Crane Tree Removal Mid North Coast
Some trees cannot be climbed safely and cannot be dropped. For those, the crane does the heavy lifting and the job gets done faster, cleaner and with far less risk to your property.

Crane Assisted Tree Removal done properly
Crane work is one of the things that sets Ability Tree Service apart. Our climbers rig each section to the crane, cut it free and the crane lifts it clear over roofs, pools, solar panels and fences to a drop zone or straight onto the chipper.
It is the safest option for dead and hollow trees that are too unstable to climb, trees leaning over houses, and big trees in backyards with no room to lower limbs. It also speeds up large jobs, so there is less time with machinery on your property.
We plan every lift: crane position, ground conditions, load weights, traffic control if the crane sits on the road, and protection for lawns and driveways.

Crane Assisted Tree Removal questions
Is a crane removal more expensive?
Not always. A crane can turn a two-day climbing job into a few hours, and it greatly reduces the risk of damage. On big trees near buildings it often works out the better value.
Will the crane damage my lawn or driveway?
We assess ground conditions first and use mats and outrigger pads where needed to protect your property.
How close does the crane need to get?
It depends on the size of the tree and the crane's reach. Many backyard trees can be lifted from the street or driveway. We will confirm at the free quote.
I called Ability this morning to see if I could get a quote on the removal of two smallish trees and a palm tree. They came within half an hour, and were able to do the job straight away. 20 minutes later they were finished, and they removed all evidence of them having been there. Tidy, professional and prompt.
Matt, Tony and their team removed several large trees over and around our house using their crane. The ability, skill and workmanship was amazing. Friendly bunch of fellas too, would highly recommend their services.
