What it costs
Typical TN price range
$1500-$5000
Flat quote, no hourly meter, no surprise dump fees.
Crane mobilization adds $500-800 to the base removal cost. Total for large tree with crane: $1,500-3,000. Complex or very large specimen over 80ft: $3,000-5,000. Crane work requires a larger crew and advance scheduling - typically 3-5 business days lead time.
Pricing varies slightly by city. Higher-income suburbs like Brentwood and Franklin tend toward the top of the range because of larger homes and longer driveway access. Lebanon and Gallatin tend toward the bottom. Click your city below for a local quote.
When people call us for this
- Very large tree (80ft+) that cannot be sectioned from ground level safely
- Tree in a tight backyard or courtyard with no room for conventional rigging
- Tree over a pool, deck, greenhouse, or other structure requiring exact placement
- Hurricane-leaning tree that cannot be climbed safely before removal
- Historic or very large diameter tree requiring single-pick removal
Crane tree removal is typically scheduled work, not emergency response - crane mobilization requires 3-5 business day lead time for site assessment and equipment staging. Most crane jobs schedule March through November during dry ground conditions. Winter scheduling is possible but ground bearing capacity must be confirmed to prevent crane tracks from damaging lawns or hardscaping.
What we offer
- - crane mobilization and operator
- - ISA-certified climber coordination with crane operator
- - precise piece-by-piece removal with zero drop risk
- - full debris cleanup and haul-away
- - advance site survey before scheduling
What we cannot handle
- - crane work without advance site assessment (access, ground conditions, and overhead clearances must be confirmed first)
How we handle it
Crane work: Crane work requires a crew of 4-5 and advance scheduling. We assess access route, ground bearing capacity, and overhead clearances before confirming a crane job. Not every large tree needs a crane - we will tell you which approach is right.
