Crane Tree Removal
A crane lifts large sections up and over your roof or fence, so trees no crew can fell by hand come down safely.

Crane Tree Removal in Summerville & Charleston
Some trees can't be felled and can't be pieced down by rope. When a tree leans over a roof, stands in a fenced backyard a bucket truck can't reach, or is too decayed for a climber, a crane lifts it out in large, controlled sections — up and over everything worth protecting.
The details
What Crane Tree Removal Includes
A crane removal starts with an on-site assessment of the tree, what sits underneath it, and where the crane can set up. The pro rigs the crane to a cut section, makes the cut, and the crane lifts the section straight up and over your roof, fence, pool, or power lines before setting it down clear. Trunk and limbs are cut into manageable pieces, debris is hauled away, and the site is cleaned up. Stump grinding can usually be arranged as a follow-up.
What Affects the Cost
- Tree size and species — a mature live oak's limbs can weigh thousands of pounds and call for more crane capacity.
- Crane access — how close the crane can position, whether from your driveway or the street.
- What's underneath — a roof, pool, fence, or power lines raises the complexity of every lift.
- Permits — grand or protected trees in Summerville and Charleston County can require town or county approval before work begins.

Most single-tree crane removals are completed in one day. Jobs with multiple trees, very large trees, or tight street access can run longer — your pro will tell you at the quote.
Move cars and patio furniture clear of the work zone, unlock gates, mark sprinkler heads or septic areas the crew should avoid, and have your plat or property survey handy if the crane may need to stage from the street.
