Our Tree Removal process.
On-site assessment

Rigging & safety plan
We map drop zones and rig the tree, protecting your home, fence, and power lines before the first cut.
Sectional dismantling
Big trees come down in controlled pieces, climbed or crane-assisted, never felled blindly near structures.
Haul-off & cleanup
Wood and brush removed, ruts raked, surfaces blown clean. Stump grinding available the same visit.

The trees we remove most often in Churubusco are silver maple, pin oak and ash. The big local factor is tornado season. Spring supercells cross Whitley County most years; tornado-force winds uproot shallow-rooted spruce and maple. We also see a lot of emerald ash borer. Reached northeast Indiana by the mid-2000s; standing dead ash are the top removal hazard in Whitley County. Winter dormancy (December-March) is the best time for removals and pruning in Churubusco because frozen ground limits lawn damage, and Purdue Extension advises not pruning oaks from April through July to avoid oak wilt.
Permits & rules in Churubusco
Churubusco publishes no tree ordinance, tree board or tree-removal permit on its website, and the town code is not hosted on Municode or American Legal, so we could not confirm any permit requirement for trees on private property. Trees in the right-of-way along town streets fall under the Street Department, which maintains town streets, sidewalks and storm drainage; US 33 and SR 205 through town are INDOT right-of-way, and county roads outside the town limits belong to the Whitley County Highway Department.
Storm debris: The town's spring and fall Junk Day curbside pickup (trash customers only) explicitly excludes yard waste, and no municipal brush or storm-debris pickup program was found, so limbs are the homeowner's or contractor's to haul.
