Tree Removal in Fortville runs about $400 to $1,900, averaging near $720. Fortville is two towns stacked on each other: a platted-1849 core between Main Street, Broadway and Memorial Park where the housing is late-1800s to early-1900s, and a new-construction ring north and east built on cropland since roughly 2015. Population went 3,929 (2010) to 4,784 (2020) and has kept climbing, so a large share of the roofs are under ten years old with nursery-stock trees to match. In Mt. Vernon North, Beyers Estates and Manship Estates, access is usually the swing factor rather than the tree itself.
Fortville is two towns stacked on each other: a platted-1849 core between Main Street, Broadway and Memorial Park where the housing is late-1800s to early-1900s, and a new-construction ring north and east built on cropland since roughly 2015. Population went 3,929 (2010) to 4,784 (2020) and has kept climbing, so a large share of the roofs are under ten years old with nursery-stock trees to match.
The most concrete local evidence is the town's own prohibited-species list (Ch. 95.22, adopted 2002), which bars silver maple, box elder, cottonwood, all willows, all elms, mulberry, Lombardy poplar, tree of heaven, black walnut, black locust, paper and European white birch, southern catalpa, Bradford pear and ginkgo except seedless cultivars from any public street, alley or park planting. Mature shade trees line the old core, the north and east subdivisions carry five- to ten-year-old planted stock, and ash is effectively gone statewide from emerald ash borer.
Flat, somewhat-poorly to very-poorly drained till dominated by Crosby silt loam and Brookston silty clay loam, with Sloan and eroded Miami on the creek slopes and graded fill where subdivisions were cut in — a tight subsoil that pushes roots into shallow plates.
Height — a 20-footer is a few hundred, an 80-foot oak over a roof is four figures. Access — can a truck and chipper get to it, or is everything carried by hand. What's underneath — a clear yard versus a roof, a fence, a pool or a power drop. Condition — dead and brittle costs more than live, because it can't be climbed.
