Evansville's tree canopy tells the story of the city itself. Pin oaks, silver maples, sweetgums and sycamores shade everything from grand Riverside mansions to West Side shotgun houses to tree-lined East Side ranches, all sitting on the flat Ohio River floodplain behind the levees. That same canopy also brings real challenges: emerald ash borer killing green ash trees citywide, Bradford pear trunks splitting under ice and wind, silver maple limbs snapping over roofs and power lines, and spring thunderstorms and derechos that leave homeowners scrambling after storm damage.

Evansville Tree Service has been handling tree removal, trimming, stump grinding and emergency cleanup across Evansville (47711) and the surrounding areas for years. When a limb is hanging over your roof, a storm has knocked down a tree, or you need to clear sight lines and overgrowth, we show up with the experience and equipment to do it right, safely, and without drama.

Tree Service in Evansville (47711)

We know Evansville's neighborhoods and their trees. The Riverside historic district has massive pin oaks and sycamores that need careful clearance pruning over 19th-century brick mansions and their wiring. Jacobsville, Howell and the West Side have tight lots, narrow alleys and old German-heritage cottages where access is tight and precision matters. The East Side and North Side are full of 1950s-70s ranches with carports and power lines running close to mature maples and pines. Newer subdivisions spreading north toward McCutchanville and Newburgh have younger trees but plenty of storm damage from the hot, hazy, humid summers and the heavy spring and ice storms that hammer this part of the Ohio Valley.

Our crews handle clearance pruning over roofs and wires, ash removals from emerald ash borer, storm cleanup, stump grinding, and land clearing. We know when a tree can be saved with good pruning and when it needs to come down, and we understand the local soil (heavy silty clay that causes root heave), the tree species that thrive and fail here, and the weather patterns that create emergencies.

How a Job Works in Evansville

You call us at (930) 212-4965 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment. Our team walks your property, looks at the tree species, size, health and location, checks for overhead wires and nearby structures, and talks through what you need. We give you a clear estimate with no surprises.

Once you approve, we show up with the right equipment and crew. We handle tight lot access on the West Side, coordinate with HOAs on visible removals in subdivisions, work carefully around power lines and rooflines, and manage debris removal. We use proper rigging for hazardous removals, chip brush on-site when practical, and haul away stumps and logs. Storm damage jobs get priority scheduling.

We leave your property clean and safe. Final walkthrough, and we're done. No mess, no guesswork.

Tree removal in Evansville typically runs from a few hundred dollars for a small tree to several thousand for a large oak or maple over a structure. Trimming and pruning start at $250 and scale with the size of the job and the number of trees. Stump grinding starts at $150 per stump. Emergency tree service and land clearing estimates are free. The main cost factors are tree size and species, access (tight lots cost more), whether the tree is over a roof or power line, urgency, and debris volume. A large silver maple over a house on a narrow West Side lot costs more than the same tree on a wide East Side lot. Call us at (930) 212-4965 for a free estimate. We'll give you a real number based on what we see.

Why do so many green ash trees in Evansville need to be removed?

Emerald ash borer has devastated green ash across Indiana and the Ohio Valley. The insect kills the tree from the inside out, and there's no practical way to save a heavily infested ash. We remove dead and dying ash trees, grind the stumps, and help homeowners plan replacement trees that will thrive in Evansville's clay soil and humid summers, like river birch, red maple or hackberry.

What should I do if a storm knocks down a tree or leaves a dangerous hanging limb over my roof?

Call us right away at (930) 212-4965. Emergency tree service is our priority. We respond quickly to storm damage, fallen trees on structures or vehicles, and hazardous limbs threatening power lines or rooflines. After spring thunderstorms and derechos, we're busy, but we get to emergency calls fast. Have your address and a description of the damage ready when you call.

How much does it cost to remove a large tree in Evansville?

A large pin oak or silver maple over a house in Evansville typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 or more, depending on height, proximity to structures and power lines, lot access, and debris volume. A smaller tree in an open yard costs less. The only way to know is a free on-site estimate. Call (930) 212-4965.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Evansville?

Tree removal permits are required in many Evansville neighborhoods for trees above a certain diameter, and some areas have protected heritage tree ordinances. Check the City of Evansville website or call the city to confirm your property's rules before removing a large tree. We can help coordinate permits and inspections, and we know the local requirements well.

My neighbor's tree branches hang over my roof and property line. What can I do?

Indiana property line law says you can trim branches that cross your property line back to the property line, but you cannot enter the neighbor's property to do it and you should ask first. If the overhang is significant or the tree is diseased, a conversation with your neighbor is the best start. We can assess the situation and help you plan a trimming or removal. HOA approval may also be needed for visible removals in subdivisions.

Are you fully insured for tree work at my Evansville home?

Yes. Your property and our crew are protected.

When is the best time to trim or prune trees in Evansville?

Late winter and early spring (February through March) is ideal for most pruning in Evansville, while trees are dormant and before new growth starts. Summer pruning is okay for light cleanup, but avoid heavy pruning in hot, humid weather. After spring storms and ice storms, we do emergency cleanup whenever it happens. Fall pruning is generally not recommended because it can stress trees heading into winter. Call us to discuss the best timing for your trees.
