Fast and Professional Removal of Aging Pines

- Taking down two 60-year-old pine trees
Introduction
Andrew Moats walked outside one morning and looked up at the two massive 60-year-old pines towering over his property. They’d been standing there long before he bought the place. Impressive, yeah. But lately they’d been making him nervous. Too close to the house, blocking light, and starting to look unstable.
Project Summary
Location: Northwest Indiana
Service: Taking down two 60-year-old pine trees
Equipment Used / Tools: Chainsaws, bucket truck, rigging gear, stump grinder, chipper, dump truck
Team: Skilled arborists and ground crew
Completion Time: One day, wrapped up in three hours
The Challenge
Taking down two mature pines meant planning every cut to avoid smashing anything valuable and figuring out how to move those enormous logs quickly without dragging the job out all day.
Main Challenges
- Dropping large trees safely in a neighborhood without hitting structures or power lines.
- Chopping heavy limbs down into pieces the crew could actually move without a forklift.
- Finishing fast while still making sure the cleanup was thorough enough that Andrew wouldn’t find pine needles for weeks.
“T&T Tree Service did an outstanding job cutting our 2 sixty year old pine trees. They gave excellent service. They were professional and made sure all the pieces were picked up and raked up. They finished their work within a 3 hour time period. We would definitely use their services again in the future. 5/5 stars.”
— Andrew Moats, Northwest Indiana Homeowner
Good to Know
Old pines lose stability as decades pass. Root systems deteriorate, branches turn brittle, and a strong storm can send them crashing exactly where you hope they won’t go. Getting them removed early means protecting your house while opening up the yard so light and airflow improve significantly.
Our Solution
Step 1
Certified arborists walked around both trees, eyeballed the lean, checked for weak spots, and mapped out how they'd take everything down without incident.
Step 2
The bucket truck and rigging equipment came out next. Crew started at the top, cutting sections and lowering each piece with ropes instead of just letting gravity handle it.
Step 3
Those big logs got cut into smaller sections right there on site, then fed through the chipper or tossed in the dump truck depending on size.
Step 4
After the trees hit the ground, they raked up stray branches, swept loose debris, and offered stump grinding so Andrew's yard would be flat and usable again.
Did You Know
White pines around Indiana regularly hit 70 feet or more and can weigh several thousand pounds once you account for the trunk, limbs, and root system. Getting pros to remove them isn’t just about convenience. It’s about not ending up with a tree through your roof or a lawsuit from a neighbor.
Why Choose T&T Tree Service
Our crews know how to handle big removals without turning it into an all-week project. They show up with the right gear, work fast, treat your property like it matters, and leave nothing behind except more space in your yard.
Our Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do you dispose of large trunks?
Your choice. We can cut them into firewood lengths and stack them somewhere convenient, or load up everything and haul it away so it’s completely off your hands.
2. Do you offer stump grinding?
Absolutely. Grind it flush with ground level, or if you prefer, we can excavate the entire root ball so nothing’s left below the surface.
3. Will the equipment damage my lawn?
We lay down protective mats and boards wherever heavy machinery needs to roll so your grass doesn’t get torn up.
The Result
Andrew’s two 60-year-old pines were gone within three hours. His yard felt spacious, light poured in, and the clean finish exceeded his expectations.
