Crane services


Tree removal using a crane is a controlled, professional method for taking down large, hazardous, or hard-to-access trees where ground-based removal would be unsafe or impractical. A crane lifts sections of the trunk and large limbs away from the work area so crews can cut and lower pieces precisely, minimizing property damage and risk to workers.

When it’s used

  • Large trees in tight urban lots where falling sections could damage homes, vehicles, power lines, or landscaping.

  • Trees adjacent to structures or on steep slopes where rigging and lowering from the ground aren’t feasible.

  • Emergency removals of trees damaged by storms that pose immediate hazards.


typical process

Site assessment:

Arborist and crane operator inspect tree size, condition, access, ground bearing, utility clearances, and nearby hazards.

Crane set-up:

The crane is positioned on stable ground (outriggers used), a lift plan is made, and safety zones are established.

Rigging:

Certified riggers attach slings/bridles to selected limbs or trunk sections, often after making initial pruning cuts to balance loads.

Sectional removal:

Crew cuts the tree into manageable sections; the crane lifts each piece clear of the site and sets it on waiting trucks or a designated drop area.

Cleanup and stump work:

debris is removed, chippering may be performed, and stump removal or grinding is completed if requested.
