Need a tree looked at today?
Ironwood Tree & Crane handles the whole job — from a hazardous mesquite over the driveway to a full lot clearing — for homeowners and small commercial sites across Tucson, AZ. Call and you'll get a straight answer about what your tree needs, a plan for safe removal or pruning, and a crew that hauls away the brush and rakes the ground before we leave.
What we do
Some trees are past saving — dead, storm-split, leaning, or crowding a foundation. We plan each removal around your house, fences, and power lines, using rigging or our crane for tight desert lots. Every removal comes with a cleanup plan so limbs, trunk sections, and debris are hauled off and the site is left tidy, not torn up.
✆ Call about a removalSelective pruning keeps mesquite, palo verde, and ash trees strong through monsoon winds. We remove deadwood, lift low branches for driveway and roof clearance, and thin crowded canopies to improve airflow — cutting to support the tree's natural structure rather than topping it. The result is a safer, better-shaped tree and less mess in the yard.
✆ Schedule pruningMonsoon season drops big limbs and whole trees across Tucson yards fast. When the wind passes, we come out to remove and chip fallen branches and damaged debris, clear what's blocking drives and walkways, and assess whether the remaining tree is stable. Call during our open hours and we'll get your property back to safe and usable.
✆ Report storm damageBuilding, expanding, or reclaiming an overgrown parcel? We clear trees, saplings, and brush from selected residential and small commercial sites, working section by section so you keep the specimens worth saving. Cut material is chipped or hauled, leaving a clean, workable lot ready for the next stage of your project.
✆ Discuss a clearingNot sure if a tree is dying or just stressed by the heat? We give it a careful visual assessment — checking overall condition, visible defects, signs of pests, and likely causes — then walk you through practical next steps. It's the honest starting point before you decide on pruning, cabling, or removal.
✆ Book an assessmentDead branches don't wait for a convenient time to fall. We target and remove deadwood that hangs over yards, roofs, driveways, and walkways before it drops onto something — or someone. It's a focused, lower-cost visit that cuts your risk during windy stretches and keeps a healthy tree looking its best.
✆ Clear deadwoodWhen a tree has outgrown its space or towers over the house, crown reduction brings it back to a safer size. We selectively shorten height or spread while preserving the tree's natural shape and structural strength — a measured alternative to topping that keeps the canopy healthy and reduces wind sail during storms.
✆ Ask about reductionA tree with a weak union or a heavy, over-extended limb can often be supported rather than lost. Where it makes sense, we plan supplemental cabling and bracing to relieve stress on vulnerable points and reduce the chance of failure. We'll tell you plainly when it's the right call and when removal is the smarter choice.
✆ Talk cabling optionsPiles of cut limbs, storm debris, and woody brush add up quickly on a Tucson property. We bring the chipper on site and process it where it lies, turning bulky waste into manageable chips and leaving your yard clean. It pairs naturally with any pruning or removal job — or stands alone when you've done the cutting.
✆ Schedule chippingThe right tree in the right spot thrives in the desert; the wrong one struggles for years. We help you choose species suited to Tucson's climate and your yard, advise on placement away from utilities and structures, then plant it properly and hand you clear early-care instructions so it establishes strong.
✆ Plan a planting“Second time using them.”
“Can't say enough good things.”
“We've used them twice now, most recently for crane-assisted tree removal.”
“Quick response when I called about crown reduction.”
