Climbing & Crane-Assisted Tree Removals in Waconia, MN
Safe, Skilled Tree Removals in Hard-to-Reach Areas
Not all trees can be tackled from the ground. Some are too tall, too close to structures, or located in tight spaces that equipment can’t reach. That’s where MN Tree Boss comes in — with expert climbing and crane-assisted tree removal services designed for the toughest jobs.
Serving Waconia and the Twin Cities metro, we remove trees in challenging locations with maximum safety and efficiency. From backyard removals to storm-damaged giants, we have the gear, skills, and training to get it done right.
Removing the stump not only improves safety but also increases property value and makes room for your next landscaping project.
Common Problems with Leftover Stumps:
When You Need Advanced Tree Removal
Standard tree removals are done at ground level or with a bucket truck. But when obstacles, height, or safety risks come into play, advanced techniques are required.
You may need climbing or crane-assisted tree removal if:
The tree is too close to a home, garage, or power line
There’s no equipment access (e.g., fences, narrow yards)
The tree is too tall or hazardous to dismantle from the ground
It's storm-damaged and unstable
You want minimal impact to landscaping or hardscape
At MN Tree Boss, we don’t guess — we plan. Every complex removal starts with a site assessment and safety plan.
Our Tree Climbing & Crane Removal Methods
We customize our approach based on the site, size, and structure of the tree:
Technical Climbing & Rigging
Our trained climbers use harnesses, ropes, and rigging systems to ascend and dismantle trees in sections. This method is ideal for trees in tight backyards or surrounded by fencing and landscaping.
Crane-Assisted Tree Removal
For oversized or risky trees, we partner with crane operators to lift entire sections of the tree straight up and away from your property. It’s the safest and most efficient method for removing large trees near homes or power lines.
Controlled Drop Zones & Clean-Up
Whether we use a crane or climb by hand, our team always sets clear drop zones, protects surrounding structures, and hauls away debris — leaving your yard spotless.
