Hazardous trees in Downieville 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.
Yes. Trees with significant lean (especially recent lean from root failure or wind events) can fail without warning, particularly in saturated soil or under load. Lean alone does not always indicate imminent failure — some trees grew leaning naturally and are stable. B. Haney and Sons Arborists arborists in Downieville evaluate root condition, lean angle, and trunk integrity to assess actual risk.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Good tree work overall. The trimming and pruning was excellent and the trees look great. Cleanup could have been a little more thorough — found a few stray branches the next morning — but the actual tree work was top-notch and we will use them again."
"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 arborist gave honest advice during the estimate — recommended we keep two trees we thought needed removal because they were actually healthy and worth saving. Saved us money and kept the trees. That kind of integrity is rare."
