Haney and Sons Arborists can recommend a schedule based on your specific trees.
For most species in Clayton, late winter through early spring (while trees are dormant and before bud break) is ideal — wounds heal cleanly and disease pressure is lowest. Oaks should not be pruned during the spring-summer oak wilt risk period. Storm damage and hazardous limbs can be addressed any time. B.

Pruning in Clayton is health-focused — removing weak, diseased, or structurally problematic branches following ANSI A300 standards. Trimming is more aesthetic — shaping the canopy or clearing structures. Many Clayton jobs combine both. B.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Hired Haney for a complete plant health care program — fertilization, pest treatment, and seasonal pruning. Our trees have responded beautifully. The fact that this company has been in tree care for over 80 years gave me confidence they would do it right, and they did."
"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."
"Tree planting service was excellent. The arborist helped us pick species that would thrive in our soil and climate, and the planting itself was done with proper depth, root ball preparation, and staking. All five trees are doing great two seasons later."
