Sometimes. Trees with structural defects (weak unions, codominant stems) on otherwise healthy specimens may be saveable with cabling and bracing. Trees with root rot, hollow trunks, or significant crown dieback usually cannot be safely saved. B. Haney and Sons Arborists arborists in Spencer make honest recommendations — sometimes saving the tree, sometimes recommending removal.
Our Spencer 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.
Hazardous trees in Spencer 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.
See what customers across the country say about working with B. Haney and Sons Arborists.
"I researched a lot of tree companies before picking B. Haney and Sons. The legacy of their name and the reviews from longtime customers sealed it. They removed three dying ash trees, planted two replacements, and gave me a written care plan for the new ones. Worth every dollar."
"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."
"Tree planting service was excellent. The arborist helped us pick species that would thrive in our soil and climate, and the planting itself was done with proper depth, root ball preparation, and staking. All five trees are doing great two seasons later."
