Tree Removal Techniques We Use
Crane-Assisted Removal
For large trees in confined spaces or near structures, our professional crane operators provide precise control and safety. This method is ideal for:
- Large cottonwoods, oaks, and mature conifers
- Trees close to buildings or power lines
- Hazardous trees that cannot be climbed safely
- Situations requiring precise piece-by-piece removal
Sectional Tree Removal
Our skilled climbers carefully remove trees in sections from top to bottom, perfect for:
- Trees in tight spaces between buildings
- Areas where crane access is limited
- Preservation of surrounding landscape features
- Cost-effective removal of medium-sized trees
Directional Felling
When space permits, we use controlled directional felling for:
- Trees in open areas with adequate fall space
- Rural or agricultural settings
- Large trees where ground access allows
- The most economical removal method
Common Tree Species We Remove in Utah
