B. Haney and Sons Arborists approaches every hazardous tree in Chesapeake, VA with a careful assessment. Some leaning trees are stable; others are imminent failures. We make that determination using arborist tools, not guesswork.
We design the rigging plan based on the tree condition. Compromised wood means crane support, more careful section sizing, and lower rigging points to keep loads under safe limits.
Our Chesapeake arborists size every section based on what the wood can actually hold under load. Hazardous trees sometimes lose pieces unexpectedly — we never assume, we always test, we always have backup rigging.
B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides documentation on every hazardous tree job in Chesapeake for insurance, HOA, or municipal needs. Then we complete the cleanup to the standard you expect — full hauling, stump grinding, site raking.
What Chesapeake property owners want to know about hazardous tree removal — answered by our arborists.

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 Chesapeake 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.

"Stump removal — full extraction, not just grinding — for new construction footprint. Crew brought the right equipment, removed two large stumps with full root balls, back-filled, and left the area graded for the foundation work. Clean job."
"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."
"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."
