Crane-assisted tree removal for safe precision work

Crane Tree Removal

For the jobs that need more than a climber and a chainsaw.

Crane Tree Removal

Some trees are too big, too close to the house, or too difficult to access for conventional removal. That's when you bring in a crane. Krause Arborist coordinates with professional crane operators to safely lift and remove large tree sections vertically — no swinging, no dragging across your roof or yard. Every crane removal is planned by our ISA Certified Arborist, who maps each cut and lift sequence to protect your property. What might take days of rigging can often be completed in hours with a crane, making it safer and more efficient for the toughest jobs.

Common Questions

When is a crane needed for tree removal?+

A crane is typically needed when a tree is too large or heavy for standard rigging, when access is too limited for equipment, or when the tree is directly over a structure where swinging sections would cause damage. Our arborist will recommend it when it's the safest, most efficient option.

How much does crane tree removal cost?+

Crane removal is a premium service due to the specialized equipment involved. Cost depends on tree size, crane requirements, and job complexity. We provide free on-site estimates prepared personally by an ISA Certified Arborist.

Is crane removal safe near my house?+

Crane removal is actually safer than conventional methods for trees near structures. Instead of swinging sections on ropes, each piece is lifted straight up and set down in a controlled landing zone. Every lift is pre-planned by our ISA Certified Arborist.
