Crane-Assisted Tree Removal in Tallahassee
Some trees can't come down the normal way. That's why we have the crane.
Not every tree can be climbed and pieced down safely. When a massive oak is leaning over your house, tangled in power lines, or wedged between structures — that's when you need a crane. Reed Tree Service owns and operates crane equipment for the most challenging removals in the Tallahassee area.
When You Need a Crane
Crane-assisted removal is the right call when a tree is too large or too dangerous for conventional climbing. Common scenarios include trees leaning directly over homes, trees tangled in utility lines, dead or structurally compromised trees that can't be safely climbed, trees in tight spaces with no room for them to fall, and large sections that need to be lifted out rather than dropped. If another company told you the job was impossible, call us.
How Crane Removal Works
Our crane operator lifts sections of the tree from the top down while a climber makes the cuts. Each piece is lifted up and over any obstacles — your roof, your fence, your neighbor's pool — and set down safely in the drop zone. It's surgical precision with heavy equipment. The whole process is often faster than traditional climbing because we're not fighting gravity on every cut.
The Equipment Advantage
Most tree services in the Tallahassee area don't own crane equipment. They either subcontract it (adding cost and delays) or turn down the job entirely. We have our own crane on hand, which means faster scheduling, lower cost to you, and a crew that's trained to work together as a unit.
Our Crane Services Process
We don't cut corners. Here's how every crane services job works from start to finish.
Site Survey
We assess the tree, the surrounding structures, and crane access. Every crane job gets a custom plan.
Setup
The crane is positioned and stabilized. We establish the drop zone and clear the work area.
Section Removal
Our climber cuts sections while the crane lifts each piece clear of obstacles and sets it down safely.
Full Cleanup
Once the tree is down, we grind the stump (if requested), remove all debris, and leave the site clean.
