Removing hazardous trees near homes and structures requires experience, planning, and the right equipment. At Howes Tree Services LLC, we specialize in hazardous tree removal in Central Maine, often using crane assistance when trees cannot be safely removed using traditional methods like climbing and rigging.
Recently we completed a hazardous tree removal that required careful planning and crane support to safely dismantle a large tree growing close to a home.
Evaluating a Hazardous Tree
When homeowners contacted Adam about a potentially dangerous tree, the first step is a careful inspection by a licensed arborist.
In this case, the tree showed several signs of becoming hazardous:
Significant lean toward the house
Large limbs extending over the roof
Structural weakness in the trunk
Limited space for safe felling
Because of these factors, Adam determined removing the tree in sections with crane assistance was the safest and most controlled approach.
Crane Assisted Tree Removal
Crane assisted tree removal allows large sections of a tree to be lifted away safely while Adam, a professional tree climber works in the canopy.
Using specialized rigging techniques, the tree is dismantled piece by piece while the crane operator carefully lifts and lowers each section to the ground.
This approach offers several important advantages:
Minimizes risk to nearby homes and structures
Allows safe removal of very large trees
Reduces impact to surrounding landscape
Provides controlled lowering of heavy tree sections
For hazardous trees located near buildings, cranes often provide the safest and most efficient solution.
