When a tree is too large, too close to a house or too unstable to climb, a crane lifts it out in controlled sections.
Some trees are too big or too close to safely take down by dropping pieces. A crane changes the equation. It holds each section while the cut is made and lifts it clear of roofs, pools, fences and power lines, so nothing falls where it should not.
Crane-assisted removal takes planning: access for the crane, setup space, ground conditions, weight estimates for each piece and a clear lift path. A Certified Arborist plans the sequence, a rigger and operator work with the climber and the crew keeps the area controlled from the first pick to the last.
Large trees beside houses, trees over pools or outbuildings, hollow or decayed trunks that cannot be climbed safely, storm-damaged trees under tension and tight lots with no drop zone are good candidates. A crane reduces risk and often reduces damage to your lawn too.
Cranes need space and firm ground. We check the street, the driveway, overhead lines and the lawn, and place the crane where it can reach safely. We use ground protection to reduce lawn and driveway damage and tell you in advance what to expect.
Each section is rigged, cut and lifted in a planned order. The crew works from the top down while the operator holds the load. Weight estimates keep each lift within the crane capacity, and the lift path stays clear of people and property.
We confirm the date, the arrival time, the setup location and any street or driveway needs ahead of time. We ask you to move cars, mark sprinklers and keep people and pets inside. Cranes usually shorten the time on site, though setup takes some planning.
