Storm-Damaged Tree Removal With Crane
Crane-assisted removal of storm-damaged and fallen trees — lifting heavy sections up and out instead of dragging them across what they landed on.
Urgent situation? We are on call 24/7.
When a storm brings down large trees, a crane changes the whole job — heavy trunk sections can be lifted straight up and away rather than winched or dragged across a roof, vehicle, or yard.
Elevate provides the crane and rigging to support tree crews on storm-damaged removals, keeping the load controlled from cut to set. For non-storm tree work we also refer to our tree partner.
- Lifting fallen trees off homes and buildings
- Removing hazardous leaning or hung trees
- Sectioning large trunks under control
- Clearing trees from driveways and roads
- Supporting a tree crew's rigging
- Difficult-access removals
Crane-assisted tree work needs room to set up and reach the tree. Storm conditions — soft ground, tangled limbs, nearby power — all factor into the plan. We keep everyone clear of the pick.

Execution & Closeout
We complete the lift, confirm the result, and leave the site clear.
If there is an immediate threat to life, fire, gas leak, or active electrical danger, call 911 and the appropriate utility authority first. Do not enter floodwater, approach downed lines, or stand near unstable structures.
- Stay out from under leaning or hung trees and limbs
- Keep clear of any tree touching or near power lines
- If life is at risk, call 911 and the utility first
- If safe, photograph the tree and what it landed on
- Note access — gate widths, driveway, set-up room
- Keep people and pets away from the work zone
We can work alongside restoration contractors, roofing and demolition crews, adjusters, and property owners, and can support documentation needs during recovery. We do not guarantee insurance coverage or approval — but we can coordinate with your team and provide photos and details of the work performed.

A tree fell on my house — can you get it off safely?
Often the safest method is to lift heavy sections straight up with a crane rather than drag them. Send photos and access details and we will scope it. If anyone is in danger, call 911 first.
What about a tree near or on a power line?
Stay well clear and treat every downed line as energized. Power-line work must be coordinated with the utility. We plan around de-energized, cleared conditions.
Do you do the cutting or just the crane?
We provide the crane and rigging support; a tree crew handles cutting and processing. We can coordinate with your crew or our tree partner.
