Crane Tree Removal for Difficult Locations
Some trees simply don't have a safe place to fall. They may be close to a house, over a pool, beside a fence, or surrounded by other obstacles.
Our 45-ton National crane, with a 127-foot boom, gives us the reach and lifting capacity to handle many difficult-access removals. When appropriate, we can set up on the road and lift sections of the tree out and away from surrounding structures, rather than bringing the tree down toward them.
Our experienced crew plans each crane removal carefully, taking into account the tree, the property, and the available access. When equipment needs to travel across grass, we use lawn protection mats whenever appropriate to help protect your property.
Wondering if your tree is a good candidate for crane removal? Give us a call and we'll send someone out to take a look and talk through your options.
Tree Removal in Rhode Island - Our Expertise
Tree removal is a large part of what we do, and we've built our business around handling removals safely, efficiently, and with care for your property.
Our crew regularly works with:
When a tree can't safely be cut down using traditional methods, our equipment and experienced crew give us other options. We plan the work carefully, remove the tree in manageable sections when needed, and haul the material away when we're finished.
For many customers, the job doesn't end with the tree. We can also grind the stump as part of the project, so you can take care of both without coordinating a separate service.
And if removal isn't necessary, we'll tell you. Our goal is to recommend the work that's right for your tree and your property.

I was happy and relieved to see the job so well done and professionally cleaned up! The new owner who's name is Mark greeted me on the job site with a warm and friendly handshake and introduced himself politely and professionally and i instantly felt a good vibe from meeting him! I would recommend Mike's Tree Service to anyone who is looking for a professional tree service company. The entire crew who performed the service was extremely polite and courteous too! Great job to everyone involved! Thank you very much!
Mike’s Pro Trees simply the best.
I had to remove a 5 very large 100 year old trees from difficult spots due to my house, neighbors, fences, pool and wires which meant a crane was needed to bring the trees over my house and wires.
Mike’s was on time for the estimate and was perfect on price. From estimate to removal less than 1 week.
The removal crew, which are fabulous, arrived on schedule with the crane, bucket truck, climbers and other needed equipment.
In a matter of hours the trees were gone and the area cleaned up of debris.
I’m amazed at the efficiency and extremely happy with the complete care provided by Mike’s.
No reason to call any other tree company and if you do you’ll be disappointed.
I’m more than satisfied.
Steve Riley
We had two trees that needed to come down. One had become an issue with branches falling due to the weight of snow. The other, growing over and too close to the house. Mark and his co-worker gave us a price for both including stump removal. Due to their proximity it was necessary to raise the sections very high in the air. The men worked in unison, methodically and with safety to take down the probably 40’ trees. The branches were mulched immediately with the large pieces stacked safely. They were gone the following day. A week later the stumps were gone and the areas cleared and cleaned. I have worked with other tree services personally and professionally. One I won’t mention the others professional and complete. Mike’s Professional Tree Service is by far the best. We wholeheartedly recommend Mike’s. Mark has my phone number and I am willing to speak with a perspective client.
Mike’s Professional Tree Service did an excellent job. The tree removal was smooth, fast, and very professional from start to finish. The stump removal was also done perfectly—you honestly can’t even tell there was ever a tree there.
The price was very reasonable, and the staff was friendly and professional throughout the process.
Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend!
