Lajoie Bros. General Contractors<\/a> used a rear mounted Boom Truck Crane to set a 60 ft. tall evergreen in Market Square Park in Augusta, Maine.<\/p>\n

\u201cTry not to break it,\u201d Bruce Chase, the city\u2019s recreation director, instructed the crane operator before the tree was brought downtown. \u201cJust be delicate, because it\u2019s such a beautiful tree.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the biggest tree we\u2019ve had, so it\u2019s been the biggest challenge we\u2019ve had,\u201d Chase said, referring to the logistics of planting so large a spruce in downtown Augusta. Traffic had to be blocked on Water Street for about a half hour so the crane could unload it.<\/p>\n

The tree was lowered into a 4-foot hole and secured with a corrugated plastic sleeve and lumber wedges. When one of the people helping raise the tree asked \u201cwhere\u2019s the tree stand\u201d as a joke, Chase responded with faux shock, \u201cI knew there was something I forgot!\u201d<\/p>\n

Several area companies provided free labor for the tree raising Saturday, including Chavarie Tree Service<\/a> and Lajoie Brothers contractors.<\/p>\n
