When it comes to removing large trees in tight spots in San Angelo – like right next to a house or other structure – using a crane isn’t just helpful, it’s often the safest and most efficient way to get the job done.
Here in West Texas, traditional tree removal methods can run into trouble when space is limited. Sure, you can use ropes, rigging, ado a lot of physical tree climbing and do careful cuts – but when a big tree is leaning over a roof or wedged between buildings, that kind of setup can get complicated fast (and risky).
That’s where the crane comes in. With crane-assisted tree removal here at Thornton’s Tree Service, we’re able to lift sections of the tree straight up and away, avoiding nearby obstacles and reducing the risk of damage. It’s faster, safer, and much easier on your property.
In some cases, especially when a tree has grown right up against a structure, a crane really is the only practical and safe option. So if you’ve got a tricky tree situation, give us a call – we’ve got the equipment and the experience to handle it the right way.
We recently got a call from a homeowner who was worried about several large pecan trees in her backyard. They were big, tucked back behind the house, and not exactly easy to get to.<
Thanks to one of our cranes, we were able to safely lift out large sections of the trees and set them down in the street where we could cut them up and haul everything off—without tearing up her yard or spending days doing it.
If we’d used the old-school ropes and rigging method, it would’ve taken 2-3 days. But with the crane, we knocked it out in just one. Fast, efficient, and affordable – that’s how we do it.
This kind of job is what we handle every day across West Texas. So if you’ve got a tricky tree situation, give us a shout – we’ve got you covered.

We had two huge damaged pecan trees removed by Thornton’s Tree Service. It was fascinating watching the skill and care which the crew worked but just as fascinating seeing how clean they left our yard. This company is totally professional and would recommend them if you want excellent service.

How We Price Tree Removal (And What You Should Know)
Tree removal isn’t one-size-fits-all, and pricing can vary depending on a few key things. At Thornton’s Tree Service, we base our estimates on how long we think the job will take—simple as that.
Here’s what can affect the price:
1. Space & Safety: If we’ve got room to safely bring the tree down in one piece, the job tends to be quicker and more affordable. But if the tree is close to your house, power lines, or other obstacles, we may need to climb and take it down section by section—which takes more time.
2. Tree Size: No surprise here—bigger trees usually cost more to remove. They take longer to cut, haul off, and clean up.
3. Tree Health: Dead or damaged trees can be unpredictable. If a tree is unstable, we have to take extra care during removal to avoid anything falling the wrong way. That added time can influence the final cost.
