Your Trusted Tree Company in Shipshewana, IN

At Michiana Timber and Tree, we’re more than just tree contractors; we’re your neighbors, your land partners, and your go-to crew for honest, dependable work. Based in Shipshewana, IN, our story began in 2004 on a family farm in the heart of an Amish community. What started as a personal mission to learn safe tree removal after a devastating storm has grown into a full-service tree company with deep roots in the community.

For over 20 years, we’ve helped landowners manage, clear, and care for their wooded properties with a level of professionalism you’d expect from a larger company, but with the values of a small-town crew. We’re licensed, bonded, insured, and committed to doing the job right the first time. From timber management and tree services to portable sawmill work, firewood sales, and full lot clearing, we handle every part of the process ourselves. That means no middlemen, no runarounds, just transparent service you can count on.

Our owner, Mel Slabach, is on-site for every job, ensuring the work gets done with care, precision, and accountability. Whether you’re a farmer, private landowner, or developer, we’ll treat your land like it’s our own, because we live and work by the same values. When you call us, you’re not just getting a service. You’re building a partnership with a company focused on community, sustainability, and long-term results.
