Comprehensive arborist services tailored to Harper Woods properties. Click any service to learn more.
Professional tree trimming for shape, clearance, and curb appeal. We remove branches that interfere with structures or sight lines while keeping the natural form of each tree intact.
Mechanical and hand-dug tree transplanting for trees up to large caliper sizes. We root-prune in advance when possible, lift with proper soil mass, and re-plant with deep watering protocols.
Round-the-clock emergency tree service for any tree crisis. We respond at all hours with the equipment and arborist expertise to handle the most dangerous tree situations safely and efficiently.
Professional deadwooding service that removes only the dead branches — leaving live structure untouched. Climbed work with careful spotting to ensure no live wood is removed by mistake.
Expert removal of leaning, decaying, or structurally unsound trees before they fail. Our arborists evaluate root health, trunk integrity, and lean angle to identify true hazards — then remove them safely.
Skilled hedge and shrub work that maintains shape, health, and curb appeal. We use sharp tools, proper timing for each species, and full debris cleanup on every visit.
Complete tree removal with bucket truck, crane, or rope-rigging methods chosen to fit the site. We protect surrounding structures, fences, and gardens — then haul wood and grind the stump for a clean finish.
Professional tree disease management based on accurate diagnosis. Our arborists identify the pathogen, prescribe a treatment plan grounded in disease biology, and follow up to confirm response.
Skilled crown thinning by ISA-trained arborists. We reduce canopy density carefully and selectively, removing weak and crossing branches while preserving the structural framework of the tree.
Species-appropriate tree planting with proper root ball preparation, planting depth, soil amendment, and staking. We help you choose trees that will thrive on your specific site.
Skilled removal of standing deadwood, regardless of size. We use the right combination of climbing, rigging, and crane support for each dead tree to keep our crew and your property completely safe.
Professional stump removal by grinding. We bring the right-sized grinder for the access (handheld for tight spots, track-mounted for big stumps), grind the stump and surface roots, and rake the chips smooth.
Crown reduction service done right — proportional canopy reduction that respects tree biology. Our certified arborists size up each cut to ensure the tree heals cleanly and continues to thrive.
Custom tree fertilization programs based on soil testing and species needs. Our arborists prescribe and apply slow-release nutrients via deep-root injection — restoring vigor that surface feeding cannot match.
Professional cabling and bracing for valuable trees with structural weaknesses. We use rust-resistant cable, proper hardware, and ANSI A300 installation methods to give your tree decades more life.
Full root-ball stump removal for new construction, foundation clearance, or anywhere the entire root mass must come out. We excavate the stump completely, back-fill, and grade the area.
Complete lot clearing with the right equipment for the scale — track loaders, chippers, brush mulchers, and chainsaw crews. Fast, efficient, and priced per acre rather than per tree.
Professional tree pest control using IPM principles. We identify the pest, choose the most targeted treatment method, and protect non-target pollinators wherever possible — effective and responsible.
Complete storm cleanup from broken limbs to whole-tree removals. We work fast after weather events to clear hazards, haul wood and debris, and leave your property safe and accessible again.
Selective canopy planing to level uneven growth and refine tree silhouettes. We work with the natural tree form rather than against it, balancing aesthetics with long-term tree health.
Professional arborist consultation services with written reports. Whether you need a tree risk assessment, a real estate transaction document, or a construction tree protection plan, we provide credible expert opinions.
Careful tree pruning by ISA-trained arborists. We never top, lion-tail, or stub-cut — every cut is made with the tree biological response in mind, protecting the heartwood and accelerating wound closure.
Harper Woods property owners count on professional tree crews because the alternative — a friend with a chainsaw — is how serious accidents and lawsuits happen. With 14,686 residents and a full range of mature trees, B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides the equipment, rigging skills, and arborist training that Harper Woods tree work actually requires. Every crew leader is fully insured, fully equipped, and fully responsible.
Modern arborist science is built on rigging math, ANSI A300 pruning cuts, and ANSI Z133 safety standards. Our MI crews follow all three on every job, deploying the right combination of bucket trucks, climbing gear, and ground equipment for the specific tree and site. That science-based approach saves Harper Woods property owners money and keeps everyone safe.
Here is what sets B. Haney and Sons Arborists apart from other tree services in Harper Woods.
Storms, fallen trees, and trees on houses do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Our emergency crews respond around the clock — holidays, weekends, and middle of the night.
Standard service includes hauling all branches and brush, chipping the small wood, raking the work area, and leaving your property cleaner than we found it. No surprise debris-removal fees.
We carry on a tree care tradition rooted in Lombard, Illinois that began in 1940 — bringing decades of arborist knowledge and old-school workmanship to every job we touch.
Tree work is high-risk. We carry full general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage so you are never financially exposed for accidents on your property. Certificates available on request.
Our crews are led by arborists trained to ISA standards — meaning every pruning cut, rigging plan, and treatment recommendation is grounded in real arborist science, not chainsaw guesswork.
Have questions about tree care in Harper Woods? We have answers.
For most species in Harper Woods, late winter through early spring (while trees are dormant and before bud break) is the ideal pruning window — wounds heal cleanly and disease pressure is lowest. Oaks should not be pruned during the spring-summer oak wilt risk period. Storm damage and hazardous limbs can be addressed any time of year. We tailor pruning timing to each species at your Harper Woods property.
Yes. Our crews working in Harper Woods include ISA-trained arborists who follow ANSI A300 pruning standards and ANSI Z133 safety standards. ISA-certified credentials are individual and may vary by team member, but every crew leader on a Harper Woods job has the training to assess tree health, plan rigging properly, and make pruning cuts that promote long-term tree vitality rather than damaging the tree.
Warning signs in Harper Woods trees include large dead branches, mushrooms or conks at the base (indicating root rot), bark falling off in sheets, hollow trunk cavities, sudden lean, recent root disturbance, and crown dieback. A live tree may still be hazardous due to structural defects. Our arborists can perform a paid risk assessment with a written report, or include a basic visual evaluation with any free quote.
In most Michigan jurisdictions, Harper Woods property owners have the legal right to trim neighbor branches that cross the property line, but only up to the property line and only without damaging the tree health. We always recommend a friendly conversation with the neighbor first and proper documentation. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can perform the work and provide written records — but the legal questions belong with you, not us.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Harper Woods, MI and we are happy to recommend species that will thrive on your specific site — soil type, sun exposure, mature size, and disease resistance all matter. We do not just plant whatever the customer asks for if we know the species will fail. The right tree in the right place is the foundation of every healthy Harper Woods landscape.
Tree removal in Harper Woods means taking the entire tree down to a stump or grinding the stump as well — usually because the tree is dead, hazardous, undesirable, or in the way of construction. Tree trimming is selective branch work to shape the canopy, clear structures, or improve appearance. Pruning is more health-focused than trimming, removing weak or diseased wood. We help Harper Woods property owners decide which approach fits each tree.
Real reviews from property owners we have served across the country.
"Cabling and bracing on a heritage oak with a split trunk. The arborist installed proper hardware and showed me exactly what they did and why. The tree is stable, beautiful, and likely good for another 20+ years. Specialized work done right."
"I have been using B. Haney for our property for years. They prune our maples every other winter and the trees have never looked healthier. There is something to be said for hiring an arborist company that has been doing this since 1940 — the experience shows in every cut."
"Crown reduction on two large maples that were getting too big for our small lot. The arborists made proper reduction cuts to lateral branches — none of that ugly topping that other companies do. Trees look natural and healthy and the size is perfect now."
