Crane-Assisted Tree Removal in Eastern Connecticut

Some trees can’t be climbed or dropped safely — the ones hanging over your house, your pool, or a tight backyard with no room to work. Our crane-assisted removal service lifts those trees out piece by piece, up and over the roof, and sets each piece down in one work zone. The tree comes out over the top, so nothing drags across your lawn: zero lawn disturbance. No swinging loads over your home, no damage to your yard, and most crane jobs are done in hours instead of days.

1. We set the crane up on mats, so your driveway and lawn are protected.
2. Each section of the tree is rigged, cut, and lifted clear — over the house when that’s the only way out.
3. Pieces are lowered into one work zone, where our grapple truck and 20-inch chipper make them disappear fast.
4. We clean up like we were never there — except the tree is gone.

• Zero lawn disturbance: the crane never drives across your lawn and nothing is dragged over it — the tree leaves by air.
• Trees over houses, additions, pools, and septic systems
• Dead, cracked, or storm-damaged trees too dangerous to climb
• Tight backyards a bucket truck can’t reach
• Trees hung up or leaning after a storm
• Big trees that would take days to take down piece by piece by hand

Crane work is only as good as the crew and machines around it. Every Elliott crane job runs with our 105 ft double elevator bucket truck, our 82 ft tracked lift for backyards trucks can’t reach, a 20-inch Bandit Intimidator chipper (most companies run 12-inch chippers — ours eats big limbs whole), and our GiANT grapple loader, which moves logs and brush across your lawn with zero lawn damage.

Every lift is planned before the crane rolls in — pick weights, reach, ground conditions, and power line clearances. The work is directed by a licensed Connecticut arborist. For every crane job, we bring in a licensed Connecticut crane operator — that’s who runs the lift. Fully insured. CT Arborist License #PMCS.0066329 — ask any tree company for their license number; ours is right here.
