Crane-assisted removal for trees that can't be conventionally climbed or sectioned - ideal for extremely large, hazardous, or tightly situated trees.
Crane capability is a defining feature of Timber Source's large-tree work in Edwardsville and the surrounding communities. Clients consistently highlight the crane's role in safely removing giant trees in tight spaces—between houses, near power lines, and on steep slopes. They also emphasize top-down disassembly, with branches dropped in controlled chunks to protect the lawn and nearby structures. Examples include removing a massive oak near power lines and maneuvering the crane through yards to minimize disturbance, followed by thorough cleanup. Overall, the pattern shows safety-focused, efficient, and highly coordinated crane work that Edwardsville residents can rely on.
Equipped with stump grinding machinery to eliminate leftover stumps after removal. Leaves your yard clean and ready for replanting or landscaping.
Stump grinding is a central capability, supported by modern gear such as a robotic stump grinder that crews bring in to tackle large stumps and even nearby shrub stumps. In multiple jobs, they grind stumps down to below-grade levels—one customer noted grinding to about eight inches below grade—and remove the grindings, leaving the area ready for fill, reseeding, or landscaping. Cleanup is consistently thorough, with reports of yards left clean and intact, and safety-minded practices like using plywood or mats to protect turf during equipment movement. The stump work often accompanies broader tree-removal projects, including multiple large trees, with careful maneuvering near structures or power lines and with no damage to surrounding landscape. Locally in Edwardsville and Glen Carbon, clients repeatedly highlight reliable, efficient stump grinding as part of a high-quality, one-stop service.
Ready to respond after high winds, ice storms, or heavy snow bring trees and limbs down across your property.
Rapid storm cleanup is a clear strength, with instances of same-day response to dangerous wind damage and even Sunday calls to secure fallen limbs and protect structures. Crews arrive with cranes and other heavy equipment to safely remove large trees or limbs in tight spots near houses and power lines, working in a coordinated, well‑oiled manner. Post-removal cleanup is meticulous: debris is hauled away, stumps are ground, and the site is leveled and restored, with mats used to protect lawns and landscaping from heavy traffic. Across these experiences, customers note professional, safety-focused service with clear communication and minimal disruption to property, underscoring Timber Source’s storm cleanup capability in Edwardsville and nearby communities.
