A Recent Crane-Assisted Removal in Springfield: When Standard Climbing Isn't Safe

Post Copy

Not every large tree can safely come down the traditional way, and a recent Springfield job was a clear example why.

The tree in question was a tall, structurally compromised Douglas fir wedged tightly between a home and a detached garage, with almost no room for a climber to safely rig and drop sections by hand. Instead, our team brought in a crane to lift each section straight up and out, away from both structures, keeping full control of every piece from cut to ground.

The job was finished in a single day with zero damage to either building, something that would have carried significant risk with a conventional climbing removal in that tight of a space. Crane work costs more than a standard removal, but on certain jobs it is genuinely the safer, more precise option.

Assessing which method a tree actually calls for, rather than defaulting to one approach, is part of doing this work right.
