From routine pruning to emergency tree response, we handle every tree care need for homes and businesses in Platteville, CO.
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.
Skilled hedge and shrub work that maintains shape, health, and curb appeal. We use sharp tools, proper timing for each species, and full debris cleanup on every visit.
Professional tree trimming for shape, clearance, and curb appeal. We remove branches that interfere with structures or sight lines while keeping the natural form of each tree intact.
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.
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.
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.
Professional tree pest control using IPM principles. We identify the pest, choose the most targeted treatment method, and protect non-target pollinators wherever possible — effective and responsible.
Careful removal of dangerous trees that threaten your property or your family safety. Our crews use crane support, controlled rigging, and ANSI Z133 safety standards on every hazardous tree job.
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.
Storm damage tree service to clear your property after severe weather. Our crews handle fallen trees, hanging limbs, and brush cleanup — large-scale or single-tree, residential or commercial.
Selective canopy planing to level uneven growth and refine tree silhouettes. We work with the natural tree form rather than against it, balancing aesthetics with long-term tree health.
Specialized takedown of dead trees that have become brittle and unpredictable. We use crane assistance and advanced rigging because deadwood does not behave like live wood under load — safety-first work.
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.
Full root-ball stump removal for new construction, foundation clearance, or anywhere the entire root mass must come out. We excavate the stump completely, back-fill, and grade the area.
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.
Tree cabling and bracing services by ISA-trained arborists. We assess the structural defect, design appropriate hardware placement, and install cables that prevent tree failure without strangling growth.
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.
Professional arborist consultation services with written reports. Whether you need a tree risk assessment, a real estate transaction document, or a construction tree protection plan, we provide credible expert opinions.
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.
Custom tree fertilization programs based on soil testing and species needs. Our arborists prescribe and apply slow-release nutrients via deep-root injection — restoring vigor that surface feeding cannot match.

Common questions about tree care in Platteville, CO.
Tree removal in Platteville 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 Platteville property owners decide which approach fits each tree.
In most Colorado jurisdictions, Platteville 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.
Warning signs in Platteville 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.
We provide 24/7 emergency tree response throughout Platteville and surrounding Colorado communities. For trees on houses, blocking driveways, or hanging dangerously after storms, our crews typically arrive on-site within 1 to 4 hours of your call depending on weather conditions and current call volume. We arrive with chainsaws, rigging gear, and bucket-truck or crane support as the situation requires.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Platteville 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 Platteville property owners end up with serious financial liability.
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 Platteville by decades. Not every weak tree is worth cabling — sometimes removal is safer and more cost-effective. Our Platteville arborists make honest recommendations based on tree value, hazard level, and long-term outlook.

"Had a huge dead pine that needed to come down between two houses. The crew used ropes and rigged every section down by hand — no damage to either property. Stump grinder cleaned up the area beautifully. Very impressed with the skill level."
"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."
"Good quality tree work. Pruning was done well and the trees look great. Office communication was a little slow at the start, but once the crew was on-site everything went smoothly. Reasonable pricing too."
