Structural cabling and bracing to support weak unions and split trunks on otherwise healthy trees. Properly installed ANSI A300 hardware can extend a heritage tree life by decades.
Crown reduction service done right — proportional canopy reduction that respects tree biology. Our certified arborists size up each cut to ensure the tree heals cleanly and continues to thrive.
Aesthetic trimming that shapes the canopy and clears branches away from rooflines, power lines, and walkways. Our crews work with rope rigging to keep the work clean and the property undamaged.
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.
Round-the-clock emergency tree service for any tree crisis. We respond at all hours with the equipment and arborist expertise to handle the most dangerous tree situations safely and efficiently.
Full-service tree takedowns from initial assessment through final cleanup. Our arborists handle everything — rigging the canopy down piece by piece, removing the trunk, grinding the stump, and clearing all debris.
Cost-effective stump grinding that takes the visible stump 6 to 12 inches below grade. Fast and efficient — ideal when you need to mow, replant grass, or simply get rid of the eyesore.
Professional tree disease management based on accurate diagnosis. Our arborists identify the pathogen, prescribe a treatment plan grounded in disease biology, and follow up to confirm response.
Species-appropriate tree planting with proper root ball preparation, planting depth, soil amendment, and staking. We help you choose trees that will thrive on your specific site.
Tree pest treatment by arborists who understand insect biology. From emerald ash borer trunk injections to scale soil drenches, we choose the right method, the right timing, and the right product.
Mechanical and hand-dug tree transplanting for trees up to large caliper sizes. We root-prune in advance when possible, lift with proper soil mass, and re-plant with deep watering protocols.
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.
Professional crown thinning that improves tree health and reduces storm damage risk. We remove select branches throughout the canopy — never lion-tailing, never over-thinning that causes stress.
Professional tree fertilization that delivers nutrients where roots can actually use them. Surface fertilizer feeds the lawn — deep-root injection feeds the tree. Real plant health care, not just spreading granules.
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.
Complete stump extraction beyond what grinding can offer. Our crews dig out the root ball with appropriate equipment, dispose of the wood, and leave the site ready for the next phase of construction or landscaping.
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.
Professional lot clearing service from small overgrown sites to multi-acre projects. We handle tree removal, brush clearing, chipping, and final grading — leaving you a build-ready site.

Common questions about tree care in Hillsboro, KY.
Warning signs in Hillsboro 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.
Cabling and bracing are structural support systems for trees with weak unions, codominant stems, or split trunks that are otherwise healthy enough to save. Properly installed ANSI A300 hardware can extend a heritage tree life in Hillsboro by decades. Not every weak tree is worth cabling — sometimes removal is safer and more cost-effective. Our Hillsboro arborists make honest recommendations based on tree value, hazard level, and long-term outlook.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Hillsboro property should carry general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. B. Haney and Sons Arborists maintains both, and we will provide certificates of insurance on request before starting work. Hiring uninsured tree cutters is one of the most common ways Hillsboro property owners end up with serious financial liability.
Tree removal costs in Hillsboro 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.
For most species in Hillsboro, late winter through early spring (while trees are dormant and before bud break) is the ideal pruning window — wounds heal cleanly and disease pressure is lowest. Oaks should not be pruned during the spring-summer oak wilt risk period. Storm damage and hazardous limbs can be addressed any time of year. We tailor pruning timing to each species at your Hillsboro property.
Our Hillsboro, KY crews work with chipper trucks, bucket trucks rated to 60+ feet, chainsaws sized for the cut, climbing gear with redundant tie-in points, rigging ropes and lowering blocks, and stump grinders ranging from sidewalk-sized to track-mounted machines. For large takedowns over structures we bring in crane support. Our equipment selection matches the job — never overkill, never under-spec.
See what our customers have to say about their experience with B. Haney and Sons Arborists.
"Tree fertilization and deep-root feeding program for our older trees. The arborist tested the soil first, prescribed a custom blend, and applied it properly into the root zone. Trees are noticeably more vigorous this growing season. Worth it."
"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 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."
