Crane Tree Removal done right in Greenville
Established Greenville neighborhoods are shaded by some of the largest oaks and poplars in the Upstate, often planted tight against century-old homes. Removing them safely takes a crane, climbing skill, and rigging — exactly the work we specialize in.
Greenville's established streets off Augusta Road and North Main are shaded by some of the Upstate's largest oaks and poplars, often planted tight against century-old homes with no room to fell. We position the Palfinger crane in the drive or street and pick each section over the roofline, lowering it to the grapple truck instead of rigging it down piece by piece. That reach is what lets us take a declining hardwood off a tight city lot safely.
We cover every corner of Greenville, from North Main and Augusta Road to Overbrook and the areas around Falls Park on the Reedy and Paris Mountain — neighborhoods and properties we know well and reach quickly for crane tree removal.

Greenville's established neighborhoods have large oaks, maples, and poplars growing close to homes built decades ago, often with brick, slate, or original details that are costly to repair. We rig and lower limbs piece by piece rather than felling toward the structure, and we can fly larger sections out with our Palfinger crane when access allows. That keeps the load off the house and off your landscaping.
Yes. Many Greenville lots are tight, with the street, sidewalk, and neighboring homes all within a few feet of the tree. We rope down limbs in small pieces, set up controlled drop zones, and stage our chip and dump trucks to keep the work area contained. We carry $2M in liability insurance and workers' comp, so the people and property around the job are covered.
We do. Our Bandit chippers process brush on-site and our chip and dump trucks carry the wood and debris away the same day in most cases. We can also leave firewood-length rounds stacked if you'd like to keep them. Either way, the yard is raked and cleaned before we leave.
A crane lifts heavy sections straight up and away instead of dropping or roping them down, which is far safer near houses and power lines, much faster, and far gentler on your yard.
Yes — trees over and against structures are exactly what the crane is for. We lift each section away from the roof under full control, with nothing falling on your home.
