"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."

"David Carter did a great job for me. He was prompt and kept me informed of how he planned on completing each task. He removed my fence and removed a very large stump in just 1 1/2 day. I would recommend his service to all!"

"Indiana stump Grinding is a fantastic company to work with. As a landscape contractor we are generally have to keep an eye on our subcontractors to be on time and do the quality of work we expect. Not with Indiana stump grinding! They make the process easy and do exactly what they say they will exceeding expectations. I would recommend them to everyone and do!"

"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.

"Corey and crew arrived promptly and went right to work. Falling the trees was tricky because of fence, lawn plants and ornaments, but they accomplished it with no damage. All the trees, branches, twigs and leaves were cleaned up beautifully. Corey also gave me a discount on the second tree, which was not included in the original estimate. I am very satisfied and intend to make them my "tree guys" in the future."

Customers say: Quick response

"Hired them to remove a tree that had been struck by lightning. They done a very good job and cleaned up everything. They were $1000 dollars less on the quote. They said my other 3 trees needed topped and trimed. For a $1000 they done all three and they look so much better. Again they cleaned up everything. Would hire again. I thank Angie for the help."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.
