What we do
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation estimate. We match the method to the situation - crane, rigging, or sectional take-down - not the other way around.

View serviceWhy choose us
Tree removal is heavy equipment and tight margins. We built our reputation on the two things that matter: nothing gets damaged, and nobody gets hurt.
60-ton crane, bucket truck, chippers and tracked loaders - all owned and maintained in-house. No rented gear, no third-party delays.
ISA-trained climbers, OSHA-compliant site setup, daily equipment inspections. Zero at-fault property damage claims in over a decade.
Based in North Haven, we reach most towns in 20-40 minutes. Emergency crews roll 24/7, not "next business day."
We live in the same neighborhoods we serve. Our name and our license number are on every job - and we stand behind both.
How it works
Call or send photos. We assess access, lean, size and hazards, then give you a firm written price - no surprises on the invoice.
We mark utilities, lay protective mats on lawns and driveways, and set up exclusion zones. OSHA-compliant, every single job.
Crane for reach, rigging for tight spots, sectional for leaners. The plan is set before the first cut - no improvisation at height.
Wood, brush and chips disappear the same day. We rake, blow and sweep - the yard looks better than when we arrived.
Add stump grinding, mulch delivery or firewood splitting to leave nothing behind but a clean, ready-to-use space.
Service area
Based in North Haven, CT, we respond across New Haven County and into the Quinnipiac and Naugatuck valleys. Most jobs are a 20-40 minute drive from our yard.
Reviews
"A 70-foot oak hung over our garage and the roofline. The crane crew lifted it out in sections like it was nothing - not one shingle touched. Yard was spotless when they left."
"After the microburst, a maple was on our driveway and leaning on the porch. They answered at 9 PM, were out by 11, and had the tree off the house by morning. Unreal response."
"Our lot is tight - maybe 8 feet between the house and the fence. They rigged a dying silver maple down in pieces without touching anything. Professional from estimate to cleanup."
"Three dying pines removed, stumps ground, and they delivered 4 yards of mulch the same week. One crew, one invoice, everything handled. Fair price, no upsell."
"They showed up with a 10-page site plan for a tree next to our power lines. United Illuminating even complimented the clearance they left. That level of prep is rare."
"Our second time using them - first was the house, then the rental property. Same crew leader both times, same careful work. That consistency is why we keep calling."

FAQ
Most residential removals in our area land between $500 and $3,500, but the price depends on size, access, lean, and whether power lines or structures are involved. Every estimate is free, written, and no-obligation - call (203) 123-4567 and we will quote it over the phone or on site.
Yes - that is our specialty. Trees near structures, utility lines and fences are exactly when you want a crane or rigging crew instead of a "drop it and hope" outfit. We work with the utility company where line clearance is involved and coordinate safety zones before any cut.
Fully. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance, our climbers train to ISA standards, and every site runs OSHA-compliant. Ask for our certificate of insurance - any legit crew will hand it over before the first cut.
Our emergency line is answered 24/7. For life-safety situations - trees on homes, cars or blocking driveways - we dispatch the same day, often within a couple of hours across the North Haven area. Cleanup and full removals are scheduled right behind the emergency work.
The crane's boom reaches over the tree, a rigging crew attaches a sling, and the crane lifts each cut section away - nothing falls, nothing swings into the house. It is the fastest and safest way to remove large trees in tight yards, and it usually means less ground damage than any other method.
Yes. Wood can be split and left for firewood, hauled away, or chipped on site. We rake and sweep the work area before we leave. Stump grinding and mulch delivery are add-on options if you want the site completely finished.
Always. Free written estimates, no obligation, no pressure. We serve a 25-mile radius around North Haven - if you are in any of the towns on our service area page, we can come look at the tree and give you a firm number.
Free estimates
Send a photo of the tree and we will often quote it without a site visit. Either way, the estimate is free and the price we quote is the price you pay.
