This is a crane job, not a climbing job. ### Every Quote Comes With a Walk-Away General tree services keep saying they need a crane, then they don't come back. That is our whole specialty. ### The Drop Zone Is Too Tight The tree is over a power drop, against a fence, or on a lot with no clear fall path. Crane work solves this exactly. ### Liability Is the Real Concern A wrong cut onto a roof or utility line is catastrophic. You need a crew insured for that outcome, not one that hopes it works. ## When You Need a Crane, Not a Climber Big trees over structures are not a climbing problem — they are an engineering problem. A mature pecan hanging over a San Angelo roof holds thousands of pounds of wood in the crown alone. Trying to fell it, even in pieces, puts every one of those pounds on a path that will end somewhere. Crane-assisted removal lets us take that same weight and put it exactly where we want it — on the ground, in the landing zone, one controlled pick at a time. ![Sectional crane dismantling in progress over a home](/images/content/sectional-crane-dismantling-in-progress-over-san-a.webp) ## What Crane Work Actually Looks Like Every crane job starts with a **load chart** and a survey. We check the reach and radius against the crane’s capacity, we identify staging that keeps the outriggers on solid ground, and we plan the pick sequence with the lead arborist and the crane operator together. Then a climber goes up, attaches the rigging to a section, and the crane takes the weight. The climber cuts. The crane lifts the section — clean of the roof, clean of the fence, clean of the power drop — and swings it to the landing zone. Ground crew chips it while the next pick is being rigged. **Zero-impact removal** is not a marketing phrase; it is the whole point of using the crane. For truly dead trees or trees where climbing is unsafe, we can rig picks from the ground and from a bucket truck instead of a climb. Every option keeps the structure below safe. ## Where This Service Is the Right Call - **Mature oaks and pecans over homes** on tight San Angelo lots - **Trees over power drops or near primary lines** (with utility coordination) - **Trees leaning on structures** where felling would drop load onto the structure - **Multi-trunk mesquites** in tight commercial and residential access - **Dead or storm-damaged trees** where the climb itself is the hazard ## Why the Price Range Is Wide Crane removals in San Angelo typically run **$1,500–$12,000**, and complex over-structure picks can go higher. The number depends on reach, section count, staging complexity, and time. A modest crane pick on a suburban lot is a very different job from a 90-foot pecan over a two-story home with utility coordination. We quote each job on-site, in writing, with the crane size and staging plan spelled out.

Last updated: July 13, 2026 How It Works ## How Crane Removal Works 01 ### Site Survey & Load Charts We survey the site, measure the reach and radius, check load charts for the crane size, and identify staging that keeps the rig on solid ground. 02 ### Rigging & Pick Plan The lead arborist and crane operator agree on section sizes, pick points, and the sequence — largest, most compromised sections first when practical. 03 ### Sectional Dismantling A climber attaches the rigging, cuts each section, and the crane lifts it clear of the structure to a landing zone. Ground crew handles chipping and haul-off in parallel. 04 ### Ground Protection & Cleanup We use ground protection mats on lawns and driveways, chip everything as we go, and leave the site clean.
