Utility Tree Removal — North Georgia & Metro Atlanta
Dead. Dying. Hazardous. Removed Safely. Every Time.
Trees growing on or adjacent to utility distribution rights-of-way represent one of the highest-risk categories of tree removal work. Large dead, dying, or hazardous (DDH) trees with decayed trunks cannot safely support a climber, and storm-damaged trees under structural tension can shift unpredictably when cut — making conventional removal methods genuinely dangerous near energized infrastructure. Beasley Tree Experts provides NCCCO certified, crane-assisted DDH tree removal for utility companies, electric cooperatives, and municipalities across Cherokee County, North Georgia, and Metro Atlanta. We handle the removals most other companies cannot safely perform.
When Standard Methods Are Not Enough
Advanced internal decay — dead and dying trees whose trunks have rotted from the inside are too structurally compromised for a climber to safely ascend. A conventional approach puts crew in direct contact with a structure that can fail at any moment
Storm-damaged trees under tension — a tree that has been partially uprooted, split, or pushed against a line is under significant structural tension. A single wrong cut can cause it to shift violently toward the line or toward the ground crew
Large diameter trees in tight corridors — a mature oak or pine with no safe directional fall path in a suburban or roadside corridor requires precision vertical extraction that only a crane can provide
Trees already in contact with lines — where a tree or limb is already resting on or near energized infrastructure, conventional removal is not an option. Our crane lifts sections cleanly upward and away from the line without any downward force or swing
Our NCCCO Certified Approach to Utility Tree Removal
Every utility tree removal Beasley Tree Experts undertakes follows a rigorous, documented process that meets OSHA and ANSI Z133 industry standards:
1. ISA Certified Arborist Assessment Our ISA certified arborist formally evaluates the tree's structural integrity, decay progression, lean, and proximity to infrastructure before any equipment arrives. A written risk assessment is produced for every job.
2. Crane Positioning on Stable Ground Our 110-ton Liebherr crane is set up on outrigger pads on stable ground at a safe minimum approach distance from energized infrastructure. Ground stability is independently assessed before any load is applied.
3. Rigging and Controlled Section Removal Each section of the tree is rigged with rated slings or steel chokers before it is cut. The crane holds the full weight of the section under tension while the cut is made — the section is then lifted cleanly upward and swung clear of the line before being lowered to the ground processing zone. Nothing drops or swings freely near infrastructure.
4. Coordinated Crew Communication Our crane operator, arborist, climber or aerial operator, and ground crew maintain radio communication throughout the removal. Agreed protocols govern every action before it happens.

Why NCCCO Certification Matters for Utility Work
Operating a crane near energized electrical infrastructure is one of the most regulated activities in the construction and tree care industries. The NCCCO credential is the standard that utility companies require their crane contractors to hold. Our operators have passed rigorous written and practical examinations in load calculations, rigging safety, ground stability assessment, and emergency response. This is what protects your infrastructure, our crew, and the public on every single utility tree removal job.
