Haney and Sons Arborists tree care job in Little Compton, RI is completed to ANSI A300 pruning standards, backed by full insurance, and supported by a crew that picks up the phone when you call.

Here is what sets B. Haney and Sons Arborists apart from other tree services in Little Compton.
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.
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.
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 Little Compton? We have answers.
Yes. Standard B. Haney and Sons Arborists tree work in Little Compton 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.
Cabling and bracing are structural support systems for trees with weak unions, codominant stems, or split trunks that are otherwise healthy enough to save. Properly installed ANSI A300 hardware can extend a heritage tree life in Little Compton by decades. Not every weak tree is worth cabling — sometimes removal is safer and more cost-effective. Our Little Compton arborists make honest recommendations based on tree value, hazard level, and long-term outlook.
Warning signs in Little Compton 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.
Our Little Compton, RI 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.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Little Compton 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 Little Compton property owners end up with serious financial liability.
In most Rhode Island jurisdictions, Little Compton property owners have the legal right to trim neighbor branches that cross the property line, but only up to the property line and only without damaging the tree health. We always recommend a friendly conversation with the neighbor first and proper documentation. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can perform the work and provide written records — but the legal questions belong with you, not us.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers say.
"Solid tree service experience. Two trees removed, two pruned, all stumps ground. Work was professional and the cleanup was good. The estimate-to-schedule timeline was longer than I expected but the actual day-of work was efficient and well-executed."
"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."
"Very impressed with the safety protocols. The crew set up cones, used rope rigging on every cut, and never moved the chipper without checking the area. You can tell these arborists take their work seriously. Great results, and our property was perfectly safe the whole time."
