Your Crane Service Questions Answered

When is crane service necessary for tree removal?

Crane service is used when trees are too large, too dangerous, or too close to structures to be removed safely using standard equipment. It allows us to lift and lower large sections with precision.

Do you own your own crane or rent one?

We own and operate our own crane equipment, which means faster response times, lower costs, and full control over safety and scheduling.

How do you protect my property when using a crane?

We use ground protection mats and plan equipment placement carefully to avoid lawn or landscape damage. Our crew is trained in low-impact setups.

Is crane tree removal more expensive than standard removal?

It can be slightly higher due to the complexity, but it’s often more efficient and safer—especially for high-risk or hard-to-reach trees.

Can crane services be used for more than just tree removal?

Yes. We also assist with heavy landscape installations, such as placing large palm trees, boulders, or construction materials.

Are your crane operators certified?

Yes. Our operators are highly experienced and trained in crane operation, rigging, and tree removal techniques.

How long does a crane-assisted removal take?

Many crane-assisted jobs are completed in a single day due to the speed and efficiency of lifting sections versus manual dismantling.

Is a crane always necessary for large tree removal?

Not always. We assess each situation individually. In some cases, rigging and bucket trucks are sufficient. We’ll recommend the safest and most cost-effective approach.

Can you use the crane in tight or hard-to-access spaces?

Yes, but it depends on access and clearance. We’ll evaluate your site and determine the best setup during your estimate.

Do I need a permit for crane access or road use?

In rare cases (such as work near public roads), a permit may be needed. We’ll coordinate that for you if necessary.

What Our Clients Say

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ray with Monkey Business was amazing! He and his team removed a 95ft dead pine tree that was surrounded by other trees without any issues. The whole process was seamless from the initial written quote and timely communication to providing the correct COI coverage before starting. They were professional, affordable, and equipped with the right machinery to handle the job safely. I’m extremely picky about who I hire, and Monkey Business exceeded my high expectations. I highly recommend them for everything from emergency tree removals to ongoing property and business tree maintenance. Truly the best choice out there!"

Jen S

"I received a great quote and it never changed. He came out the next day for quote and showed up with his crew on the scheduled day in the rain. They cut down three trees and not one limb twig or branch was left. We had a large oak tree with branches all under it and they picked them all up. I cannot express enough what a great job they did. The crew was very nice and professional and the finished job was beautiful. Highly recommend and you will not get a better quote."

Amity Mcgee

"Monkey Business was great! They were quick to schedule an estimate and provide me a wide range of tree, landscape and debris removal services.
