Crane-Assisted Large Eucalyptus Removal

A large mature eucalyptus on a residential property in Western Sydney needed to come down after the canopy had become unsafe over a backyard patio. Standard sectional felling would have meant dragging heavy trunk sections through mature garden beds, so we scheduled a truck-mounted Hiab crane to lift the cuts out cleanly — protecting the landscaping and halving the on-site time.

The crew rigged each trunk section, cut above the sling, and the crane swung the timber onto the flatbed in a single lift. Wood chips and smaller brush went through our chipper in parallel, and the property was raked and cleared the same afternoon.

Crane-assist is the right call for any tree over residential structures, tight side-access sites, or mature gardens you can’t walk heavy timber out of. We quote it in routinely — the day rate is often cheaper than the landscape repair bill from a rigging-only removal.
