Crane-assisted removal for trees that can't be conventionally climbed or sectioned - ideal for extremely large, hazardous, or tightly situated trees.
Crane-enabled work is a core capability, allowing crews to handle towering trees in tight spaces with precision. They can bring down a 75-foot tree in a confined spot and finish the job, including trimming, in about 2.5 hours. The team uses cranes to drop limbs and sections away from structures, avoiding ground drops and protecting nearby property. A standout project involved removing a 140-foot fir with a 120,000-pound crane, done in sections from a lakeside site. Another job showcased coordination with Millican Crane to remove a 135-foot tree in sections over a neighbor’s house, illustrating the ability to execute high-risk removals safely. In emergencies, they mobilize quickly with crane-equipped crews to secure hazards and protect homes.
On-site wood chipping turns bulky brush and branches into manageable mulch. Efficient cleanup and an option to keep the chips for your garden.

Throughout the process they communicate clearly, keep clients updated, and coordinate with neighbors as needed, minimizing disruption.
