Spring storms bring down trees, block roads, and create situations that demand precision, speed, and the right equipment. This was the case in Chattanooga, TN, when a mature hardwood tree fell across a narrow roadway.
The tree’s size and weight made it impossible to move without specialized equipment. Tree Worx was ready to put its tree removal experience to work.

- Client Preferences: In the spring, the client wanted the crew to remove a large mature hardwood tree that had fallen and blocked a narrow roadway without damaging the surrounding trees and roadside. Limited workspace required the crew to use a crane truck for tree removal. They lifted and removed large sections to complete the job safely and efficiently, clearing the roadway and restoring safe access.
Tight Quarters and Heavy Timber Call for Hazardous Tree Removal Expertise
The Tree Worx crew evaluated the site and determined that crane-assisted tree removal was the safest path forward. The fallen tree stretched the full width of the road and then some. Surrounding trees crowded both sides, leaving no room for conventional removal methods. Using a crane truck, large sections were lifted and removed in a controlled sequence.
The team cut the hardwood into pieces and used the crane to lift each section up and over the surrounding canopy. The entire process took six hours, as each cut and lift had to account for balance, weight distribution, and the integrity of any nearby trees. Lifting sections of the tree vertically rather than dragging them across the ground minimized impact on the surrounding environment. This approach also reduced the risk of additional obstruction or property damage.
Results That Restore Access and Peace of Mind
By the end of the job, the roadway was clear, the property was accessible again, and not a single surrounding tree had a scratch on it.
When storm damage cleanup demands precision tree removal in challenging conditions, having a crew with the right equipment and the experience to use it makes all the difference. Tree Worx completed the work safely and efficiently, proving that even the toughest tree maintenance situations have workable solutions.
