When it comes to tree removal, especially for towering pines or oaks common in Chesapeake, specialized equipment is often required to ensure safety and efficiency. One tool that stands out for these types of jobs is the crane. At Scott Lane’s Tree Service, we understand that homeowners may wonder why a crane is necessary for removing trees. Here’s a closer look at how crane-assisted tree removal works and why it’s beneficial for both your property and the crew handling the job.
Why Use a Crane for Tree Removal?
Removing a large tree is a complex process. The tree’s height, weight, and proximity to buildings or power lines all influence the method used for removal. A crane allows our team to safely lift and lower heavy branches and large sections of the tree, avoiding potential damage to surrounding areas. Here’s why using a crane can be the best option for tree removal in Chesapeake:
1. Increased Safety
Safety is always a top priority at Scott Lane’s Tree Service. For extremely tall trees or those growing near structures, traditional methods of cutting branches one by one can be hazardous. A crane provides a secure way to lift tree sections without the risk of them falling unpredictably. This method keeps both our crew and your property safe.
2. Efficient and Quick Removal
Using a crane speeds up the removal process significantly. Instead of labor-intensive cutting and lowering, our team can lift large sections of the tree at once. This efficiency reduces the time spent on your property and allows us to complete even complex jobs in a timely manner.
3. Protection for Your Yard
Traditional tree removal often requires cutting branches and letting them fall to the ground, which can damage landscaping, lawns, and other plants. Crane-assisted removal, however, avoids ground impact because tree sections are carefully lifted and moved away. This minimizes the footprint of our work and leaves your yard in better condition.
4. Accessibility in Tight Spaces
Chesapeake homes sometimes have trees growing close to structures, fences, or other obstacles, which makes standard removal techniques challenging. A crane allows Scott Lane’s Tree Service to reach trees in tight or otherwise inaccessible areas, providing a safe and effective solution.
When Is Crane-Assisted Tree Removal Necessary?
Not every tree requires a crane for removal, but certain situations make it the preferred method:
• Trees over 80 feet tall
• Trees leaning dangerously or with damaged trunks
• Trees in hard-to-reach locations
• Situations where traditional climbing and cutting pose safety risks
Our experienced team evaluates each tree individually to determine the best approach. In cases where a crane is necessary, we bring in specialized operators and equipment to handle the job with precision and care.
