Assess the tree and targets
Condition, broken sections, lean, loading, nearby structures, utilities, roads, and occupied areas affect sequencing.

Lewiston crane-removal guide
A crane-assisted removal needs a complete lift and site plan.
Crane selection is only one part. Setup area, ground conditions, reach, load path, rigging, utilities, traffic, structures, weather, crew coordination, and debris handling all matter.
Professional planning
Four factors that shape the response
Verify access and setup
Gate width, overhead clearance, slopes, underground concerns, ground bearing, outriggers, reach, and traffic control shape feasibility.
Plan pieces and load path
A qualified team determines cut sequence, rigging, load estimates, communication, landing zone, and how pieces leave the site.
Coordinate closeout
Clarify debris, logs, stump height, raking, surface protection, repairs, crane-related exclusions, and final access.
