Crane Services

Crane Services

When your tree needs a lift—literally. Some trees can't be removed the traditional way—whether they're towering over your roof, wedged between power lines, or planted in that narrow space between houses. When regular equipment can't safely access a tree or the removal zone is too tight for conventional methods, we bring in our crane services to handle the job with precision and care.

Our crane-assisted removals allow us to lift tree sections straight up and away from your property. This isn't just about having bigger equipment—it's about having the expertise to coordinate complex removals that require planning, precision, and the right touch of finesse.

About

How we orchestrate Atlanta's trickiest tree removals

Every crane job is like conducting an orchestra—multiple moving parts that need to work in perfect harmony to protect your property.

Equipment positioning and setup

We carefully position the crane, establish work zones, coordinate with utility companies, and ensure safety protocols are followed before cutting.

A tree worker in safety gear uses a chainsaw to cut a tall tree while secured with ropes. Sawdust sprays into the air against a clear blue sky, and a few leafy branches remain on the tree.

Precision removal and lowering

Our skilled climbers section the tree from top to bottom while the crane operator carefully moves each piece to a landing zone, away from your home.

Complete cleanup

We remove all debris, grind the stump, and restore the area—leaving your property looking like neither a tree nor a crane was ever there.

Why

Knowing when it’s time to call in the cranes

Atlanta's dense neighborhoods and mature tree canopy create situations where traditional tree removal just isn't safe or practical. When a 100-foot pine is growing three feet from your roofline, crane services make the difference between a controlled removal and a potential disaster.

Beyond safety, crane services protect your investment in your property and landscape. By lifting tree sections up and away rather than dropping them down, we remove problematic trees without damaging the healthy plants, hardscaping, or structures you want to keep.

What Atlanta homeowners are saying about our work

Sharon W

From the office staff to salesman Josh and crew, Northside Tree did an excellent job. Not easy taking down trees around the lake but I now have an excellent view! Thank you so much.

Ivy O

Northside did a fantastic job removing a row of dead trees. These trees had dropped multiple limbs over the years, with several having just fallen on my roof. They came out a day early to give me an estimate and beat the three other companies I had also requested estimates from. I was able to get scheduled within a day, and the team they sent out worked safely but quickly. They also left the work area spotless. I would highly recommended this company and am saving their info for my next round of tree work.

I recently hired Northside Tree Professionals to tackle a huge project in my backyard, grinding down and removing wood piles I had been building up for years. Their six-man crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left the yard looking fantastic. They were professional, polite, and cost-effective, which is exactly what you hope for when bringing in a service like this.

Rachel D

Excellent! Professional service from the arborist visit, to the office coordinator to the impressive tree crew! The tree crew guided huge limbs away from our gazebo and other yard fixtures. We had a wonderful experience and will be recommending to others. Thank you!

Mary J

The guys arrived on time, they were polite, and professional. The job was hard. I needed them to take out 8 Leyland Cypresses that were easily 30 feet tall, but the area to drop them was only about 20 feet wide. The guys were impressive! They made each of those trees drop exactly where they wanted them. No damage to my brand new fence that all these trees were within a foot of. I will recommend Northside to anyone looking for a tree service.

Truitt H

They need 6 stars for these guys! Doug came out first to give me a quote, walked the whole property, addressed potential concerns, and was super knowledgeable and friendly. They got the permit quickly and scheduled quickly. Harold and his team came out and we were beyond impressed. Harold had passion and energy about what he does, running to get things done and ALWAYS with a smile on his face. He kept the team moving at an incredibly fast pace but also carefully lowering each piece of the tree to not damage flowers or sprinkler lines. They truly value the customer experience here. I’m a customer for life!

Neil O

I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone needing tree removal, debris clearing, or grinding work. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable tree service, give Northside Tree Professionals a call, you won’t be disappointed!
