Access is the whole job

Most backyard quotes get expensive because the equipment cannot reach the tree — so the plan becomes a crane over the roof or a section of fence on the ground. A tracked spider lift removes that problem entirely: it fits standard gates, climbs modest grades, and elevates a stable work platform right where the arborist needs it.

Why homeowners book us

33-inch gate access

Stowed width fits a standard garden gate, so no fence panels come off and no premium access charge appears on the quote.

Zero lawn & paver damage

Rubber tracks plus wide outrigger pads spread the load across turf, interlock and septic beds.

82-foot working height

Up to 82 ft of vertical reach and roughly 40 ft of lateral outreach for canopies a bucket truck can never touch.

Safe high-reach pruning

Precise positioning above decks, pools and sunrooms means controlled cuts instead of improvised rigging.

Ground pressure, side by side

Load spread on turf

Rubber tracks and wide outrigger pads spread the machine's weight, keeping ground pressure low enough to drive across a lawn without rutting.

How the job runs

STEP 01

Gate measure

We confirm 33 inches of clear gate width and a firm route to the work zone.

STEP 02

Track-in

The lift walks in on rubber tracks — no crane over the roof, no fence panels removed.

STEP 03

Outrigger setup

Wide load-spreading pads distribute weight so lawns, pavers, and septic beds stay intact.

STEP 04

Aerial work

Stable elevated platform for removals, pruning, and storm cleanup in confined yards.

Local municipal compliance

Where street access is restricted or road occupancy permits are needed, we coordinate directly with municipal works departments.

A maple split over our garage at 11pm. The crew had the limb secured before midnight and the whole tree gone the next morning. Calm, insured, and no damage to the roof.

Two other companies said they'd need a crane on the street. These folks tracked a lift through the side gate on mats and left the lawn untouched. Genuinely impressive.

They measured the trunk, wrote the arborist report and dealt with the town for me. Permit approved in three weeks and the removal was booked the same week.
