Land and lot clearing, turn an overgrown parcel into usable ground.

From a single overgrown back lot to acreage prepped for building, we clear trees, brush, and undergrowth efficiently. We can selectively clear to keep mature trees you want, or take a parcel down to grade for construction, fencing, or pasture.

EAB has killed a large share of Fort Wayne's ash trees — dead-ash removal is a major local need. Our crews see a lot of oak, maple, ash, silver maple on local properties, each behaves differently when it comes down.

Not sure whether it’s time to call? These are the situations where Fort Wayne homeowners most often reach out to us:

• An overgrown lot or back acreage needs to be made usable
• You’re prepping ground for a build, fence, pole barn, or pasture
• Invasive brush and scrub have taken over
• You want selective clearing that keeps the good mature trees

If any of these sound familiar, a free on-site assessment will tell you exactly where you stand, no obligation.

From a single overgrown back lot to acreage prepped for building, we clear trees, brush, and undergrowth efficiently. We can selectively clear to keep mature trees you want, or take a parcel down to grade for construction, fencing, or pasture.

• Stump grinding or extraction across the parcel
• Chipping on-site or haul-off of material
• Grading-ready cleanup for construction or fencing
• Selective or full clearing of trees & brush
• Underbrush, scrub & invasive removal

Clearing ranges from a weekend of brush work to multi-acre site prep, and the right approach depends on what the ground is for. We can selectively clear, pulling scrub, invasives, and junk trees while protecting the mature hardwoods worth keeping, or take a parcel down to grade for construction. Material can be chipped on-site into usable mulch or hauled off entirely.

Northeast Indiana ground brings its own challenges: heavy clay holds water, low spots stay soft well into spring, and old fence lines hide everything from wire to volunteer black locust. We walk the parcel with you first, flag what stays, and give you an itemized, per-acre estimate adjusted for density, terrain, and disposal.

Doing this work right takes the proper equipment, trained people, and real insurance. Fort Wayne Tree Services brings all three, plus an ISA-certified arborist who can tell you when a tree can be saved instead of removed.

1. Free on-site estimate. We come out, assess the tree and the site, and give you a clear written quote, no pressure, no surprises.
2. Schedule the work. We lock in a date that works for you. Storm and hazard jobs jump the queue.
3. Safe, clean execution. Our insured crew does the work with proper rigging and protects your lawn, fences, and lines.
4. Cleanup & walkthrough. We chip, haul, rake, and walk the site with you before we leave. You only pay when you’re satisfied.

Every property is different, so we quote each job on-site. The main factors:

• Acreage & density: A quarter-acre of brush vs. wooded acreage is priced very differently.
• Selective vs. full clear: Saving specific trees takes more care and time.
• Terrain & access: Wet ground, slopes, and limited access slow equipment.
• Material disposal: On-site chipping vs. hauling everything off changes cost.

The only way to get an accurate number is a free on-site estimate, call FW Tree Services or request a quote online.

From the first call to the final rake, we keep it simple and transparent. You’ll get a real human who books a free on-site visit, an itemized written estimate you can actually understand, and a crew that shows up when we say we will. We protect your property as we work, communicate if anything changes, and don’t consider the job done until the site is clean and you’ve walked it with us.

No surprise charges, no high-pressure add-ons, and a straight answer if we think a tree can be saved rather than removed. That’s the standard we hold on every land clearing job, large or small.

It’s a small thing, but it matters: we treat your yard the way we’d want ours treated. That means laying down protection where heavy equipment runs, keeping the work area tidy as we go, and never leaving a mess of ruts, sawdust, and brush behind. The cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought you have to chase us about.

Land clearing is skilled, sometimes dangerous work, and the most important question to ask any company is whether they carry insurance. Fort Wayne Tree Services carries full general liability and workers’ compensation, with proof available on request. If an uninsured crew is hurt on your property or drops a limb on your roof, you can be left liable, never worth the risk to save a few dollars.

The trees we work on most around Fort Wayne are oak, maple, ash, silver maple, Bradford pear, and each behaves differently. EAB has killed a large share of Fort Wayne's ash trees — dead-ash removal is a major local need. Fort Wayne is the 'City of Three Rivers' — riverbank lots mean soft soil and storm-prone mature trees.

Local soil is heavy Indiana clay, which holds water and can leave big trees shallow-rooted and storm-prone. Add heavy summer thunderstorms & straight-line wind in summer and winter ice & snow load in winter, and it’s easy to see why Fort Wayne properties need attentive, professional tree care rather than a once-a-decade afterthought.

Every land clearing job starts with a free, itemized written estimate, no obligation and no high-pressure sales. For larger jobs, we offer financing so an urgent removal or a big project doesn’t have to wait for the right month. Request your free estimate or call us to get on the schedule.

Fort Wayne Tree Services works throughout Fort Wayne and the surrounding towns, including New Haven, Huntertown, Leo-Cedarville, Grabill, Woodburn, Monroeville, and more. The City of Fort Wayne regulates removal of trees in the right-of-way; private-property removal generally needs no permit — confirm per municipality (New Haven, etc. differ). Wherever you are in the area, we’ll bring the right crew and equipment and leave the site clean.

Land clearing is one part of what we do. Many Fort Wayne customers pair it with tree removal, tree trimming & pruning, stump grinding & removal, emergency & storm damage tree service, or full storm cleanup. Tell us everything that needs attention and we’ll handle it in one visit and one estimate.
