B. Haney and Sons Arborists plans every hazardous tree takedown in Ranger with the worst-case in mind. We assume wood may fail unexpectedly and rig accordingly — bigger margins of safety, more crane support, lower lifting points.
We take the tree down in smaller, more conservative sections than a healthy tree would require. Wood integrity dictates section size, never just efficiency.
Our Ranger crew finishes every hazardous removal with documentation (photos, written summary) for your records, then hauls wood, grinds the stump, and cleans the site thoroughly.

B. Haney and Sons Arborists arborists can perform a paid risk assessment with a written report or include a basic visual evaluation with any free quote.
Our Ranger arborists assume hazardous trees may lose pieces unexpectedly during the takedown. We use crane support to pre-load sections before cutting, smaller sections than a healthy tree would require, redundant rigging tie-ins, and ground crew positioning that keeps everyone clear of potential failure zones. Slow and methodical is safer than fast.
