These trees were tucked into a very tight space between two buildings with limited access, a steep bank and propane tanks below. We set up our crane on the street and were able to reach over the house, rig sections of the tree and lift them out to the road where the crew could process […]

Handling Difficult Tree Work Safely and Efficiently
A tight-access removal from last week here in the Mad River Valley. These trees were growing on a bank beside a 13 kV utility line, with a propane tank below them on one side and a septic tank and leach field on the other. With very little room to work, careful planning and control were […]
Large Hazard Ash Removal
In October 2024, Whitney Tree Service was called to evaluate a large ash tree growing on a steep bank beside Route 12 in Montpelier, Vermont.

After evaluating the site, we determined that a 90-ton crane would be […]

Residential logging is not for everyone. This job had several large trees in close proximity to two houses and overhead power lines. The trees needed to be pulled with ropes in a safe direction. When we were finished, all of the brush and logs were cleaned up and the site was left nice and neat.
Whitney Tree Service removes hazardous tree with 75 Ton Crane
We hired Hutch Crane to bring in their 75ton crane for this large cottonwood removal. The tree was hollow at the base and leaned toward the house. It was 44″ in diameter, 100′ tall, and estimated to be about 130 years old. If you look closely you can see me dangling from the top of […]
