Crane-Assisted Removal

Big, hazardous, or right against the house? We lift it out safely with a crane.

The work

Some trees are too big, too dead, or too close to the house to take down the normal way. That is exactly the kind of job we love. With a crane, we lift heavy sections up and over your property instead of dragging them across it, which is faster, safer, and far easier on your yard.

  • For big, hazardous, near-structure trees
  • Sections lifted over the yard, not dragged across it
  • Minimal impact to lawn and landscaping
  • Safer and faster than conventional takedown

Climbing or felling a massive or compromised tree near a structure is where things go wrong for the wrong crew. A crane changes the math. We rig each section, the crane lifts it clear, and we lower it to a safe drop zone. No heavy equipment tracking across your lawn, no risky drops next to the roof.

Crane removal is the answer for trees that are too big, too close, too dead, or too dangerous to handle conventionally, including over fences, sheds, pools, and power-line clearances. If another company told you your tree is too risky, that usually means it is a crane job, and it is our specialty.

If another crew called your tree too risky

That usually means it is a crane job. Big, leaning, dead, or right on top of the house is not a reason to call someone else, it is the reason to call us.

When a crane is the right call

  • The tree is massive or very tall
  • It is leaning or dead over the house
  • It is too close to the structure to fell or climb safely
  • It overhangs a fence, shed, pool, or driveway
  • There is no clear drop zone for conventional rigging
  • You want minimal impact to your lawn and beds
How it goes

From your call to a spotless finish.

No mystery, no runaround. Here is exactly how we handle your job, start to finish.

Who it is for
