Crane-Assisted Tree Removal Services in the East Bay
Large, hazardous, or hard-to-access trees often require specialized equipment to remove safely. Evergreen Tree Care provides professional crane-assisted tree removal for residential, commercial, and municipal properties throughout the East Bay. Our certified crews work closely with licensed crane operators to complete complex removals efficiently, with maximum protection for your home and landscape.
When Crane-Assisted Removal Is the Safest Choice
Cranes allow our arborists to remove trees that are too large, unstable, or restricted by structures to be taken down with traditional climbing or rigging. This method reduces risk, speeds up the process, and minimizes impact on your property.
Common situations where cranes are recommended include:
Trees leaning toward homes, garages, or fences
Dead, dying, or structurally compromised trees
Removals near busy streets, powerlines, or tight spaces
Massive trees with limited rigging points
Trees too dangerous for climbers due to decay or instability
Crane removal ensures the highest level of safety for both people and property.
Our Crane Removal Process
Evergreen’s approach prioritizes safety, planning, and clear communication every step of the way.
Site Evaluation & Crane Positioning
Our ISA Certified Arborists assess the tree, surrounding structures, and ground stability to determine safe crane placement. We coordinate with licensed operators and plan the lift path to protect buildings, utilities, and landscaping.
Rigging & Sectioning the Tree
Once positioned, the crane lifts large tree sections directly from the canopy. Our arborists secure each section with certified rigging gear before signaling for controlled lifting and lowering.
Controlled Lowering to a Designated Drop Zone
Each piece is placed safely into a designated work area where our ground crew cuts, processes, and manages debris efficiently.
Cleanup & Debris Management
After removal, we chip branches, cut logs to size, and fully clean the site. Optional stump grinding prepares the space for replanting or future landscaping.

From pruning to removals and storm response, our residential programs keep East Bay properties safe and attractive.
Residential Tree Services
For homeowners, structural support often pairs with residential pruning or removals when trees become too large or hazardous. Our full residential services ensure your East Bay property is both safe and beautiful.
Plant Health Care
Cabling can extend the life of stressed or vulnerable trees, but Plant Health Care addresses the underlying causes. Treatments like fertilization or soil improvement help trees recover their strength once structural supports are in place.
Commercial Tree Care
On commercial properties, weak or failing trees pose liability risks. Our commercial tree care programs include cabling and bracing alongside regular pruning and inspections to protect tenants, visitors, and investments.
Tree Analysis & Consulting
Structural tree support decisions start with expert analysis. Our arborists provide detailed tree risk assessments to determine when structural support is the best option—and when removal or pruning is more effective.
Defensible Space
In fire-prone East Bay areas, cabling may stabilize high-value trees you want to preserve while still clearing hazardous vegetation. Our defensible space services balance safety and preservation.
