Trusted by De Soto property owners for tree removal, careful pruning, stump grinding & complete plant health care throughout Wisconsin.
Every tree service you need, delivered by trained arborists who know the De Soto area.
Complete lot clearing with the right equipment for the scale — track loaders, chippers, brush mulchers, and chainsaw crews. Fast, efficient, and priced per acre rather than per tree.
Selective canopy planing to level uneven growth and refine tree silhouettes. We work with the natural tree form rather than against it, balancing aesthetics with long-term tree health.
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.
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.
Professional hazardous tree takedowns by ISA-trained arborists with proper rigging and full safety protocols. We make the tree come down where we want it, not where gravity wants it.
Species-appropriate tree planting with proper root ball preparation, planting depth, soil amendment, and staking. We help you choose trees that will thrive on your specific site.
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.
Arborist consulting for property owners, attorneys, HOAs, and developers. Detailed written reports backed by ISA training and decades of arborist experience — the documentation you need, when you need it.
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.
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.
Professional tree trimming for shape, clearance, and curb appeal. We remove branches that interfere with structures or sight lines while keeping the natural form of each tree intact.
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.
Full root-ball stump removal for new construction, foundation clearance, or anywhere the entire root mass must come out. We excavate the stump completely, back-fill, and grade the area.
Professional pruning that improves tree health, structure, and longevity. We selectively remove problem branches, reduce wind sail where appropriate, and leave the tree balanced and ready to thrive for years.
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.
Whole-tree size reduction to reduce wind sail, fit the site better, or clear setbacks. Our arborists make proper reduction cuts at lateral branches — never topping, never lion-tailing.
Full-service tree takedowns from initial assessment through final cleanup. Our arborists handle everything — rigging the canopy down piece by piece, removing the trunk, grinding the stump, and clearing all debris.
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.
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.
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.
Professional stump removal by grinding. We bring the right-sized grinder for the access (handheld for tight spots, track-mounted for big stumps), grind the stump and surface roots, and rake the chips smooth.
Targeted removal of dead, dying, and broken branches throughout the canopy. Eliminates falling-limb hazards, reduces disease pathways, and improves overall tree health and appearance.
Tree work is among the most dangerous trades in the country, and the difference between a clean takedown and a disaster comes down to rigging, equipment, and crew training. B. Haney and Sons Arborists invests heavily in all three at every De Soto property — ANSI Z133 safety standards, redundant tie-in points, proper rope rigging on every cut, and equipment sized exactly right for the job.
Our De Soto, WI arborists work with bucket trucks, climbing gear, rigging blocks, chippers, and stump grinders — choosing the right tool for each situation. Whether it is a routine prune or an emergency takedown over a De Soto structure, every B. Haney and Sons Arborists tree job is engineered for safety first, efficiency second, and quality cleanup as the standard.
Arborist expertise, integrity, and rapid response — the B. Haney and Sons Arborists difference for De Soto property owners.
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.
Standard service includes hauling all branches and brush, chipping the small wood, raking the work area, and leaving your property cleaner than we found it. No surprise debris-removal fees.
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.
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.
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.
Answers to the most frequently asked tree service questions from De Soto property owners.
Tree removal costs in De Soto 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.
Tree removal in De Soto 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 De Soto property owners decide which approach fits each tree.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your De Soto 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 De Soto property owners end up with serious financial liability.
For most species in De Soto, 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 De Soto property.
Yes. Our crews working in De Soto 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 De Soto 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.
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 De Soto by decades. Not every weak tree is worth cabling — sometimes removal is safer and more cost-effective. Our De Soto arborists make honest recommendations based on tree value, hazard level, and long-term outlook.
Real reviews from property owners we have served across the country.
"Tree pest control treatment for emerald ash borer. The arborist explained the trunk-injection process, treated our ash trees, and the trees have stayed healthy through what would otherwise have been a death sentence. Thank you for saving them."
"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."
"These guys are the real deal. Took down a massive oak that was leaning toward our house. Used a crane, lifted out the canopy in sections, and dropped the trunk in a controlled fall to a tarp on the lawn — no impact damage to anything. Worth every penny."
