24/7 emergency response for trees on houses, blocking driveways, or hanging dangerously after storms. Our crews mobilize fast with cranes, bucket trucks, and chainsaws to make your property safe.
Skilled crown thinning by ISA-trained arborists. We reduce canopy density carefully and selectively, removing weak and crossing branches while preserving the structural framework of the tree.
Professional hazardous tree takedowns by ISA-trained arborists with proper rigging and full safety protocols. We make the tree come down where we want it, not where gravity wants it.
Professional tree installation by arborists who know what they are doing — proper depth, mulch ring, watering instructions, and species selection that matches your soil, sun, and space.
Professional dead tree removal with proper safety protocols. Dead trees are more dangerous than they look — our arborists know how to assess wood integrity and bring them down in controlled sections.
Clean stump grinding service that leaves your yard ready for sod, mulch, or new planting. Our grinder operators are efficient and the cleanup is thorough — no chips left scattered across the lawn.
Whole-tree size reduction to reduce wind sail, fit the site better, or clear setbacks. Our arborists make proper reduction cuts at lateral branches — never topping, never lion-tailing.
Complete deadwood removal from large mature trees. Our climbers go through the canopy systematically, identifying and removing every dead branch worth taking — safer trees, healthier appearance.
Health-focused pruning following ANSI A300 standards. Our arborists make proper cuts at the branch collar to remove weak, diseased, or crossing limbs while preserving the natural canopy structure.
Deep-root fertilization and plant health care designed for established trees in compacted urban soils. We test, prescribe, and inject custom slow-release nutrients into the root zone.
Independent expert opinion from ISA-trained arborists — risk assessments, hazard tree reports, plan reviews, and pre-construction tree protection plans for legal, insurance, or HOA needs.
Shrub and hedge trimming by crews who understand which plants tolerate hard pruning and which need a gentle touch. Formal lines on hedges, natural shape on shrubs — clean results either way.
Complete storm cleanup from broken limbs to whole-tree removals. We work fast after weather events to clear hazards, haul wood and debris, and leave your property safe and accessible again.
Targeted treatment for oak wilt, anthracnose, Dutch elm disease, apple scab, and other tree pathogens. We diagnose accurately and apply EPA-registered fungicides only when they will actually help.
Acreage clearing for new construction, agricultural conversion, view corridors, and fire-break creation. Our heavy-equipment crews drop, chip, and haul efficiently at competitive per-acre pricing.
Tree relocation service for valuable specimens that need to move within or between properties. We use spade trucks, hand-dug methods, and proper aftercare to give your transplanted tree the best chance.
Every tree in Southwick faces its own challenges — from Massachusetts weather extremes to the specific oaks, maples, ashes, and ornamentals found across this town. B. Haney and Sons Arborists brings local arborist knowledge that out-of-town tree services simply do not have.

We carry on a tree care tradition rooted in Lombard, Illinois that began in 1940 — bringing decades of arborist knowledge and old-school workmanship to every job we touch.

Have questions about tree care in Southwick? We have answers.
Tree removal in Southwick means taking the entire tree down to a stump or grinding the stump as well — usually because the tree is dead, hazardous, undesirable, or in the way of construction. Tree trimming is selective branch work to shape the canopy, clear structures, or improve appearance. Pruning is more health-focused than trimming, removing weak or diseased wood. We help Southwick property owners decide which approach fits each tree.
Warning signs in Southwick trees include large dead branches, mushrooms or conks at the base (indicating root rot), bark falling off in sheets, hollow trunk cavities, sudden lean, recent root disturbance, and crown dieback. A live tree may still be hazardous due to structural defects. Our arborists can perform a paid risk assessment with a written report, or include a basic visual evaluation with any free quote.
Yes. Our crews working in Southwick include ISA-trained arborists who follow ANSI A300 pruning standards and ANSI Z133 safety standards. ISA-certified credentials are individual and may vary by team member, but every crew leader on a Southwick job has the training to assess tree health, plan rigging properly, and make pruning cuts that promote long-term tree vitality rather than damaging the tree.
In most Massachusetts jurisdictions, Southwick property owners have the legal right to trim neighbor branches that cross the property line, but only up to the property line and only without damaging the tree health. We always recommend a friendly conversation with the neighbor first and proper documentation. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can perform the work and provide written records — but the legal questions belong with you, not us.
Tree removal costs in Southwick typically range from $400 to $1,800 for standard residential trees and $2,000 to $6,000 or more for very large trees, hazardous trees over structures, or trees requiring crane assistance. Pricing depends on tree size, species, location relative to buildings and power lines, and whether stump removal is included. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed, written quotes before any work begins.
The stump can stay in Southwick if you do not mind it visually and you are not replanting in that exact spot. However, stumps attract carpenter ants and termites, become tripping hazards, interfere with mowing, and may sprout new growth. Stump grinding takes the stump 6 to 12 inches below grade — fast and inexpensive. Full stump removal extracts the root ball — slower and more expensive but sometimes necessary for new construction in Southwick.
