Trees with root rot, hollow trunks, or significant crown dieback usually cannot be safely saved. B. Haney and Sons Arborists arborists in Sumner make honest recommendations — sometimes saving the tree, sometimes recommending removal.
Standard homeowner policies in Missouri usually do not cover removal of hazardous trees that have not yet failed. They cover removal AFTER the tree falls on a structure.

Hazardous trees in Sumner 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.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Cabling and bracing on a heritage oak with a split trunk. The arborist installed proper hardware and showed me exactly what they did and why. The tree is stable, beautiful, and likely good for another 20+ years. Specialized work done right."
"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."
"I have used a lot of tree companies and these are by far the most professional. Quotes are detailed and written. Crews are punctual and respectful. Cleanup is meticulous. Pricing is fair. Honestly cannot ask for more from a tree service."
