Professional hazardous tree takedowns by ISA-trained arborists with proper rigging and full safety protocols. We make the tree come down where we want it, not where gravity wants it.
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.
Skilled trimming work that balances appearance with tree health. Our arborists know which branches to remove for clearance and which to leave for canopy structure — every cut is intentional.
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.
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.
Integrated pest management for emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, scale insects, Japanese beetles, and other tree pests. Trunk injections, soil drenches, and bark sprays — chosen for least impact.
Tree planting service that goes beyond just digging a hole. We test soil where appropriate, prepare the root ball correctly, plant at the right depth, and follow up with first-season care guidance.
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.
Whole-tree size reduction to reduce wind sail, fit the site better, or clear setbacks. Our arborists make proper reduction cuts at lateral branches — never topping, never lion-tailing.
Tree relocation service for valuable specimens that need to move within or between properties. We use spade trucks, hand-dug methods, and proper aftercare to give your transplanted tree the best chance.
Selective branch removal to increase light and air movement through the canopy without reducing overall size. Reduces wind resistance, improves understory growth, keeps natural tree shape.
Professional tree fertilization that delivers nutrients where roots can actually use them. Surface fertilizer feeds the lawn — deep-root injection feeds the tree. Real plant health care, not just spreading granules.
Safe, professional removal of unwanted, oversized, or dying trees. Our certified arborists assess each tree, plan the rigging carefully, and bring it down in controlled sections without damaging structures or landscaping.
Tree planing service for property owners who want refined silhouettes without compromising tree structure. We make selective cuts that improve appearance and preserve the tree long-term health.
Specialized takedown of dead trees that have become brittle and unpredictable. We use crane assistance and advanced rigging because deadwood does not behave like live wood under load — safety-first work.
Shrub and hedge trimming by crews who understand which plants tolerate hard pruning and which need a gentle touch. Formal lines on hedges, natural shape on shrubs — clean results either way.
Careful tree pruning by ISA-trained arborists. We never top, lion-tail, or stub-cut — every cut is made with the tree biological response in mind, protecting the heartwood and accelerating wound closure.
Complete deadwood removal from large mature trees. Our climbers go through the canopy systematically, identifying and removing every dead branch worth taking — safer trees, healthier appearance.

Here is what sets B. Haney and Sons Arborists apart from other tree services in Maquoketa.
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.
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.
We tell you when a tree can be saved and when it should come down — even if that means turning down work. Our reputation depends on honest advice, not maximizing every invoice.
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 Maquoketa? We have answers.
Warning signs in Maquoketa 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.
We provide 24/7 emergency tree response throughout Maquoketa and surrounding Iowa 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.
For most species in Maquoketa, late winter through early spring (while trees are dormant and before bud break) is the ideal pruning window — wounds heal cleanly and disease pressure is lowest. Oaks should not be pruned during the spring-summer oak wilt risk period. Storm damage and hazardous limbs can be addressed any time of year. We tailor pruning timing to each species at your Maquoketa property.
Tree removal costs in Maquoketa 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.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Maquoketa, 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 Maquoketa landscape.
In most Iowa jurisdictions, Maquoketa property owners have the legal right to trim neighbor branches that cross the property line, but only up to the property line and only without damaging the tree health. We always recommend a friendly conversation with the neighbor first and proper documentation. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can perform the work and provide written records — but the legal questions belong with you, not us.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers say.
"Tree fertilization and deep-root feeding program for our older trees. The arborist tested the soil first, prescribed a custom blend, and applied it properly into the root zone. Trees are noticeably more vigorous this growing season. Worth it."
"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."
"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."
