Some trees are simply too large or hazardous for standard removal methods, and that’s where we come in. At CBL Tree Service, we specialize in crane-assisted tree removal for those tough, high-risk jobs. Whether the tree is dangerously close to buildings, situated in hard-to-reach areas, or has an overgrown canopy, our experienced team has the equipment and know-how to get the job done safely and efficiently.
Using cranes, we can carefully lift and lower large sections of the tree, ensuring minimal disruption to your property and reducing any potential risks involved with removal.
Crane-assisted tree removal is often the best solution for certain situations that require extra care and precision. We typically opt for this method when:

WHOLE TREE REMOVAL
For large trees that need to be fully removed, crane-assisted removal is the most efficient and safest option. It allows us to quickly and carefully take down the entire tree in a controlled manner.

DIFFICULT-TO-ACCESS TREES
Some trees are located in tight spaces, such as small yards or areas with obstacles like septic tanks. When bucket trucks or other equipment can’t access the site, we use a crane positioned at a distance, allowing us to safely and efficiently remove the tree.

LARGE SPECIES AND HAZARDOUS TREE REMOVAL
For large trees like oaks and pines or trees that are too hazardous for climbers, cranes give us the control and ability to move large sections quickly and safely. This method ensures heavier pieces are lowered with precision, reducing risk and improving efficiency.
When dealing with large or dangerous trees, crane-assisted removal can provide the safest and most efficient solution. Our team carefully evaluates the situation and advanced cranes utilizes the right equipment to ensure precise, controlled removal, minimizing any risk to your property.

Our team begins by thoroughly evaluating the tree and its surroundings to assess the safest and most effective approach for removal.
