Answers to the most frequently asked tree service questions from Essex Fells property owners.
For most species in Essex Fells, 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 Essex Fells property.
Tree removal costs in Essex Fells 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.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Essex Fells 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 Essex Fells property owners end up with serious financial liability.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Essex Fells, NJ 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.

Tree removal in Essex Fells means taking the entire tree down to a stump or grinding the stump as well — usually because the tree is dead, hazardous, undesirable, or in the way of construction. Tree trimming is selective branch work to shape the canopy, clear structures, or improve appearance. Pruning is more health-focused than trimming, removing weak or diseased wood. We help Essex Fells property owners decide which approach fits each tree.
Our Essex Fells, NJ 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.
Honest feedback from property owners who trusted B. Haney and Sons Arborists with their tree care.
"Hedge and shrub trimming for our entire foundation planting and a long property-line hedge. The crew shaped everything beautifully — formal lines on the hedge, natural shape on the shrubs. Easy scheduling, fair price, great results."
"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."
"The arborist gave honest advice during the estimate — recommended we keep two trees we thought needed removal because they were actually healthy and worth saving. Saved us money and kept the trees. That kind of integrity is rare."
