Proper pruning at the right time and the right amount actually improves tree health in Elka Park. Bad pruning (topping, lion-tailing, stub cuts) damages trees for decades. B. Haney and Sons Arborists arborists follow ANSI A300 standards and never remove more than 25% of live canopy in a single visit — proper biology, real arborist science.
No. Tree topping is poor arboriculture that creates weakly-attached water sprouts, exposes interior wood to disease, and shortens tree life dramatically. B. Haney and Sons Arborists does proper crown reduction with cuts to lateral branches when size reduction is needed in Elka Park. We will not top a tree even if a customer asks for it.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Tree pest control treatment for emerald ash borer. The arborist explained the trunk-injection process, treated our ash trees, and the trees have stayed healthy through what would otherwise have been a death sentence. Thank you for saving them."
"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."
"The arborist gave honest advice during the estimate — recommended we keep two trees we thought needed removal because they were actually healthy and worth saving. Saved us money and kept the trees. That kind of integrity is rare."
