Our Crane Assisted Tree Removal process.
Crane & rigging plan
We assess access, set-up space, and load paths, then engineer a lift plan for a safe, efficient removal.
Crane set-up
The crane is positioned and stabilised; pick points are rigged so each section is lifted, not dropped.
Aerial sectioning
Large or hazardous sections are cut and craned out over obstacles, protecting your home, pool, or landscaping.
Ground processing
Sections are lowered to a staging area, processed, and hauled; the site is left clean.

Crane work in Bogart is usually for loblolly pine, water oak and white oak that have outgrown a tight lot or failed in severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Spring and summer storms are the main cause of limb failure and uprooting. A street set-up in Bogart may need sign-off from City of Bogart Planning & Development. Trees in street rights-of-way are public property. Late fall through winter (November-February) is best: hardwoods are dormant and leafless, oaks are pruned safely, and firm ground minimizes lawn damage from equipment.
Weather & timing
- Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes Spring and summer storms are the main cause of limb failure and uprooting
- Tropical storm remnants Helene (Sept 2024) brought hurricane-force gusts to the Athens area and downed thousands of trees
- Ice storms Periodic winter ice (e.g. 2014) loads pines and Bradford pears to failure
- Drought on clay soils Repeated droughts stress oaks and pines, inviting beetles and canker
Best time: Late fall through winter (November-February) is best: hardwoods are dormant and leafless, oaks are pruned safely, and firm ground minimizes lawn damage from equipment.
Permits & rules in Bogart
No private-property tree removal permit requirement was found in Bogart's code: the 2024 Unified Development Code addresses trees only through Article 8 (landscape, buffer and tree-protection plans tied to development and new-construction building permits) and Sec. 342 (commercial timbering allowed only as a bona fide agricultural activity), so a homeowner can generally remove a tree on their own lot without a city permit. There is no grand/specimen-tree size threshold in the city code. Trees in street rights-of-way are public property.
Storm debris: The city offers free pickup of naturally fallen limbs and yard debris for residents (piles up to 6 x 6 x 4 ft, limbs up to roughly 5-6 in. diameter, one 3/4-ton truckload; call 678-425-4184) but will not haul material cut by a homeowner or a tree company.
City of Bogart Planning & Development (city inspections handled by Oconee County Planning & Code Enforcement, 706-769-3907) ↗Trees we see most in Bogart
- Loblolly pine Dominant Piedmont pine; shallow-rooted, tall and prone to snapping or uprooting in wind and bark-beetle attack
- Water oak Fast-growing yard oak that declines after 60-80 years; hollow trunks and limb drop are common removal reasons
- White oak Long-lived native; valuable to keep, so pruning and root-zone protection matter more than removal
- Tulip poplar Very tall, weak-wooded hardwood on moist sites; sheds large limbs in storms
- Sweetgum Common volunteer on red clay; surface roots and spiky gumballs drive many removal requests
- Bradford/Callery pear Overplanted suburban tree with weak branch unions; splits apart in ice and wind and is now invasive
