How Spruce Up Tree Care’s Team Performed Aerial Tree Removal
Large tree dismantling and removal is always a challenge, but for this project, the location of the tree required an extra-careful approach. The tree’s height necessitated a crane-assisted removal; however, transporting the equipment to the tree posed some challenges.

The tree’s position within the client’s expansive yard necessitated bringing the truck and crane to it, navigating through the yard and other landscaping. Getting close enough to dismantle the tree meant driving across the grass through a manicured flower bed. Spruce Up Tree Care took extra precautions to protect the lawn, plantings, and other trees, removing the hazardous tree without causing any additional problems.
The Professional Crew Created a Safer, Cleaner Yard in Memphis
Because Spruce Up Tree Care took steps to protect the client’s property, they were able to efficiently and safely remove the tree without any problems. The crane provided extra support to the limbs and trunk sections as the crew removed them, then safely lowered the heavy pieces into the drop area. The ground crew then took care of disposing of these pieces.
Once the crane-assisted tree removal process was complete, the crew then fully ground the remaining stump into mulch and hauled away the debris. The homeowner was left with a clean and level yard that they can now use for future landscaping purposes. By prioritizing the homeowner’s desire to protect the rest of their yard and tree removal safety, Spruce Up Tree Care successfully removed a dangerous tree, alleviating concerns about its risk to the property and people.
