Complex Tree Removal & Lawn Protection for Melanie
Removal of a large, difficult tree; stump grinding in Gainesville, FL
Introduction
Melanie Harris had a problem tree. Big one. Positioned in the worst possible spot near her house. She knew it needed removal but understood this wasn’t a simple job. Wanted a crew that could handle complex work safely, keep her informed throughout, and wouldn’t tear up her property in the process.
We told her we could do it.
Project Summary
Location: Gainesville, FL
Service: Removal of a large, difficult tree; stump grinding
Equipment Used: Crane, bucket truck, chainsaws, rigging gear, chipper, dump truck, protective mats
Crew: Owner-operated crew with multiple trained workers
Completion Time: One day
The Challenge
This tree’s location was brutal. Sandwiched near a fence and garden beds. Size made standard removal methods impossible – we needed crane assistance to get it out safely.
Main Challenge
- Getting a crane and bucket truck into tight residential space without destroying anything.
- Controlling massive trunk sections as we cut and lowered them.
- Protecting Melanie’s lawn and landscaping from start to finish.
“A very difficult tree removal was done carefully, professionally, and safely. Great communication throughout the process. Pricing was fair. Their work ethic and attention to detail was extraordinary. Highly recommend Tree Magician.”— Melanie Harris, North Central Florida Homeowner
Good to Know
Some tree removals demand cranes. No way around it.
- This equipment lets us lift heavy sections over houses or fences without causing damage. Makes the job safer and faster when trees are positioned badly.
Our Solution
Step 1
Started by evaluating the site. Figured out equipment needs. Secured permits. Scheduled crane delivery.
Step 2
On job day, we laid mats everywhere equipment would travel. Set up rigging systems to control descent. Used the crane and bucket truck together to remove the tree in controlled segments – lifting sections over structures instead of dropping them and hoping nothing broke
Step 3
Ground the stump afterward. Chipped all debris. Left Melanie’s yard cleaner than we found it.
