Most Spokane tree services top out around 60-foot trees in open yards. We routinely remove 90- to 120-foot ponderosa pines over occupied homes, massive river-bottom cottonwoods, and historic Spokane oaks where one wrong move costs $50,000 in damage. Different equipment, different crew, different game.
- Crane-assisted removals up to 120+ feet
- Sectional rigging for trees over occupied structures
- Multiple climbers + groundsmen on every big-tree job
- Permits, insurance certificates, and HOA approval handled
- Engineering assessment for trees touching utilities or right-of-way
- Straight answers on big trees — we won't ghost you
Spokane's Biggest Common Trees
South Hill ponderosa pines: 80–110 feet, 30–48 inch diameter, often planted 1900–1940. Riverfront cottonwoods (Spokane River, Little Spokane): up to 130 feet, 60+ inch diameter, brittle wood, drop massive limbs. Historic Browne's Addition / Logan oaks: 80–100 feet, dense wood, decay common at old wounds. Each requires a different rigging approach.
Why Crane Removal is Often the Right Choice
On a true monster tree, crane removal is often SAFER and CHEAPER than climbing. The crane lifts cut sections up and away from the structure instead of relying on rigging that could shock-load. Total time on a 100-foot crane removal is often 4–6 hours vs 2–3 days of climbing. We bring the right size crane based on tree weight and reach requirements.
What 'Big Tree' Pricing Looks Like in Spokane
100-foot ponderosa, open yard, easy access: $3,500–$5,500. Same tree over a house with crane: $5,500–$9,000. Massive cottonwood near power lines: $7,000–$15,000+. We give a firm written quote after on-site assessment — no 'maybe' pricing on big trees.
Why We Get the Refusals
Big-tree removal requires equipment, insurance, and crew depth that small Spokane companies don't have. Our general liability insurance policy specifically covers crane operations and over-structure work, our climbers train to ANSI Z133 standards for technical removals, and we can put 5+ trained crew on a single job. That's why insurance adjusters and other tree services refer the scary jobs to us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really remove a tree taller than my house?
Yes — that's most of what we do. Spokane has thousands of trees taller than the houses they're next to. With proper rigging and crane support, even 120-foot trees come down safely in pieces.
How long does a big-tree removal take?
Most large removals are completed in one full day with the right equipment. Very large or complex jobs (multiple trees, tight access, heavy debris) may take 2 days.
Is my homeowner's insurance involved?
If the tree is hazardous and damaging or threatening a structure, often yes. We handle the documentation and can speak directly with your adjuster. If the tree is healthy and you're removing it electively, it's out of pocket.
