Pruning in Portland is health-focused — removing weak, diseased, or structurally problematic branches following ANSI A300 standards. Trimming is more aesthetic — shaping the canopy or clearing structures. Many Portland jobs combine both. B. Haney and Sons Arborists explains the difference and what each tree actually needs during the assessment.
Proper pruning at the right time and the right amount actually improves tree health in Portland. Bad pruning (topping, lion-tailing, stub cuts) damages trees for decades. B. Haney and Sons Arborists arborists follow ANSI A300 standards and never remove more than 25% of live canopy in a single visit — proper biology, real arborist science.

Haney and Sons Arborists does proper crown reduction with cuts to lateral branches when size reduction is needed in Portland. We will not top a tree even if a customer asks for it.
Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"Hired them for a tree disease treatment after we noticed yellowing leaves on our birches. The arborist diagnosed the issue, recommended a treatment plan, and the trees recovered beautifully. They could have pushed unnecessary treatments — they did not."
"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."
"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."
