Signs You Need Large Tree Removal
Visible Decay and Hollow Trunk — Rotted heartwood weakens a tree’s structural integrity. Tap the trunk with a mallet. A hollow sound indicates internal decay that makes the tree unstable. Fungal growth at the base confirms active decomposition. These trees can fail without warning.
Severe Lean Toward Structures — A tree that leans more than fifteen degrees toward your house, garage, or fence poses a direct threat. Check the root ball for heaving soil. Exposed roots on the uphill side mean the tree is actively falling. Crane assisted removal lets us control the direction and prevent catastrophic damage.
Dead or Dying Canopy — A crown with more than fifty percent deadwood signals irreversible decline. Look for bare branches, peeling bark, and hangers caught in the canopy. In some cases, tree trimming can extend the life of a declining tree, but when more than half the canopy is dead, full removal is the safer choice. In some cases, tree trimming can extend the life of a declining tree, but when more than half the canopy is dead, full removal is the safer choice. Diseased trees attract boring insects that spread to healthy specimens nearby. Removing the tree protects your landscape investment.
Proximity to Power Lines — Overgrown branches touching utility lines create fire hazards and outage risks. Trees within striking distance of high voltage equipment require professional extraction. Our crew coordinates with utility companies and establishes proper exclusion zones before operating any equipment.
Storm Damage and Structural Failure — Split crotches, torn limbs, and cracked leaders compromise the entire tree. Even if the tree survives the initial damage, weakened attachment points will fail in the next storm. A damaged mature tree near your home needs prompt removal before conditions worsen. Homeowners planning a home renovation or home improvement project should also evaluate surrounding trees for structural risk before any renovation work begins.

Our Large Tree Removal Process
Large tree removal begins with a thorough site assessment. Our arborist inspects the tree’s condition, identifies hazards, and evaluates access points for the crane and support vehicles. We note proximity to structures, utility lines, and landscaping that needs protection.
Next, we establish the work zone. The crew positions traffic cones, sets up the exclusion zone, and confirms the drop zone location. The crane operator maneuvers the boom into position while the rigger prepares slings, chokers, and tag lines.
The climber ascends using a saddle, lanyard, and climbing spurs. Starting at the crown, they section branches and limbs for removal. Each cut piece gets secured with rigging rope before the chainsaw completes the cut. The crane hoists the section and swings it to the landing zone where groundsmen guide it down.
We work from top to bottom. The climber dismantles the canopy, then bucks the trunk into manageable rounds. Heavy sections get suspended by the crane and lowered with precision.
After felling the final trunk section, our crew chips all brush and loads logs onto the trailer. We grind the stump if requested and rake the area clean. Your property looks better than when we arrived.

FAQs About Large Tree Removal
What qualifies as large tree removal?
Large tree removal applies to trees exceeding sixty feet in height or thirty inches in trunk diameter. Trees in confined spaces, near structures, or with hazardous conditions also fall into this category regardless of size.
When should I schedule crane assisted removal?
Schedule crane assisted removal when traditional felling isn’t safe. Trees surrounded by buildings, fences, pools, or utility lines need mechanical extraction. Decayed, hollow, or leaning trees also require crane support to prevent uncontrolled failure.
Why does large tree removal cost more than standard cutting?
Pricing reflects specialized equipment, larger crews, and longer job duration. Crane rental, rigging hardware, and certified operators add to the investment. The national median price for large tree removal varies based on job size and regional labor rates. Our network specializes in connecting you with top tree professionals who deliver value. The cost protects your property from damage that would far exceed the removal fee.
How long does crane assisted tree removal take?
Most residential large tree removals take four to eight hours. Factors include tree height, canopy density, access limitations, and debris volume. Our foreman provides a time estimate during the initial assessment.
Can you remove a tree close to my house?
Yes. Crane assisted removal excels in tight spaces. We suspend each section and swing it away from your roof, siding, and foundation. Our riggers guide every piece to the landing zone with tag lines for precise control.
Does Quick Cut handle permits and utility coordination?
We manage all permit applications and contact utility companies when power lines affect the work zone. This coordination is included in your estimate at no additional charge.
