They handled the job with professionalism, skill, and a friendly matter that made the whole experience a positive one.

Our Work
Tree care projects completed by the Adel Tree crew across Central Iowa
An 85-Foot Tree. One Big Pick at a Time
A 60-foot bucket truck and a 96-foot crane worked together to remove a massive ash tree beside the road and a nearby house.
The Crane Under the Northern Lights
An early jobsite start brought the Adel Tree crane home for a memorable night beneath the northern lights.
Knuckleboom Crane Reaching Out
A knuckleboom crane reaches over the house while the crew works from above and below.
Grapple Saw and Climber
A grapple saw and a climber team up to bring down a silver maple.
Two Booms. One Big Job.
The bucket lift and grapple crane share the work while the crew takes down an ash.
Big Crane. Tiny Access. No Problem.
With zero ground access, the crew flew a spider lift into an enclosed courtyard and completed 11 picks with a 245-ton crane.
The Boys Getting Things Done
A grapple saw and climber team up on a broken limb, with the crew getting the job done in whatever the day brings.
Four Black Cherries Before Lunch
All four trees came down from one setup before lunch. Treemek and the grapple saw made quick work of it.
The Little Spider That Could
The spider lift can reach places a bucket truck can't, giving the crew another way to work around difficult trees and tight spaces.
Arborist at Work
Tyler uses professional climbing and safety equipment to work precisely within the tree’s canopy.
Lifting a Large Residential Trunk
A crane lifted a large trunk section during a carefully planned residential tree removal.
Tight-Access Oak Pruning
A compact spider lift gave the crew access to a mature oak positioned between buildings.
Removing a Leaning Tree
The crew paired careful cutting with a mini skid steer to remove the tree and handle the material efficiently.
Crane-Assisted Removal in Macksburg
Careful setup and remote operation kept this large removal moving efficiently despite rain-softened ground.
Removing a Dead Street-Side Pin Oak
With soft ground limiting yard access, the crew worked from the street to carefully dismantle this large dead tree.
Finishing a Hazardous Pin Oak Removal
The crew safely completed the canopy work on an extremely dead pin oak that had been left partially dismantled.
Pruning a Large Walnut Over a Home
Using two aerial lifts, the crew repaired storm damage, removed hanging limbs, and reduced the canopy over the client’s home.
Pruning Oaks Beside a Pond
Two arborists worked across mature oak canopies beside a challenging shoreline.
Maple Removal at Sunset
Coordinated planning and teamwork kept a three-maple county removal project moving smoothly and efficiently.
