What Is Grapple Service?

A grapple truck is a large dump truck with a boom and claw that can quickly pick up brush, tree trunks, and bulky yard waste from the curb or from accessible areas on your property. It’s the most efficient way to move large volumes of debris in a short amount of time.

  • Perfect for storm cleanup and hurricane debris hauling.
  • Ideal when you need grapple truck debris removal after big tree projects.
  • Faster and safer than loading trailers or pickup trucks by hand.

If you can stack it in a pile, our grapple hauling services can usually pick it up.

Grapple Service FAQs

How is grapple truck service priced?
Our pricing is simple and upfront: $450 per grapple truck pickup. Each pickup includes up to one full 25-yard load. Most residential piles fit in a single load. No estimate is required — just send your address and we’ll schedule the next available pickup.
Do I need to pile the debris a certain way?
It helps to have brush and logs stacked in one or two consolidated piles with the cut ends facing the street or access point. The pile should also be in a spot with clear overhead access so our grapple boom can safely reach it without tree branches or power lines in the way. We’ll guide you on the best location if you’re unsure.
What overhead clearance does the grapple truck need?
Our grapple truck requires a safe amount of overhead clearance to operate the boom. Please make sure the pickup area is free of low tree branches, power lines, or driveway overhangs. If overhead obstructions are present, we recommend an alternate pile location where safe before scheduling.
Can you pick up debris created by another tree company?
Yes. We regularly provide residential and commercial grapple pickup for debris left by other tree services, landscapers, and contractors. As long as the material is safe to haul and within our guidelines, we’re happy to help.
Do I need to be home for grapple service?
Not necessarily. As long as we have clear instructions, safe access, and any gate codes we need, our crew can complete the grapple truck debris removal.
Are you licensed and insured for this type of work?
Absolutely. Kevin’s Tree Service is fully insured with active General Liability and Workers’ Comp. We can provide Certificates of Insurance (COIs) for HOAs, property managers, and commercial clients upon request.
