Crane tree removal in Fort Wayne, IN
A crane lifts sections over the house, so nothing has to be dropped or dragged through the yard.
Crane tree removal in Fort Wayne
A crane is used when a large or dead tree leans over a house, garage or alley lines and there is no safe drop zone, which is common on Fort Wayne's narrow older lots. Dead ash is a frequent reason, because brittle wood can't safely hold a climber's rigging. Cranes in the street may also need city right-of-way coordination.
When a crane makes sense
- Large trees over a roof
- Dead trees too brittle to climb
- No access for lifts or trucks in the backyard
What to expect
- Street or driveway space for the crane
- Sometimes a street-use permit
- Usually faster, with less lawn damage
