Tree Pruning
Our certified arborists perform precision pruning following A300 standards, including cleaning dead branches, thinning density, and structural shaping. We prioritize tree health while minimizing property impact through careful debris management. Each project ensures long-term growth patterns and aesthetic value are maintained.
Hazardous Tree Removal
We safely remove unstable trees using advanced rigging and crane systems. Our team handles emergency storm damage with temporary road closures and neighbor coordination. Equipment includes a 98' crane and bucket truck for complex access challenges.
Tree Risk Assessments
Certified professionals evaluate tree stability and potential hazards using TRAQ methodology. We provide detailed recommendations for mitigation strategies, including cabling, bracing, or targeted pruning to enhance structural integrity.

Our eco-conscious approach combines chemical treatments and biological controls to combat infestations. Services include Mauget injections for birch leaf miners and bronze birch borers, with ongoing monitoring to prevent recurrence.

We have had the pleasure of hiring Whitney Tree Service several times for several jobs. They were always prompt, communicative and professional making sure the job was completed as expected. We will continue to use them when ever we need tree service.

Report
We had a difficult job which required heavy equipment and large cranes. This subsequently required a temporary road closure and coordination with our neighbors and Sugarbush mountain. The work was absolutely amazing- it was as if the trees- and Adam's team- had never been there (I still cant figure out how they left NO sawdust...). What was as impressive was their communication and efforts to minimize the inconvenience to our surrounding neighbors. I HIGHLY recommend them, and will be using their services in the future. Extremely professional, courteous and exceptional work at a reasonable price

Whitney's Tree Service is simply the best. Absolutely professional work. Adam, Marilyn are easy to talk to and are great at keeping in touch. We've had a few huge trees taken down (3 foot diameter) and the work was done safely with perfect results. We also had 25 stumps ground down with their amazing machine. There is no one more knowledgeable and skilled. The prices are more than reasonable and we will be calling on them this spring - wouldn't think of contracting with anyone else!
