Pro Tree Service handles tree service in Porter, IN and across Porter County — removals, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24-hour storm response. An ISA Certified Arborist leads our crews, and we have worked northwest Indiana since 1989.
Working on the Edge of the National Park
Porter sits directly against Indiana Dunes National Park, which puts most of the town in sand rather than clay. That matters more than people expect. Sand drains fast and holds a root plate differently than till does, so a tree here is more likely to go over whole than to snap partway up — and when it does, the root ball comes with it and the cleanup is a bigger job than it looks.
Porter also takes weather off the lake before the inland towns do. On 30 and 31 January 2026 the National Weather Service recorded ten inches at Porter, with rates above three inches an hour. That kind of loading finishes limbs that were already in decline.
Where a property backs onto park land, we work to the boundary and no further. If you are not sure where your line is, tell us and we will look before anything comes down.
Tree Trimming and Pruning in Porter
Clearance over roofs and drives, deadwood out of mature trees, weight reduction on over-extended laterals. We prune to ANSI A300 standards. Full detail on our tree trimming services page.
Dead Ash and Tree Removal
Emerald ash borer has been found in all 92 Indiana counties, and Purdue’s landscape extension reports most untreated ash in the state is dead. A dead ash does not hold still — the wood dries, turns brittle, and loses the strength a climber needs to work it safely. See tree and bush removal.
Stump Grinding
Every removal includes haul-away of the wood and brush. We price stump grinding separately and grind four to eight inches below grade, deeper if you plan to replant. See stump removal and grinding.
Storm Damage in Porter
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call and describe what you are looking at and we will tell you honestly whether it needs a crew that night or can wait for daylight.
If there are wires involved, stay away from the tree, call 911, then call NIPSCO’s electric emergency line at 1-800-464-7726. More on how we work storms: emergency and storm response.
Porter Rules and Our License
You can read the town’s requirements yourself in the Town of Porter code. The town is the authority on its own requirements, and nothing here is legal advice.
We hold a contractor’s license with the Town of Porter and keep it current. If your insurer or HOA asks for documentation, we produce a certificate of insurance naming the right entity the same day.
