Most tree removals end with a climber on a rope. Crane tree removals end with a hardwood lifted off the property in pieces, set down exactly where the crew points. When the tree is too big, too close to the house, too rotted to climb safely, or sitting somewhere a bucket truck can’t reach — the crane is the right answer.

Apex runs a crane truck. The boom folds, so the truck parks on the road, the boom reaches up and over the house, and the operator picks the tree apart from above. The climber never has to leave the ground. We pick trees off lake homes, off commercial roofs, off utility easements, off historic homes in Henderson — without truck ruts across your lawn or a panicked scramble when something doesn’t go as planned.

Every crane tree removal job gets walked on site before we book it. We come out, look at the tree, look at what’s underneath, and tell you exactly how we’re going to take it down — what we’re staging, where the boom goes, how long it takes, what the yard looks like when we leave. Fully insured, COI in your hands before we start.

Common questions

How does a crane tree removal actually work?

We park the crane truck on the road or drive and extend the boom up and over the house — safely up to 107 feet — then lift the tree out in sections from the top down, setting each piece exactly where we want it. No climber has to go up a compromised trunk.

Is it safe to lift a tree over my house?

That’s exactly what the rig is built for. Lifting a section straight up and away is far more controlled than dropping it and hoping — nothing swings toward the roof, and each piece is set down well clear of the structure.

Do I really need a crane, or will a regular crew do?

We bring the crane on every removal. It’s how we take trees down — the saw cuts from the crane, the pieces go straight to the debris truck, and nobody climbs.
