About Michiana Timber and Tree
Michiana Timber and Tree is a family tree company in Shipshewana. Its main trade is logging, and it also does forestry consulting, tree care, land clearing, and sawmill work. It began in 2004 on a family farm in an Amish community and has more than 20 years in the trade. The owner, Mel Slabach, is on site for every job, and the firm is licensed, bonded, and insured. On the timber side, it offers timber management, selective harvesting, tree marking and mapping, and access road planning. It works with walnut, hardwoods, and softwoods, and it sells hardwood firewood, split and stacked on site. Other work includes tree removal, storm cleanup, hazard tree assessments, pruning, brush hogging, and full lot clearing. Its portable sawmill cuts custom lumber right on your land. The areas it names include Elkhart, Goshen, Warsaw, South Bend, Fort Wayne, and Sturgis, Michigan. A job starts with a walk-through of your woods, where the crew checks tree health and points out near and long-term options. Everything is mapped, marked, and measured, and each step from inventory to harvest is explained before work begins. You can sell timber to them directly, or have them market it for you. They handle the marking, cutting, and marketing themselves, with "no middlemen, no runarounds." Estimates are free and guaranteed. It suits a landowner with a wooded tract who wants a written plan before any cutting, or a farm owner who needs storm cleanup, firewood, or a sawmill job on the home place.
