24-hour Crane Assisted Tree Removal Service

If you live in a neighborhood, chopping down a tree and letting it fall is probably not an option. Instead, let our crane team safely remove the tree from the top down, section by section. Our crane can lift each section over obstacles and buildings.

Tree removal is a critical task that requires careful planning, skill, and the right equipment to ensure safety and efficiency. One method that has gained popularity in recent years is tree removal via crane. This approach combines the power and precision of a crane with the expertise of arborists to safely and swiftly remove large trees, especially those in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. In this write-up, we will explore the process and benefits of tree removal via crane.

The Process:

  1. Site Assessment: The first step in tree removal via crane is a thorough site assessment. Certified arborists evaluate the tree's condition, size, location, and potential hazards. They also assess the surrounding environment to ensure there are no obstacles or structures that might hinder the crane's operation.
  2. Crane Setup: Once the assessment is complete, a suitable crane is selected based on the tree's size and weight. The crane is positioned at a safe distance from the tree, and its outriggers are deployed to provide stability. Rigging equipment, such as slings and cables, is attached to the tree's limbs to prepare it for removal.
  3. Arborist Expertise: Trained and experienced arborists play a crucial role in the tree removal process. They strategically prune branches and limbs, reducing the tree's weight and maintaining balance to prevent sudden shifts during removal.
  4. Controlled Dismantling: The crane operator works in close coordination with the arborists. Using the crane's precise controls, they lift and carefully lower each section of the tree to the ground. This controlled dismantling minimizes the risk of damage to property and ensures the safety of the crew and bystanders.
  5. Debris Management: As the crane operator and arborists lower each section, ground personnel are responsible for clearing away debris and branches to maintain a clean and safe work area. The tree is often cut into manageable pieces for easy disposal or repurposing.
  6. Final Cleanup: After the tree is completely removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned, and any remaining stump can be ground down to ground level if necessary.

Benefits of Tree Removal via Crane:

  1. Safety: Tree removal via crane minimizes the risk associated with traditional tree removal methods. The controlled lifting and lowering of tree sections reduce the chances of accidents, property damage, and injury.
  2. Precision: Cranes provide exceptional precision and control, allowing arborists to remove trees in confined spaces or near structures with minimal risk.
  3. Speed and Efficiency: Using a crane significantly speeds up the removal process. This efficiency can be crucial in emergency situations or when a swift response is required.
  4. Minimal Impact: By carefully selecting the crane's location and controlling the tree's descent, tree removal via crane minimizes damage to the surrounding landscape and reduces the impact on neighboring trees.

Tree removal via crane is a highly efficient and safe method for removing large and potentially hazardous trees. It combines the expertise of certified arborists with the precision of modern crane technology, making it an excellent choice for urban and suburban areas where space and safety are paramount concerns. When executed by trained professionals, this method ensures a successful and controlled tree removal process while minimizing risks to people and property.

  • I called Stephen after another tree removal had completely blown me off, he came right out and did an estimate. Just three days later he and his crew expertly took 8 pine trees down in our backyard. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a true professional for any tree issues.

  • Lloyd reached out to me right after I did my Home Advisor search. He listened carefully to what I was looking to have done - tree trimming, not tree removal. He works in an organized and safe manner, communicating clearly to his crew. Lloyd's work is not only professional, it is art. I highly recommend that you call Lloyd, Stephen, Andrew, etc. The quote was fair; the service splendid. I don't mind yard clean-up, but they didn't leave any for me to do! Kudos to Lloyd's Tree Service on their excellence!
