CRANE SUPPORT FOR TREE WORK & HEAVY LIFTS

Crane Services for Tree Removal, Pole Barns & More

Some projects require more reach, control, and lifting power than standard equipment can provide. American Family Tree & Crane Service offers crane services for large tree removals, pole barn construction, trusses, building materials, equipment, and other heavy lifting needs.

Owner and operator Greg Bayard works directly with homeowners, contractors, builders, and property managers to understand the lift and determine the right approach. With more than 26 years in business, our team brings practical experience and careful planning to every job.

Careful Lifting Starts With Clear Communication

Crane work requires more than lifting an object from one place to another. The surrounding property, available access, weight and size of the material, and final placement all need to be considered before work begins.

Greg communicates directly with customers and contractors to understand the project, answer questions, and coordinate the lift. This hands-on approach helps everyone know what to expect before the crane arrives and while the work is underway.

American Family Tree & Crane Service is a licensed and insured, locally owned company with more than 26 years in business. Our 4.9-star Google rating reflects the responsive service, careful work, and straightforward communication customers have come to expect.

We had a dying a 60ft cottonwood removed safely from the back of our yard. The gentlemen were quick to respond to our phone call and booking us a time just 2 days later. They were on time, prepared and efficient (1.5 hrs, including the friendly cleanup). We couldn't be happier with their service. They also followed up with a phone call to ensure we were happy the next day! A++ business! Keep up the great work and service!

We have had work done by this team twice now and have been very satisfied with their work. They are careful about surrounding structures/gardens and clean the yard up so nice! Very reliable and blows other quotes out of the water. Thank you!

Highly recommend Greg and his crew! Amazing work!! They arrived on time, quickly and efficiently completed my entire yard and removed all the debris. I moved into my house this spring and quickly realized my backyard was a Jungle! Greg was the first tree servicer to answer the phone, first one to make it to my house and after 5+ estimates his company was by FAR the most affordable option! Greg and his crew carefully removed multiple spruce trees, an elm, a mulberry tree, trimmed down my shrubbery jungle and removed some pretty dangerous dead wood from 3 very large cottonwood trees on my property in record time. Clean up was completed beautifully! I am still in awe of the transformation!

Greg and team did an excellent job taking down two large trees and grinding several stumps. He was very responsive, which is very important to us. Afterwards, the yard and clean up work was extremely impressive. I will definitely use them again and absolutely recommend American Family Tree Service!

Crane Support Planned Around Your Project

Every lift presents different challenges. Some require reaching over a structure, while others involve moving long, heavy, or difficult-to-handle materials into a precise location. Greg will review the project and coordinate a crane setup suited to the work and site conditions.

We provide crane services for tree projects, construction work, property improvements, and other situations where safe, controlled lifting is needed. Our goal is to help make the work more manageable while protecting nearby buildings, landscaping, equipment, and people.

Call or text Greg to explain what needs to be lifted, where it needs to go, and what access is available at the site.
