What's included
Some trees are too big, too close to the house or too far gone to drop or climb safely. Absolute Tree Service owns its own crane, so Josh can take those trees down in sections and lift each piece over the roof, fence or pool instead of letting it fall. The crew rigs a section of the tree to the crane, the crane takes the weight, and the section is cut free and swung over to an open spot in the yard or driveway, where it's cut up and hauled away. Because nothing free-falls, there's far less risk to the house, and the crew spends less time working in a dead or damaged tree. Crane removal is often the right call for dead oaks and ash that have become brittle, big trees leaning over the house, backyards with no room to drop limbs, and storm-damaged trees hung up on a roof or another tree. Because the crane is ours, a crane job doesn't wait on renting one from another company. Josh looks at the tree in person, checks where the crane can set up and how far it needs to reach, and gives you a clear quote before any work starts. There's no job too big: we handle everything from a single large tree to several big removals on one property, with full cleanup when we're done.

What customers say
Common questions
Do you own your crane?
Yes. Absolute Tree Service owns its own crane, so a crane job doesn't wait on renting one from another company. Josh checks at the free estimate where the crane can set up and how far it needs to reach.
When does a tree need a crane?
A crane is usually the safest option when a big tree is over the house or garage, when the tree is dead or rotted and not safe to climb, or when there's no open space to drop limbs. Josh will tell you at the estimate whether your tree needs the crane or can be climbed.
How much does crane tree removal cost?
It depends on the size of the tree, where the crane can set up and how far it has to reach. A crane adds equipment, but on a big tree over the house it can also shorten the job and cut down on cleanup. Josh gives free on-site quotes, and nothing starts until you say yes.
Will the crane damage my yard or driveway?
Josh plans where the crane will set up at the free estimate, with your lawn, driveway and septic in mind. Lifting sections out also means less heavy wood hitting or being dragged across the yard, and we clean up the work area when the job is done.
