Answers to frequently asked lot clearing questions from Thayer property owners.

Heavy equipment can compact soil if used carelessly in Thayer, especially on saturated ground. B.

We also avoid working through wet weeks when conditions favor compaction. Soil health is part of our scope.
Per your scope. B.

Pricing varies significantly by approach — full stump removal is the most expensive option, leaving stumps the least expensive.
Options in Thayer include on-site mulching (brush ground into wood chips and spread), chipping into trucks for haul-away, sale of merchantable timber if quantities justify it, or leaving processed material for the customer.

Real feedback from property owners who trusted B. Haney and Sons Arborists with their tree care.
"These guys handled a tricky takedown — large cottonwood between our house and the neighbor garage. Tight quarters, no margin for error. Used a crane and proper rigging. Job done in one day, no damage anywhere. True professionals."
"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."
"The pruning work on our heritage oak was exceptional. The arborist explained which limbs needed to come out for tree health and which to leave for canopy structure. Cuts were made cleanly at the proper collar locations. Tree looks beautiful and well-balanced."
