Pro Tree Service handles tree service in Burns Harbor, IN and across Porter County — removals, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, lot clearing and 24-hour storm response. An ISA Certified Arborist leads our crews, and we have worked northwest Indiana since 1989.
An Industrial Town Needs Different Tree Work
Burns Harbor is a small town wrapped around a port and a steel operation, and the tree work here reflects that. Trees over rail spurs, along fence lines and truck routes, in yards that cannot stop operating while a crew works. That is a different job from a backyard removal and it gets planned differently.
We schedule around your operation rather than expecting the reverse, including outside business hours where a drop zone would otherwise close a lane or a dock. Roughly half our work is commercial, institutional and municipal, so this is normal for us rather than an exception. More on who we serve.
Burns Harbor also sits on the lakeshore side of the county, which means it takes northwest storm flow before the inland towns do, and the ground runs to sand rather than clay.
Commercial and Industrial Capability
We work to ANSI A300 pruning and ANSI Z133 safety standards, which is what most industrial and municipal specifications call for by name. We can issue a certificate of insurance naming the correct entity — a property owner, a management company, or the town — usually the same day. Our crews are employees on our own payroll rather than subcontractors, which means the coverage question has a clean answer if anyone is injured on your site.
Residential Work in Burns Harbor
The other half is the ordinary kind: a dead ash in the back yard, limbs over a roof, a tree that came down in a storm. Same crews, same standards. See tree trimming and 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 Burns Harbor
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we work by hazard rather than call order. Trees on occupied structures first, then blocked access.
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.
