Tree removal, from the simple drop to the lift over the house
Four kinds of calls, one crew. Pick the one that sounds like your tree, or call and we will sort it out with you.
Tree removal
Dead, leaning, storm-damaged or simply in the way. Out in sections, hauled away, yard left clean.
Hazardous tree removal
Trees over a house, a pool, a driveway or a power line need a plan and the right machine.
Emergency storm tree removal
A tree on the roof or across the driveway. Start with what to do first, then call.
Crane-assisted tree removal
Sections lifted up and over the house, fence or pool instead of dropped near them.
Stump grindingGround below grade, on the same visit if you like.
Land clearingResidential and commercial lots, cleared with the excavator.
Keep the room under it clear and stay out from under it. Do not park beneath it.
Crane, backyard lift and the equipment for tree removal
These are the machines that do the work. Say what is in the way and we send the right ones.
01Crane
Lifts big sections up and over a roof, fence or pool so they never drop near them.
02Backyard lift
A tracked lift that reaches the tree where no truck can drive. Up to 100 feet.
03Skid steer
Grapple on the front. Moves logs and brush off the lawn fast.
04Excavator
Clears lots, pulls what has to come out of the ground and loads the trailer.
05Chipper
Brush goes in one end and chips come out the other, loaded straight into the truck.
- 06
Stump grinder
Takes the stump down below grade. Small enough to fit through a 36-inch gate.
Not sure what your tree needs? Call and we will talk it through.
The tree comes out in pieces. The roof stays in one.
Dropping a big tree only works when there is room to drop it. Over a house, a pool, a fence or a neighbor's yard there is not. A crane takes the weight, so each section is lifted clear instead of falling near what you care about.
- Trees over a house, garage, pool or fence
- Yards too tight or too soft for a truck to get close
- Big trunks where each section is heavy
- Fewer people on the ground, so less damage to the lawn
Four steps, start to finish
Every crane removal follows the same order, whether the tree is over a pool or at the end of the driveway.
- 1Plan
We walk the tree and the yard with you, decide where the crane or lift sets up and what has to be protected, and give you a written estimate first.
- 2Set up
The machine is set. Each section is secured to the crane before it is cut, so it never free-falls.
- 3Cut and lift
Sections come off from the top down and are lifted up and over the house, fence or pool to a clear spot.
- 4Clear
Brush through the chipper, wood hauled or cut up the way you want it, yard raked and left clean. Stump too, if you ask.

What people ask before they call
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?
Get everyone out of the area under and around the tree, and stay away from any wire the tree is touching. If a wire is down, sparking or touching the tree, call 911 and your electric utility first. Then call us at (860) 877-5803. Our guide on what to do when a tree falls on your house walks through it step by step.
The tree is leaning toward my house but has not come down. What now?
Call us. Keep the room under it clear, stay out from under it, and do not park beneath it. We look at the tree and tell you how we would take it down. See hazardous tree removal and our guide on leaning trees.
Can you remove a tree that is over my house or pool?
Yes. That is what the crane is for. Each section is secured to the crane before it is cut, then lifted up and over the house, fence or pool and set down somewhere clear. See crane-assisted tree removal.
How much does tree removal cost?
It depends on the size and condition of the tree, what is under and around it, how we can reach it, and how much has to be hauled away. We give free estimates, in writing, before any work starts. Our guide to what drives the cost of tree removal explains each factor.
Do you answer calls for emergencies?
Yes. Emergency calls are answered any time. Call first, and we will tell you how soon we can be there. After-hours work may cost more, and we give you the price before work starts. Office hours are Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm.
Are you insured?
Yes. USA Tree Experts is fully insured. Certificate of insurance (COI) on request, with your estimate.
Do you work on condos, HOA grounds and business properties?
Yes. Several trees on one property are handled in one visit with one estimate, and we plan around parking, walkways and building access. See condos, HOAs and business properties and land clearing.
Do you grind the stump and haul everything away?
Yes. We chip the brush, haul away the wood and debris, and can grind the stump on the same visit. See stump grinding.
