Some trees cannot be climbed down in pieces without putting the house, the pool, or the neighbor at risk. That is a crane job. Jersey Tree Care brings crane-assisted removal to residential and commercial properties across Northern New Jersey. A crew that does not do this work every week is a liability when the tree is hanging over two houses. We plan the pick, the drop zone, and the street closure if the borough requires it.
What’s included
- Crane-assisted sectional removal
- Large trees over homes and garages
- Tight side yards with no drop zone
- Hazardous, decayed, or already-failed leaders
- Residential and commercial sites
- Coordination with local permits and police details when needed
How it goes
- Access and pick planWe measure the street, the setbacks, and the tree. If a crane cannot set up safely, we will tell you before you spend a dollar.
- Lift, don’t dropPieces come off the tree and onto the truck, not onto the roof. Ground crew run tag lines the entire time.
- Street back to normalCones down, chips hauled, neighbors’ driveways cleared. Crane work should feel controlled, not chaotic.
Call us when
- The tree is over the house with no room to drop wood
- Decay means it cannot be climbed safely
- A single large piece has to come off in one pick
- The lot is tight and a crane is actually the safer, faster method
Questions
Is a crane always more expensive?
Not always. On a large tree over a house, a crane can be faster and safer than three days of climbing — and that shows up in the price.
Will the crane damage my lawn or street?
We use pads, and we plan the setup from the street when we can. If the only setup is on the lawn, we will say so on the estimate.
Do you own the crane or subcontract it?
We run crane jobs with operators we trust on tree work specifically — not a general crane call-out that has never picked a green oak.
