A clear, professional approach to hazardous tree removal — tailored to your Waterford property.
Our Waterford arborist examines the tree thoroughly — sounding the trunk, checking root flare, looking for fungal conks, evaluating any lean. We document the hazard for your records and plan the removal accordingly.
B. Haney and Sons Arborists plans every hazardous tree takedown in Waterford 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 Waterford crew finishes every hazardous removal with documentation (photos, written summary) for your records, then hauls wood, grinds the stump, and cleans the site thoroughly.

Standard homeowner policies in Michigan usually do not cover removal of hazardous trees that have not yet failed. They cover removal AFTER the tree falls on a structure. Some policies cover hazardous tree removal if the tree is imminently threatening insured structures. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can document the hazard for Waterford insurance claims, but coverage decisions are between you and your carrier.
Hazardous trees in Waterford have compromised wood that cannot bear normal rigging loads. We use smaller sections, more conservative cuts, frequent crane support, and additional safety personnel. The result is a slower, more deliberate takedown — worth the cost to protect property and people, but more labor-intensive than healthy-tree work.
Hazardous tree removal in Waterford typically costs 30 to 100% more than standard removal of a comparable healthy tree, due to the extra rigging precautions, frequent crane requirements, and longer takedown time. Specific pricing depends on tree condition, size, target zones, and access. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides detailed written estimates.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Hedge and shrub trimming for our entire foundation planting and a long property-line hedge. The crew shaped everything beautifully — formal lines on the hedge, natural shape on the shrubs. Easy scheduling, fair price, great results."
"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."
"Very impressed with the safety protocols. The crew set up cones, used rope rigging on every cut, and never moved the chipper without checking the area. You can tell these arborists take their work seriously. Great results, and our property was perfectly safe the whole time."
