When it comes to removing large or dangerously located trees—especially towering pines and oaks common in Chesapeake, VA—sometimes a chainsaw and a ladder just won’t cut it. That’s where crane-assisted tree removal comes in.
At Scott Lane’s Tree Service, we’ve been using cranes to safely and efficiently remove tall trees for over 35 years. Whether a tree is leaning over your home, entangled in power lines, or simply too tall for traditional removal, a crane may be the best and safest option.
🧯 Why Use a Crane for Tree Removal?
Removing a tree with a crane isn’t just about convenience—it’s about precision, safety, and protecting your property.
✅ 1. Safety First
Tall trees can pose serious hazards to homes, fences, vehicles, and nearby structures. A crane allows us to lift sections of the tree away from danger without dropping them.
✅ 2. Access Difficult Spots
Backyards with tight access or trees growing in awkward spots? A crane can reach over buildings and fences with ease.
✅ 3. Faster, More Efficient
What would normally take a full day or more can often be done in a few hours with the right crane setup.
✅ 4. Minimizes Lawn Damage
By lifting large tree sections directly out instead of dragging them across your yard, we reduce the risk of tearing up your lawn or landscape.
🌲 When Is Crane Removal Necessary?
- Very tall pine or oak trees
- Trees leaning toward homes or power lines
- Storm-damaged trees
- Dead or decaying trees too dangerous to climb
- Trees too close to buildings for traditional felling
