The Tree Mann - Your local experts for over 50 years



In 1954, Wilford L. Mann began his career in arboriculture when he saw a need in the community for someone to remove all the large elm trees that were dying from Dutch elm disease. In addition to helping preserve the surviving trees, this action provided the wood he needed to heat his home and keep his family warm during the cold winter months. Through word of mouth, his reputation for quality service grew until in 1966 he was able leave his job at the telephone company and start a fulltime local tree and landscaping business with the help of his wife and three sons. His middle son, Dennis enjoyed the work so much he went to Purdue University and acquired a Bachelors degree in Forestry in 1971. After gaining experience in the logging business in Utah, Dennis brought his wife and first son, Brian, back to LaPorte to help grow the family's tree business.

 
Dennis Mann soon took over the growing company and decided to specialize in the care of trees, since many of the area's landscapers were now referring their clients to The Tree Mann, Inc. Today Dennis' son, Brian, an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Board certified Master arborist and member of the American Society of Consulting Arborists, is continuing the tradition and helping his father in the operation of the business. Brian Mann is also the 2nd ISA Board Certified Master Arborist in Indiana and the only ISA Board Certified Master Arborist in the Northern Indiana, Southwestern Michgan region. Together, Dennis and Brian, along with the help of 14 fulltime employees and leading arboriculture affiliates, continue to use the latest equipment, research, and techniques to care for your trees in the best manner possible.
