For massive trees in tight spaces — when ropes and rigging alone won't cut it.
Most tree removals don't require a crane. But when a massive live oak has grown tight against a house, when a dead pine is leaning over a pool enclosure, or when a storm-damaged tree is hanging at a dangerous angle over a structure — crane removal is the safest and most controlled option available.
Crane removal changes the equation. Instead of cutting sections and lowering them on ropes, the crane holds each piece while the crew cuts, then lifts it clear of whatever's below — the roof, the fence, the HVAC unit — and sets it down in a safe zone. Clean, controlled, no surprises.
North Florida's sandy soil affects how crane outriggers set up on your property. Our crews are experienced with Leon County's soil conditions and know how to stage equipment safely. Tallahassee's dense urban canopy — one of the most tree-covered cities in the country — means we regularly work in tight, complex situations.
Crane tree removal starts around $1,500 and can run $5,000 or more for very large trees in difficult access situations. Crane rental is typically by the hour — experienced, well-coordinated crews keep that clock moving efficiently. We provide full written quotes before any work begins.
