Comprehensive arborist services tailored to Hillsdale properties. Click any service to learn more.
Professional tree installation by arborists who know what they are doing — proper depth, mulch ring, watering instructions, and species selection that matches your soil, sun, and space.
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.
Safe, professional removal of unwanted, oversized, or dying trees. Our certified arborists assess each tree, plan the rigging carefully, and bring it down in controlled sections without damaging structures or landscaping.
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 crown thinning that improves tree health and reduces storm damage risk. We remove select branches throughout the canopy — never lion-tailing, never over-thinning that causes stress.
Cost-effective stump grinding that takes the visible stump 6 to 12 inches below grade. Fast and efficient — ideal when you need to mow, replant grass, or simply get rid of the eyesore.
Tree planing service for property owners who want refined silhouettes without compromising tree structure. We make selective cuts that improve appearance and preserve the tree long-term health.
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.
Skilled trimming work that balances appearance with tree health. Our arborists know which branches to remove for clearance and which to leave for canopy structure — every cut is intentional.
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.
Storm damage tree service to clear your property after severe weather. Our crews handle fallen trees, hanging limbs, and brush cleanup — large-scale or single-tree, residential or commercial.
Professional tree fertilization that delivers nutrients where roots can actually use them. Surface fertilizer feeds the lawn — deep-root injection feeds the tree. Real plant health care, not just spreading granules.
Professional lot clearing service from small overgrown sites to multi-acre projects. We handle tree removal, brush clearing, chipping, and final grading — leaving you a build-ready site.
Structural cabling and bracing to support weak unions and split trunks on otherwise healthy trees. Properly installed ANSI A300 hardware can extend a heritage tree life by decades.
Careful removal of dangerous trees that threaten your property or your family safety. Our crews use crane support, controlled rigging, and ANSI Z133 safety standards on every hazardous tree job.
Specialized takedown of dead trees that have become brittle and unpredictable. We use crane assistance and advanced rigging because deadwood does not behave like live wood under load — safety-first work.
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.
Professional shrub and hedge maintenance — formal hedges, foundation plantings, and overgrown ornamentals. We shape with the right tool for each species and the proper timing.
Arborist consulting for property owners, attorneys, HOAs, and developers. Detailed written reports backed by ISA training and decades of arborist experience — the documentation you need, when you need it.
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.
Professional crown reduction that brings the canopy down proportionally while preserving tree structure. We use proper reduction cuts to lateral branches the tree can recover from, never harmful topping.
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.

Haney and Sons Arborists brings local arborist knowledge that out-of-town tree services simply do not have.

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.

Common questions about tree care in Hillsdale, NY.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Hillsdale, NY 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 Hillsdale landscape.
Yes. Our crews working in Hillsdale 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 Hillsdale 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.
For most species in Hillsdale, 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 Hillsdale property.
In most New York jurisdictions, Hillsdale 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.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Hillsdale property should carry general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. B. Haney and Sons Arborists maintains both, and we will provide certificates of insurance on request before starting work. Hiring uninsured tree cutters is one of the most common ways Hillsdale property owners end up with serious financial liability.
Tree removal permits in Hillsdale depend on local ordinances, the tree species, the trunk diameter, and whether the tree is on private property or in the public right-of-way. Some New York municipalities protect heritage trees, certain native species, or street trees, while others require no permit for private-property removals. We check local rules before quoting and pull permits on your behalf when required.
Real reviews from property owners we have served across the country.
"Excellent tree service. Got three quotes for a large oak removal — these guys were not the cheapest but their estimate was the most detailed and honest. The crew was punctual, careful with our landscaping, and left the site cleaner than they found it. Highly recommend."
"Called for emergency tree service after a big limb came down on our shed. Crew was here within three hours, removed the limb, cleaned up all the debris, and did not even charge us extra for the after-hours call. That is integrity right there."
"Got a written arborist consultation report for a real estate transaction — needed documentation that several trees on the property were not hazardous. Report was thorough, professional, and got accepted by the title company without issue. Quick turnaround too."
