Frequently Asked Questions

We answer the phone 24/7 and set up the estimate around your schedule. Once you approve the written quote, we give you a real date based on the season and the size of the job. Storm damage and trees on structures go to the front of the line through our emergency tree service.

Yes. We come out, look at the job with you, give you a verbal estimate on the spot, and follow up with a written quote by text or email. No fee, no pressure.

Carmel is home, and we work throughout Hamilton County and the north side of Indianapolis, including Westfield, Zionsville, Whitestown, Sheridan, Fishers, and Noblesville, plus Indianapolis neighborhoods like Broad Ripple, Nora, and Meridian Hills, and over to Speedway. See our service area page for the full list.

Yes. Property managers, HOAs, small businesses, builders, and general contractors use us for tree work, seasonal cleanups, mulching, lot clearing, and snow. The process is the same as for homeowners: on-site quote, written price, scheduled work.

No job is too small. One limb over the driveway, a single stump, or a couple of beds that need mulch are all jobs we are happy to take.

Your choice. We haul everything off, or we cut the trunk and larger limbs to length and stack them for your fire pit at no charge. Delivery outside Hamilton County carries a fee. Details are on our tree removal page.

Yes. Tree work runs all year, landscaping runs spring through fall, and snow plowing and salting keep the trucks busy in winter.

By height, trunk diameter, and access. Our starting prices are $1,400 for trees under 30 feet, $2,500 for 30 to 60 feet, and $4,000 for trees over 60 feet, with the exact number confirmed in writing after we see the tree.

Yes. Most winter customers have us plow and then salt in the same visit, and we offer a pet- and plant-friendly deicing option. Start on our snow plowing page.

Yes. Basements, garages, attics, and spare rooms. We carry it out and load it; you do not lift anything. Hazardous items and certain appliances are handled separately, and the junk removal page lists what we can and cannot take.

We invoice after the work is complete. On larger projects we may ask for a partial payment along the way, which we explain in the written quote. You receive a final receipt when the job is done.

A real person answers, we set up a time to look at the job, and you get a verbal estimate on site followed by a written quote. If you are not home for the walkthrough, we call or FaceTime you from the yard.

Our tree removal prices start at $1,400 for trees under 30 feet, $2,500 for 30 to 60 feet, and $4,000 for trees over 60 feet. Diameter and access change the final number, and you get it in writing before we schedule.

It depends on your town and whether the tree is in a right-of-way or protected area. We will tell you what we know about your address, and you can confirm with your city before the work is scheduled.

Yes, and it is free. We cut it to length and leave it stacked where you want it. Delivery to addresses outside Hamilton County has a delivery fee.

Most single-tree removals are done in a few hours. Large trees or tight access can take most of a day. We tell you what to expect when we quote it.

We can. Stump grinding is quoted as an add-on so you can decide whether you want the stump gone or would rather leave it.

Trimming is the larger-scale safety and clearance work on big trees. Pruning is the smaller, health-focused work on ornamentals and fruit trees. We do both.

Late winter for most species, while the tree is dormant. Dead or dangerous limbs can be removed any time of year.

Yes, and it is the most common mistake we see. Removing too much canopy at once stresses the tree. We take what is needed and plan the rest for a later season.

Roofs, gutters, siding, and driveways, yes. Branches touching utility lines need the utility company involved first, and we will tell you when that is the case.

Per tree, canopy raising runs $250–$750, thinning $300–$1,200, and pruning or deadwooding $300–$800, depending on height and how much comes off. We confirm the number after an on-site look, in writing, before we schedule.

Spring and fall cleanups, mulching and decorative stone, grass seeding and sod installation, grading and leveling, leaf removal, and lot clearing. We do not do weekly mowing.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper that way. Our tree services and landscaping crews share trucks and schedules.

Yes. HOAs, property managers, small businesses, and builders use us for seasonal cleanups, mulching, and lot clearing.

Call or text us or use the estimate form. We visit, give you a number on site, and follow up in writing.

Debris removal from lawn and beds, cutting back perennials and grasses, bed edging, hedge and shrub trimming, and haul-away. Mulch can be added to the same visit.

Cutting back perennials, a final hedge trim, clearing leaves and debris from beds and hardscape, and haul-away. Heavily treed lots may want a separate leaf pass.

Yes, it is part of every cleanup. We shape them to their natural form and time flowering shrubs so you keep next year's blooms.

Yes. Most spring cleanups finish with fresh mulch, and it is cheaper to do it in the same visit.

Most residential cleanups take a few hours. Large lots or yards that have gone a few seasons can take a full day.

Hardwood mulch installed starts at $190 per yard, including bed cleanup and manual edging. Premium mulches add $10 to $15 per yard.

Dyed and specialty blends that hold color longer or match a specific look. They cost slightly more per yard.

Black and brown hardwood mulch are standard. Ask about other options when we quote.

Yes. River rock runs $245 per yard and decorative stone like lava rock or granite $460–$520 per yard, and every stone installation includes weed fabric underneath so the rock stays clean.

We measure your beds on site and tell you. A typical two- to three-inch layer is what most beds need.

Furniture, appliances, yard waste, construction debris, tires, playsets, hot tubs, and general household junk. If you are not sure, send a photo.

Chemicals, liquids, paint, batteries, motors, and hazardous materials. Refrigerators, freezers, stoves, microwaves, and outdoor power tools go through a scrapper and are handled separately.

Yes. Basements, spare rooms, attics, and garages. We carry it out; you do not lift anything.

Yes. Brush, limbs, old fencing, and landscaping debris are all fair game, and we can pair it with a cleanup.

Single items run $100–$500 depending on size and location, and full loads $250–$800 depending on volume and weight. You get a number in writing before we start.

We do not recommend it. Concrete less than a year old can flake and pit from deicing salt. We plow and shovel new driveways carefully and skip the salt unless you ask for a gentler product.

Yes. It costs more than standard salt, and we will quote both so you can choose.

Yes. Freezing rain and refreeze days often call for salt alone, and we run those as stand-alone visits.

Right after we plow, or when ice is in the forecast. Timing matters more than quantity.

Driveway and sidewalk salting runs $55–$125 per application, and commercial lots $150–$400 by size. The pet- and plant-friendly product is priced higher. You get the number in writing before the season.
