Storm Damage Crane Removal in Plymouth

We got a call this week from a homeowner in Plymouth after a storm came through and snapped a large limb off of their maple tree, and when we got out there to take a look it was pretty clear that the damage went beyond just the one limb. That's a pretty common story with storm damaged maples — what looks like an isolated break on the surface often reveals a bigger picture of structural compromise once you get up close and really assess what's going on. After talking it through with the homeowners and taking a thorough look at the tree, we all agreed that removing the whole thing was the right call. And given the size of this maple and the position it was sitting in, bringing in a crane was the smartest and safest way to get it done.

Once the crane was on site and the crew was locked in and ready to go, the removal went really smoothly. Working carefully alongside the crane operator, we took the tree down in sections with the crane controlling each piece as it came free, keeping everything safe and away from the surrounding property throughout the whole process. It's always impressive to watch a crane removal come together when the crew is dialed in and communicating well, and this one was a great example of that. By the end of the day the maple was completely down, the debris was hauled away, and the property was left clean and looking great.

Storm damage has a way of sneaking up on you, and what starts as one broken limb can sometimes reveal that a tree is in worse shape than it appeared. If a storm has recently hit a tree on your property and you're not sure how bad the damage really is, give Rooted Treeworks a call and let us come take a look. We'll give you an honest assessment and take care of it the right way — whether that's a simple limb removal or a full crane takedown. We've got you covered either way!
