Any tree removal in a residential area has its challenges. But for one Green Hills, TN, project, the tree removal crew had to work in an especially confined space to remove a large oak tree that was encroaching on the client’s home and driveway. Limited access to the work area meant that crane-assisted tree removal was the best call to ensure that the project went off without causing any damage.

- Client Preferences: Franklin Tree Service completed the crane-assisted removal of a large oak tree located close to the client’s home and driveway during the summer season. Due to limited working space and the surrounding wooded area, the crew used specialized equipment and carefully coordinated each lift to safely remove sections of the tree without damaging the property or nearby vehicles. Extra precautions were taken throughout the project to maintain a safe and controlled work environment from start to finish.

Why Conventional Removal Methods Wouldn’t Work for This Oak
Homeowners often worry about collateral damage, such as scraped siding and crushed landscaping, during tree maintenance work, including tree trimming and removal. The Franklin Tree Service took deliberate steps to prevent that from happening.
Because the tree was so close to the home’s exterior and a paved driveway and was surrounded by a wooded area, the crew had limited room to work. One miscalculated cut could send debris crashing down, so crane-assisted sectional removal was the only responsible course of action.
Using this method, the crew worked in sections, first removing large limbs and then carefully rigging and lifting large portions of the oak tree away from the property. Specialized equipment allowed the team to maneuver heavy limbs and trunk sections without dropping debris. The result was an intact property and a clean site.
