Crane removal assessment and lift planning
When crane-assisted removal is the right call

Remove large or high-risk trees safely with crane assistance

Crane-assisted removal is recommended when trees are oversized, compromised, or surrounded by structures where controlled lifting is safer than relying on a drop zone. We assess access, canopy position, lean, and nearby hardscapes, then plan a safe lift path for clean, controlled removals.

  • Large trees with limited drop zones
  • Removals near roofs, pools, screen enclosures, fences, and driveways
  • Dead or storm-damaged trees that are unsafe to rig or climb
  • Heavy lean, split trunks, or weak structure
  • Tight access properties, narrow side yards, fenced-in lots
  • Sites where protecting landscaping and hardscape matters most

How we work

Our crane-assisted removal process

Every crane job starts with a lift plan and ends with a clean site. We coordinate access, protect your property, and remove the tree in controlled sections that are rigged and lifted out with precision. This approach is ideal when there is no safe drop zone or the tree is oversized.

ASSESSMENT

We evaluate tree size, condition, lean, and surrounding structures, then confirm access for crane setup, safe work zones, and lift paths.

CLEANUP AND OPTIONS

We chip brush, haul debris, and leave the area clean. Optional add-ons include storm cleanup, wood haul-off, and stump grinding for a full reset.

Need standard removal or stump grinding too?

Crane-assisted removal is ideal for oversized trees and tight sites, but many properties also need standard tree removal for smaller trees, plus stump grinding to finish the job cleanly. We’ll recommend the safest approach based on access, risk, and total cost.

  • Standard tree removal for smaller trees or better drop zones
  • Stump grinding to remove trip hazards and prep for sod or landscaping
  • Storm cleanup and haul-off options after removals
  • Risk reduction recommendations when pruning is a safer alternative
