Crane lifting an 80-ft tree near home in Lynn, MA, to prevent property damage

Is a Giant Tree Threatening Your Home or Power Lines?

Massive trees growing too close to your house, garage, or power lines are more than just inconvenient. They pose a serious safety hazard. One strong storm can turn a leaning tree into a disaster, costing thousands. That’s why property owners in Lynn, MA, rely on Zacarias Tree & Landscaping for professional crane-assisted tree removal services.

Our crane-assisted tree removal in Lynn, MA is the safest and most efficient way to handle oversized, hazardous, or hard-to-reach trees. When standard removal methods won’t work, our licensed and insured crews use crane equipment to extract the tree safely and with precision. We proudly serve Lynn and surrounding towns with 24/7 emergency support and proven expertise.

Why Use a Crane for Tree Removal?

Crane-assisted tree removal is ideal for tall or hazardous trees near homes, driveways, fences, or utility lines. Here’s why it’s the smart solution:

  • Control: Our operators and arborists work together to guide every lift with exact precision.
  • Safety: We lift each section of the tree vertically and away from your property, minimizing risk to structures and people.
  • Speed: Cranes dramatically reduce removal time, often completing complex jobs in a single day.
  • Low Impact: No heavy limbs crashing to the ground. We protect your lawn, garden, and hardscapes.

When Is Crane-Assisted Tree Removal Necessary?

Not every job requires a crane, but these situations almost always do:

  • The tree is too tall or heavy for traditional climbing or rigging
  • It’s growing in a tight spot between buildings or fences
  • The tree is leaning dangerously or structurally unsound
  • Nearby power lines make climbing unsafe
  • It has storm damage that makes climbing or felling risky

We always assess your property first and recommend crane service only when it’s the best fit for safety and budget.

Is Crane Tree Removal Right for You?

If you’re unsure whether crane-assisted removal is necessary, consider this quick comparison:

Traditional Removal Crane-Assisted Removal
Speed 1-3 days 1 day or less
Safety Higher risk for crew & home Controlled, safer process
Access Limited in tight areas Ideal for narrow or sloped lots
Property Impact Potential lawn damage Minimal lawn disruption

If your property has space constraints or the tree poses a hazard, crane-assisted removal is usually the best long-term value.

Our Crane-Assisted Tree Removal Process

1. On-Site Assessment

We start with a free consultation. Our ISA-Certified Arborists inspect the tree, assess access points, and determine whether crane service is required. We then outline a safe, efficient plan customized to your property.

2. Permits & Planning

Some crane removals require city permits, road closures, or utility coordination. We take care of all the paperwork and coordinate directly with local authorities so you don’t have to.

3. Crane Setup & Safety Prep

Our licensed crane operator and crew arrive with the necessary equipment. We stabilize the crane, lay down ground mats to protect your lawn or driveway, and confirm all OSHA safety procedures are followed.

4. Section-by-Section Removal

The tree is carefully dismantled from the top down. Each piece is secured, cut, and lifted away with the crane to a designated drop zone, where it’s processed safely on the ground.

5. Final Cleanup

After removal, we chip all limbs, cut logs for firewood or hauling, and rake the site clean. We can also grind the stump and prep the area for replanting if needed.

Trees Commonly Removed With Cranes

We regularly remove massive trees that reach heights of 60 to 100+ feet, including:

  • White Pine
  • Red Oak
  • Norway Maple
  • Silver Maple
  • Sycamore
  • Spruce
  • Tulip Poplar

These trees often grow close to homes or in compact backyards, making crane removal the safest approach.
