Crane Tree Removal

Introduction

In the exciting world of tree care, one service stands out due to its technical expertise and sheer spectacle: crane tree removal. Often used as a last resort, this complex operation requires advanced machinery and experienced professionals to get the job done right. Here at Prunly, we consistently provide high-quality tree removal services, including crane-assisted operations for when ordinary tree removal methods just won't cut it (pun intended).

What is Crane Tree Removal?

Crane tree removal involves using a hydraulic crane or boom lift to safely remove large, unsafe, or inconveniently located trees that present a hazard to people or property. Unlike traditional removal methods, this technique lets us remove trees in sections, which dramatically reduces the risk of injury and property damage.

Importance and Necessity of Crane Tree Removal

While preventive maintenance services like routine tree trimming & pruning can mitigate risks and prolong the life of your precious greenery, sometimes, tree removal is the only viable option. When that time comes, crane-assisted removal offers unmatched precision, safety, and efficiency. Embracing the use of cutting-edge technology is just another way Prunly puts you and your landscape first.

When is Crane Tree Removal Necessary?

Identifying when crane tree removal is necessary is just as important as understanding what the service is. It's true that crane tree removal is not always required. Still, there are certain circumstances where it's the best, if not the only, option.

Physical Property Hazards

Sometimes trees can become physical property hazards. This might happen if the roots are damaging your property's foundation or if limbs are overextending into power lines or buildings. In such situations, a crane can safely and efficiently remove the problem tree without causing additional troubles.

Risk to Human Safety

Dangerous situations can also arise when a tree is at risk of falling t00 close to your home or any other frequently used areas, such as driveways or play zones. Crane tree removal reduces the risk of injuring those in and around your property during the removal process.

Disease or Pest Infestation in Trees

If a tree becomes infested with pests or succumbs to a serious tree disease, sometimes the most effective solution is complete removal. Infected trees can potentially spread the problem to other plants in your landscape and beyond. By using a crane, we can safely dispose of such trees, ensuring that no parts remain that could further spread the infection.

Landscaping Needs

Sometimes, landscaping goals may necessitate tree removal. Whether you are expanding your lawn, renovating your house, or planning new construction, trees could be standing in the way of your project. In such cases, crane removal can be a quick and efficient solution.

Benefits and Advantages of Crane Tree Removal

A crane tree removal method brings along several benefits that enhance your property's safety and the overall appeal.

Safety

We prioritize your safety above everything else. When dealing with tree removal, the risk of property damage and personal injury is significantly larger without the use of a crane.

Prevention of Property Damage

When using traditional cutting methods, a tree often falls in one piece, which increases the risk of impact damage. A crane allows us to remove the tree one section at a time, drastically minimizing potential harm to your property.

Avoidance of Personal Injury

Our trained professionals operate the heavy machinery, which reduces the chance of personal injury. A crane's capacity to lift heavy pieces far over obstacles and place them directly onto a truck or chopping area also minimizes the crew's exposure to potential hazards.

Efficiency

Crane tree removal can be completed much faster than traditional methods, causing less disruption to your daily routine.

Time-saving

Mature trees can be vast and heavy, making them difficult to manage effectively without a crane. By using a crane, we can make fewer cuts and lifts, which saves a considerable amount of time.

Less Disruption

Given the speed and precision of a crane-assisted removal, there is less disturbance to your landscape and your day-to-day life. Plus, fewer personnel are required on site, reducing foot traffic on your property.

Crane Tree Removal Process

Crane tree removal may seem like a daunting task, but it is a straightforward process when carried out by professionals like those at Prunly. Here's a brief overview of what the process typically entails:

Assessment

A professional arborist will conduct an initial assessment of the tree and its surroundings. They will consider things like the tree's size, weight distribution, and overall health, as well as potential obstacles such as nearby structures or power lines.

Formulating a Plan

Following the assessment, we'll create a detailed plan outlining the best course of action for removing the tree. During this stage, we consider the number of sections the tree should be cut into, their order of removal, the drop zone's location, and the best positioning for the crane.

Setting Up the Crane

We ensure a firm and level base to set up the crane, respecting the safety guidelines. The crane's reach and lifting capacity are put into account when deciding the crane's location. Once the crane is set up, we may use a bucket truck to secure a sling around the part of the tree to be removed.

Cutting and Lifting

One of our trained professionals then cuts a section of the tree based on the plan. The crane operator lifts it out of the work area, over any obstacles, and places it directly in the predesignated drop zone for further processing or disposal.

Cleanup

After the tree is completely removed, we cleanup the site, removing all tree debris, leaves, and twigs.

Work Examples of Crane Tree Removal

At Prunly, we have carried out several successful crane tree removal operations. Here are a few examples:

Case 1: Tree Damaging Property Foundation

In one case, we removed an oak tree whose roots were damaging a client's property foundation. The tree was too large for traditional removal methods and too close to the property for safety. Our team used a crane to remove the tree in sections, thus preventing any further damage to the property.

Case 2: Risk from Falling Tree

In another case, a client had a massive pine tree threatening to fall onto their house. Installing a crane allowed us to surgically remove the tree piece by piece, avoiding any damage to the client's home.

Case 3: Diseased Tree

We also handled the case of a large ash tree that had fallen victim to the emerald ash borer, a pest that can devastate ash tree populations. The tree was swiftly and securely removed using a crane, preventing the pest from spreading to nearby trees.

In Conclusion

While crane tree removal may appear to involve a higher upfront cost than traditional tree removal methods, the added safety, peace of mind, and potential cost savings in the event of property damage or injury make it a worthy investment. Further, the speed and efficiency with which the task is performed can often be a significant advantage, especially for businesses or busy households.
