Crane Tree Removal
Some trees are too big, too close to the house or too far back in the yard to bring down by climbing alone. We own our crane, so those jobs do not wait on anyone else's schedule.
When a crane is the right call
A tall tree overhanging a roof, a trunk between a house and a fence with no room to work, or a dead tree that is not safe to climb. In all of those the crane holds each section in the air while it is cut, then sets it down in the open instead of letting it swing or drop.
It is still a sectional takedown
The crane does not change how we work. The tree still comes apart from the top down, piece by piece. The crane carries each piece out over the roof or the fence rather than through it.
Why owning it matters
The crane is ours, along with the bucket truck, chipper, skid steer, dump truck and two Dingo compact loaders. We own all of it, so your job is scheduled around your week and not around a rental yard.
Access and setup
A crane needs somewhere to sit and a clear lift path. At the estimate we work out where it goes, what has to be moved and whether the lawn needs protecting. You hear all of that before the day, not on it.
What's included
- A walk of the site to plan the lift before the day
- Sectional removal, top down, every piece controlled
- Removals over roofs, pools, fences and driveways
- Dead and storm-damaged trees that are not safe to climb
- All brush and logs hauled away, included
- Stump grinding or full stump removal, if you want it
We cannot work on a tree touching a power line. The power company has to clear the line first.

Sections only, always
We never top a tree and we never drop one whole next to a house. Every piece is cut and carried.
One price up front
The crane is part of the quote, not a surprise line added later.

Why so many Morris County trees need one
Old trees on small lots
A lot of this area was planted out fifty to seventy years ago, and those oaks and maples are now full size on lots that were never laid out for them. The tree outgrew the yard, and there is no longer anywhere to drop it.
Backyards with no road access
In the older parts of Roxbury, Netcong and the towns around them, the back of the property often cannot be reached by truck at all. A crane can reach over the house from the street when nothing else can get near the tree.
Dead trees you should not climb
A standing dead tree, especially an ash, can look solid and be hollow. Putting a climber in one is the wrong risk when the crane can take it apart from outside.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
- Does a crane cost more than climbing?
- Not always. A crane can take hours off a job that would otherwise need slow rigging, and because we own ours there is no rental charge in your price. We tell you the number at the estimate either way.
- Will the crane wreck my lawn?
- We look at where it has to sit before the day and tell you then what we will do to protect the ground.
- Can you reach a tree in the far back corner?
- Often yes, depending on where the crane can set up and what is in the lift path. That is the first thing we check at the estimate.
- Do you top trees instead if a crane will not fit?
- No. We never top a tree. If a crane will not fit we climb and rig it down in sections instead.
