Expert arborist services for homes and businesses across Livingston, LA. ISA-trained, fully insured, ready 24/7.
Our certified Louisiana crews provide a complete range of tree care services for Livingston homeowners and businesses.
Integrated pest management for emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, scale insects, Japanese beetles, and other tree pests. Trunk injections, soil drenches, and bark sprays — chosen for least impact.
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.
Skilled trimming work that balances appearance with tree health. Our arborists know which branches to remove for clearance and which to leave for canopy structure — every cut is intentional.
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.
24/7 emergency response for trees on houses, blocking driveways, or hanging dangerously after storms. Our crews mobilize fast with cranes, bucket trucks, and chainsaws to make your property safe.
Professional shrub and hedge maintenance — formal hedges, foundation plantings, and overgrown ornamentals. We shape with the right tool for each species and the proper timing.
Professional tree planing that reshapes overgrown or unbalanced canopies for residential and commercial landscapes. Our arborists never lion-tail or top — only proper reduction cuts that the tree can recover from.
Professional tree transplanting that maximizes establishment success. Our crews assess the tree, plan the move, and handle the lift, transport, and replanting with the care a heritage tree deserves.
Independent expert opinion from ISA-trained arborists — risk assessments, hazard tree reports, plan reviews, and pre-construction tree protection plans for legal, insurance, or HOA needs.
Targeted treatment for oak wilt, anthracnose, Dutch elm disease, apple scab, and other tree pathogens. We diagnose accurately and apply EPA-registered fungicides only when they will actually help.
Complete tree removal with bucket truck, crane, or rope-rigging methods chosen to fit the site. We protect surrounding structures, fences, and gardens — then haul wood and grind the stump for a clean finish.
Skilled crown thinning by ISA-trained arborists. We reduce canopy density carefully and selectively, removing weak and crossing branches while preserving the structural framework of the tree.
Crown reduction service done right — proportional canopy reduction that respects tree biology. Our certified arborists size up each cut to ensure the tree heals cleanly and continues to thrive.
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.
Tree planting service that goes beyond just digging a hole. We test soil where appropriate, prepare the root ball correctly, plant at the right depth, and follow up with first-season care guidance.
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.
Acreage clearing for new construction, agricultural conversion, view corridors, and fire-break creation. Our heavy-equipment crews drop, chip, and haul efficiently at competitive per-acre pricing.
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.
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.
Complete stump extraction beyond what grinding can offer. Our crews dig out the root ball with appropriate equipment, dispose of the wood, and leave the site ready for the next phase of construction or landscaping.
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.
Deep-root fertilization and plant health care designed for established trees in compacted urban soils. We test, prescribe, and inject custom slow-release nutrients into the root zone.
B. Haney and Sons Arborists brings 85 years of tree care tradition to the close-knit town of Livingston, LA. Carrying on an arborist legacy that began in Lombard, Illinois in 1940, our crews approach every tree on every property with the same careful, science-based mindset that built the original reputation. In a smaller community, word travels fast — and we work like every job will be talked about by the neighbors.
From a single shade-tree pruning to a full storm cleanup, our Livingston arborists handle every project with proper rigging, clean cuts, and complete site cleanup. We use the right equipment for the size of the job — bucket trucks where they make sense, climbers where rigging is better — and we treat your property like our own. That is how B. Haney and Sons Arborists earns trust the old-fashioned way.
We are committed to careful tree work that protects your property, your trees, and your investment.
We carry on a tree care tradition rooted in Lombard, Illinois that began in 1940 — bringing decades of arborist knowledge and old-school workmanship to every job we touch.
Our crews are led by arborists trained to ISA standards — meaning every pruning cut, rigging plan, and treatment recommendation is grounded in real arborist science, not chainsaw guesswork.
Storms, fallen trees, and trees on houses do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Our emergency crews respond around the clock — holidays, weekends, and middle of the night.
Our arborists live in the regions they serve. They know the local tree species, the soil conditions, the disease pressures, and the seasonal patterns that affect tree health in your area.
We tell you when a tree can be saved and when it should come down — even if that means turning down work. Our reputation depends on honest advice, not maximizing every invoice.
Have questions about tree care in Livingston? We have answers.
Tree removal costs in Livingston typically range from $400 to $1,800 for standard residential trees and $2,000 to $6,000 or more for very large trees, hazardous trees over structures, or trees requiring crane assistance. Pricing depends on tree size, species, location relative to buildings and power lines, and whether stump removal is included. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed, written quotes before any work begins.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Livingston, LA and we are happy to recommend species that will thrive on your specific site — soil type, sun exposure, mature size, and disease resistance all matter. We do not just plant whatever the customer asks for if we know the species will fail. The right tree in the right place is the foundation of every healthy Livingston landscape.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Livingston 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 Livingston property owners end up with serious financial liability.
We provide 24/7 emergency tree response throughout Livingston and surrounding Louisiana 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.
For most species in Livingston, late winter through early spring (while trees are dormant and before bud break) is the ideal pruning window — 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 of year. We tailor pruning timing to each species at your Livingston property.
Tree removal permits in Livingston depend on local ordinances, the tree species, the trunk diameter, and whether the tree is on private property or in the public right-of-way. Some Louisiana municipalities protect heritage trees, certain native species, or street trees, while others require no permit for private-property removals. We check local rules before quoting and pull permits on your behalf when required.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers say.
"Good experience overall with B. Haney and Sons. They pruned our front-yard oak and trimmed back the maples that were rubbing on the roof. Office took a couple of follow-ups to schedule, but the field crew was top-notch and the work was done right. Trees look great."
"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."
"Emergency tree service in the middle of the night during an ice storm. Tree had fallen across our driveway. Crew was there in under three hours, cleared the driveway, and made the property safe. Pricing was very fair given the conditions."
