At Southern Tree Solutions in Griffin, GA, we enhance tree care with our comprehensive tree crane service, offering an advanced solution for all your tree removal needs. When traditional methods fall short, our crane-assisted tree removals provide the necessary lift to tackle even the most challenging projects quickly and precisely.
Tree crane service uses a mobile crane to lift each section of a tree up and out as it’s cut — rather than lowering pieces with ropes or dropping them to the ground. In Griffin, it’s typically needed for very large trees, trees in tight backyards, trees overhanging roofs or pools, storm-damaged trees with compromised structure, and any job where rigging-only removal would be too slow or too risky.
Crane-assisted removals in Griffin typically increase in cost from simple jobs to more complex removals — the crane usually saves time and reduces landscape impact, which partially offsets a higher hourly cost. We give you a firm crane-assisted quote during your free on-site estimate.
We typically recommend a crane for trees that are very tall (60+ feet), very heavy (large oaks, hickories, and mature pines), hazardous because of decay or storm damage, or positioned in a spot where a climber would be at risk. Any tree directly over a roof, pool, or shed is also a strong candidate for crane work.
We set the crane in the best staging spot on your property, our climber or bucket operator attaches a rigging point near the top of the tree, we cut the section, the crane lifts it cleanly over the house or yard, and sets it down in our drop zone for processing. We repeat top-down until the tree is gone, then clean up and grind the stump if that’s on the work order.
In most high-risk situations, yes. Crane removal keeps cut sections off roofs, fences, and landscaping, reduces climber fatigue (a leading cause of tree-work injuries), and lets us remove very large pieces in one lift rather than many small cuts. On the right job, it’s the safest method available.
Yes — in Griffin we often use crane service specifically because it allows us to reach trees that sit in the middle of a fenced backyard or tucked between a house and a neighbor’s garage. We evaluate staging locations during the estimate and confirm we can safely set up without damaging driveways, fences, or irrigation.
If your tree is very tall, overhangs your home or pool, has significant decay, sits in a tight backyard, or has been damaged by a storm, odds are high that crane work is the safest option. During our free estimate we’ll tell you whether a crane is needed or whether traditional climbing and rigging will do the job just as safely.
