When a tree becomes a safety hazard, removing it quickly and carefully is essential to prevent damage to homes, power lines, and property. At Big Foot Tree Service, we specialize in crane-assisted tree removal, an advanced method that allows us to safely remove trees that are too large, weak, or unstable for traditional removal techniques.
Why Use a Crane for Tree Removal?
Not all tree removals require a crane, but in certain situations, it’s the best and safest option. A crane is needed when:
- The tree is leaning dangerously over structures, roads, or power lines.
- It is too large or unstable for climbers to remove safely.
- The tree is in a hard-to-reach location, such as a fenced yard or near buildings.
- Storm damage has weakened the tree, making it unsafe to cut using standard methods.
Using a crane allows us to remove trees piece by piece without dropping heavy limbs onto your property, reducing the risk of damage.
Our Crane Tree Removal Process
Our team follows a carefully planned approach to ensure safety, precision, and efficiency when removing a hazardous tree using a crane.
Step 1: Site Inspection & Planning
We start by evaluating the tree’s size, health, and location to determine the best removal strategy. We also check if a permit is needed in your area before proceeding.
Step 2: Positioning the Crane
A certified crane operator sets up the crane in a stable location, extending its outriggers for balance. This step is crucial to ensure the crane can handle the tree’s weight safely.
Step 3: Securing the Tree
Our expert tree climbers or bucket truck operators secure the tree using heavy-duty straps or cables, ensuring controlled lifting.
Step 4: Cutting & Lifting Tree Sections
The tree is carefully cut into smaller, manageable sections. Each piece is lifted away by the crane and transported to a safe drop zone.
Step 5: Lowering & Processing the Tree
Once lowered, our ground crew cuts, chips, and hauls away the wood and debris. This process minimizes disruption and ensures a clean finish.
Step 6: Stump Grinding & Final Cleanup
After removing the tree, we offer stump grinding services to restore your landscape. Our team also cleans up any remaining debris, leaving your property neat and damage-free.
