Every tree in Squirrel Island faces its own challenges — from Maine weather extremes to the specific oaks, maples, ashes, and ornamentals found across this city. B. Haney and Sons Arborists brings local arborist knowledge that out-of-town tree services simply do not have. We know which species are vulnerable to which diseases here, which pruning windows work locally, and which tree work requires permits.
When you call B. Haney and Sons Arborists for tree care in Squirrel Island, ME, you get a team that understands the area. We know the regional disease pressures (oak wilt, emerald ash borer, anthracnose), the local soil quirks, and the weather patterns that drive emergency call volume. No learning curve, no guesswork — just careful arborist work that fits your property.
Here is what sets B. Haney and Sons Arborists apart from other tree services in Squirrel Island.
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.
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.
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.
Have questions about tree care in Squirrel Island? We have answers.
Yes. Standard B. Haney and Sons Arborists tree work in Squirrel Island 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 stump can stay in Squirrel Island if you do not mind it visually and you are not replanting in that exact spot. However, stumps attract carpenter ants and termites, become tripping hazards, interfere with mowing, and may sprout new growth. Stump grinding takes the stump 6 to 12 inches below grade — fast and inexpensive. Full stump removal extracts the root ball — slower and more expensive but sometimes necessary for new construction in Squirrel Island.
Warning signs in Squirrel Island 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 Squirrel Island, ME 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.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Squirrel Island, ME 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.

We provide 24/7 emergency tree response throughout Squirrel Island and surrounding Maine communities. For trees on houses, blocking driveways, or hanging dangerously after storms, our crews typically arrive on-site within 1 to 4 hours of your call depending on weather conditions and current call volume. We arrive with chainsaws, rigging gear, and bucket-truck or crane support as the situation requires.
Real reviews from property owners we have served across the country.
"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."
"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."
"Arborist consultation for a construction project. We needed a tree protection plan to satisfy the city permitting office. The report was professional, thorough, and accepted on the first review. Exactly the documentation we needed."
