mower blades so that they weren't cutting my grass so short & to stop edging to the ground around the house & other obstacles.  The mowing issue was that they were cutting the grass so short that it was dying & turning brown.  The trimming was even more destructive.  Basically, they trimmed all the way to the ground so every object they trimmed around now has a ring of dirt instead of grass,  I called & spoke to the owner about this & he said he would speak to the crew to remedy the situation.  Next week, same crew, same results.  Contacted owner again.  Was told that he would address it with the crew again.  Next week, same crew, same results.  
Definitely do not recommend for any lawn service from this company as they have made a wreck of my yard.

"I had Allen's Tree Service come out to remove a large tree branch that fell on and into my pool. They had a large crew, and removed the limb quickly. I was impressed with the steps they took to prevent my pool from getting any additional damage. They also skimmed the debris off the pool cover, and their cleanup had the yard looking better than before the branch fell."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. Caring for palm trees includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don’t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it’s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.
