Our Oak Ridge arborists assume hazardous trees may lose pieces unexpectedly during the takedown.

Slow and methodical is safer than fast.
Standard homeowner policies in North Carolina usually do not cover removal of hazardous trees that have not yet failed. They cover removal AFTER the tree falls on a structure. Some policies cover hazardous tree removal if the tree is imminently threatening insured structures. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can document the hazard for Oak Ridge insurance claims, but coverage decisions are between you and your carrier.
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 Oak Ridge 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.
"These arborists actually care about tree health, not just cutting. They talked me out of an unnecessary removal and helped me set up a long-term plant health care plan instead. The tree is healthier than ever and saved me thousands compared to a removal-replant."
"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."
"Stump removal — full extraction, not just grinding — for new construction footprint. Crew brought the right equipment, removed two large stumps with full root balls, back-filled, and left the area graded for the foundation work. Clean job."
