Your local arborists in Makaweli, HI. From routine pruning to emergency tree response, we handle it all.
Our certified Hawaii crews provide a complete range of tree care services for Makaweli homeowners and businesses.
Professional tree pest control using IPM principles. We identify the pest, choose the most targeted treatment method, and protect non-target pollinators wherever possible — effective and responsible.
Mechanical and hand-dug tree transplanting for trees up to large caliper sizes. We root-prune in advance when possible, lift with proper soil mass, and re-plant with deep watering protocols.
Structural cabling and bracing to support weak unions and split trunks on otherwise healthy trees. Properly installed ANSI A300 hardware can extend a heritage tree life by decades.
Round-the-clock emergency tree service for any tree crisis. We respond at all hours with the equipment and arborist expertise to handle the most dangerous tree situations safely and efficiently.
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.
Professional tree disease management based on accurate diagnosis. Our arborists identify the pathogen, prescribe a treatment plan grounded in disease biology, and follow up to confirm response.
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.
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.
Post-storm cleanup including downed tree removal, broken-limb extraction, and complete debris hauling. We coordinate with insurance adjusters and document the damage as needed.
Professional crown reduction that brings the canopy down proportionally while preserving tree structure. We use proper reduction cuts to lateral branches the tree can recover from, never harmful topping.
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.
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.
Skilled removal of standing deadwood, regardless of size. We use the right combination of climbing, rigging, and crane support for each dead tree to keep our crew and your property completely safe.
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.
Professional tree installation by arborists who know what they are doing — proper depth, mulch ring, watering instructions, and species selection that matches your soil, sun, and space.
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.
Professional crown thinning that improves tree health and reduces storm damage risk. We remove select branches throughout the canopy — never lion-tailing, never over-thinning that causes stress.
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.
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.
Custom tree fertilization programs based on soil testing and species needs. Our arborists prescribe and apply slow-release nutrients via deep-root injection — restoring vigor that surface feeding cannot match.
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.
Shrub and hedge trimming by crews who understand which plants tolerate hard pruning and which need a gentle touch. Formal lines on hedges, natural shape on shrubs — clean results either way.
B. Haney and Sons Arborists brings 85 years of tree care tradition to the close-knit city of Makaweli, HI. 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 Makaweli 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.
Here is what sets B. Haney and Sons Arborists apart from other tree services in Makaweli.
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.
Most emergency calls are answered live and our crews can typically reach your property within 1 to 4 hours. Speed matters when a tree is on a roof or hanging dangerously after a storm.
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.
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.
Tree work is high-risk. We carry full general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage so you are never financially exposed for accidents on your property. Certificates available on request.
Have questions about tree care in Makaweli? We have answers.
For most species in Makaweli, 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 Makaweli property.
Yes. Our crews working in Makaweli include ISA-trained arborists who follow ANSI A300 pruning standards and ANSI Z133 safety standards. ISA-certified credentials are individual and may vary by team member, but every crew leader on a Makaweli job has the training to assess tree health, plan rigging properly, and make pruning cuts that promote long-term tree vitality rather than damaging the tree.
Tree removal costs in Makaweli 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.
Our Makaweli, HI crews work with chipper trucks, bucket trucks rated to 60+ feet, chainsaws sized for the cut, climbing gear with redundant tie-in points, rigging ropes and lowering blocks, and stump grinders ranging from sidewalk-sized to track-mounted machines. For large takedowns over structures we bring in crane support. Our equipment selection matches the job — never overkill, never under-spec.
Warning signs in Makaweli trees include large dead branches, mushrooms or conks at the base (indicating root rot), bark falling off in sheets, hollow trunk cavities, sudden lean, recent root disturbance, and crown dieback. A live tree may still be hazardous due to structural defects. Our arborists can perform a paid risk assessment with a written report, or include a basic visual evaluation with any free quote.
Yes. Standard B. Haney and Sons Arborists tree work in Makaweli includes hauling the limbs and brush off the property, chipping the small wood, and grinding the stump if requested. Larger trunk wood is cut to manageable lengths and either hauled away or left as firewood at your direction — your choice, no extra charge either way. We rake and clean the work site so it looks better than when we arrived.

"The crew was friendly, professional, and clearly experienced. They removed a large maple from our backyard with no damage to the surrounding shrubs or our wooden deck. The whole job took less than half a day. Excellent work."
