We coordinate with your builder schedule and deliver a build-ready site at the timing your construction crew needs.
Per your scope. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can grind stumps as part of Rochester lot clearing, fully extract stumps for construction footprints, or leave stumps in place for situations where they will be left to decompose naturally.

Permit requirements in Rochester for lot clearing depend on the size of the area, the trees being removed (some species are protected), the proximity to wetlands or sensitive habitat, and your zoning. Many New York jurisdictions require erosion-control plans for clearing over a certain size. B. Haney and Sons Arborists helps Rochester clients navigate permitting before any equipment moves.
Real feedback from property owners who trusted B. Haney and Sons Arborists with their tree care.
"Good quality tree work. Pruning was done well and the trees look great. Office communication was a little slow at the start, but once the crew was on-site everything went smoothly. Reasonable pricing too."
"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."
"Cabling and bracing on a heritage oak with a split trunk. The arborist installed proper hardware and showed me exactly what they did and why. The tree is stable, beautiful, and likely good for another 20+ years. Specialized work done right."
