The Challenge
This was a high-risk removal with multiple environmental and structural challenges. The tree’s size, location near a frozen lake, and limited access made standard removal methods unsafe. Every movement had to be controlled to avoid damage to the property and surrounding systems.
Main Challenges
- 70-foot red oak in a difficult lakeside location
- Partially frozen ground creating unstable working conditions
- Steep slope access for equipment and crane positioning
- Avoiding damage to septic system during operation
“The team was top notch. Led by Floyd, they handled a very difficult 70-foot red oak removal on a partially frozen lake. They brought a crane down a steep slope while avoiding the septic system and removed everything in sections. The crew worked tirelessly all day, grinding everything and leaving the area clean. Friendly and professional. Highly recommend.”

Good to Know
Crane-assisted tree removal is often the safest solution for large trees in difficult or hazardous locations. With the ability to lift and control large sections, it reduces risk to property and allows work to be completed efficiently even in tight or unstable environments. VanGordon Tree & Land Solutions operates a 110 ft crane specifically for these types of jobs.
Our Solution
The crew began by positioning the crane carefully down the slope, ensuring no impact to the septic system. Once in place, the tree was dismantled in sections using crane-assisted lifts, allowing each piece to be safely removed without dropping material on unstable ground.
Sections of the trunk and branches were hauled up the slope and processed efficiently. The stump was ground below grade, and all debris was chipped and cleared from the site. Despite the difficult conditions, the crew maintained control and completed the entire job in one day.
