Expert arborist services for homes and businesses across Swaledale, IA. ISA-trained, fully insured, ready 24/7.
Our certified Iowa crews provide a complete range of tree care services for Swaledale homeowners and businesses.
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.
Skilled hedge and shrub work that maintains shape, health, and curb appeal. We use sharp tools, proper timing for each species, and full debris cleanup on every visit.
Professional cabling and bracing for valuable trees with structural weaknesses. We use rust-resistant cable, proper hardware, and ANSI A300 installation methods to give your tree decades more life.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Independent expert opinion from ISA-trained arborists — risk assessments, hazard tree reports, plan reviews, and pre-construction tree protection plans for legal, insurance, or HOA needs.
Careful removal of dangerous trees that threaten your property or your family safety. Our crews use crane support, controlled rigging, and ANSI Z133 safety standards on every hazardous tree job.
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.
Cost-effective stump grinding that takes the visible stump 6 to 12 inches below grade. Fast and efficient — ideal when you need to mow, replant grass, or simply get rid of the eyesore.
Professional dead tree removal with proper safety protocols. Dead trees are more dangerous than they look — our arborists know how to assess wood integrity and bring them down in controlled sections.
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.
Aesthetic trimming that shapes the canopy and clears branches away from rooflines, power lines, and walkways. Our crews work with rope rigging to keep the work clean and the property undamaged.
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.
Complete storm cleanup from broken limbs to whole-tree removals. We work fast after weather events to clear hazards, haul wood and debris, and leave your property safe and accessible again.
Tree pest treatment by arborists who understand insect biology. From emerald ash borer trunk injections to scale soil drenches, we choose the right method, the right timing, and the right product.
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.
Professional deadwooding service that removes only the dead branches — leaving live structure untouched. Climbed work with careful spotting to ensure no live wood is removed by mistake.
Crown reduction service done right — proportional canopy reduction that respects tree biology. Our certified arborists size up each cut to ensure the tree heals cleanly and continues to thrive.
Complete stump extraction beyond what grinding can offer. Our crews dig out the root ball with appropriate equipment, dispose of the wood, and leave the site ready for the next phase of construction or landscaping.
B. Haney and Sons Arborists brings 85 years of tree care tradition to the close-knit city of Swaledale, IA. Carrying on an arborist legacy that began in Lombard, Illinois in 1940, our crews approach every tree on every property with the same careful, science-based mindset that built the original reputation. In a smaller community, word travels fast — and we work like every job will be talked about by the neighbors.
From a single shade-tree pruning to a full storm cleanup, our Swaledale arborists handle every project with proper rigging, clean cuts, and complete site cleanup. We use the right equipment for the size of the job — bucket trucks where they make sense, climbers where rigging is better — and we treat your property like our own. That is how B. Haney and Sons Arborists earns trust the old-fashioned way.
We are committed to careful tree work that protects your property, your trees, and your investment.
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.
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.
Every quote is itemized in writing. The price you agree to is the price you pay. No surprise add-ons, no hidden fees for cleanup or stump grinding when those were already included.
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.
Have questions about tree care in Swaledale? We have answers.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Swaledale, IA 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 do not just plant whatever the customer asks for if we know the species will fail. The right tree in the right place is the foundation of every healthy Swaledale landscape.
Tree removal permits in Swaledale depend on local ordinances, the tree species, the trunk diameter, and whether the tree is on private property or in the public right-of-way. Some Iowa municipalities protect heritage trees, certain native species, or street trees, while others require no permit for private-property removals. We check local rules before quoting and pull permits on your behalf when required.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Swaledale 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 Swaledale property owners end up with serious financial liability.
Tree removal in Swaledale 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 Swaledale property owners decide which approach fits each tree.
Tree removal costs in Swaledale 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.
Warning signs in Swaledale 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 reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers say.
"B. Haney and Sons did a tree transplant for us — moved a young Japanese maple from one part of the yard to a better spot. The tree came through the move in great shape and is leafing out beautifully this spring. Real arborist work, not just chainsaw work."
"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."
"Haney and Sons saved a 100-year-old elm on our property. Other companies told us to take it down. Their arborist did a careful evaluation, recommended cabling and a treatment plan, and the tree is thriving three years later. This is what 85 years of tree care knowledge looks like."
