Safe, Efficient Tree Removal for Large and Difficult Trees
When it comes to removing large trees in Midland and Odessa, Texas, crane-assisted tree removal is often the safest, fastest, and most efficient method available. If you have a large tree growing close to your home, business, power lines, or other structures, traditional tree removal methods may not be the best option.
At Thornton’s Tree Service, we specialize in crane tree removal throughout the Midland-Odessa area and across the Permian Basin. Our crane-assisted removal services allow us to safely remove large or hazardous trees that would otherwise be difficult or dangerous to take down.
Why Use a Crane for Tree Removal?
In many cases, traditional tree removal requires crews to climb the tree and carefully lower limbs using ropes and rigging. While this works in open areas, it can become extremely complicated when a tree is located near structures or in a tight space.
Crane-assisted tree removal allows our crew to lift large sections of the tree straight up and away from surrounding obstacles. This reduces the risk of property damage and allows the job to be completed much more efficiently.
Using a crane for tree removal in Midland or Odessa provides several key advantages:
- Improved safety for both your property and our crew
- Faster removal times compared to traditional tree removal methods
- Safe removal of trees close to homes, garages, fences, and power lines
- Ability to remove extremely large or hazardous trees
- Less impact on your yard and landscaping
In situations where a tree is leaning over a home or growing in a tight backyard, a crane may be the only safe way to remove it.
Removing Large Trees Near Homes and Structures
Many homes in Midland and Odessa have mature trees that were planted decades ago. Over time, these trees can grow very large and begin to crowd homes, fences, or other buildings.
When a tree becomes damaged, diseased, or structurally unsafe, removing it can be a challenge if it’s located close to a structure. That’s where our crane-assisted tree removal services make a huge difference.
Instead of using a manlift and cutting small sections and lowering them slowly with ropes, our crane can lift large sections of the tree and place them safely on the ground where they can be cut up and hauled away. This allows us to remove the tree without risking damage to your roof, fence, driveway, or landscaping.
Faster Tree Removal with Less Property Impact
One of the biggest benefits of crane tree removal is speed and efficiency.
Small tradition tree removal services have trouble in tight areas. The removal can take several days to complete because each branch must be carefully lowered with ropes and rigging. With a crane, large sections can often be removed in a single lift.
In many cases, a job that would normally take two or three days can be completed much safer in just one day with crane assistance.

Testimonial

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.

Wondering about the cost of tree removal services in the Midland – Odessa area?
Tree removal expenses are subject to several variables, and we base our pricing on the amount of time we estimate it will take to complete the job:
1. Proximity to potential hazards, such as buildings and power lines, can affect the cost. Having adequate space to safely lay down the tree typically results in a more economical price compared to the need to climb the tree and dismantle it piece by piece.
2. The tree’s size plays a significant role in determining the price. Larger trees inherently require more time for removal and cleanup, making them more costly than smaller ones.
3. The tree’s health is another consideration. Some trees may be unsafe and it can take extra time to ensure the removal is done properly without portions of a tree falling on an adjacent structure, which can influence the overall price.
