Professional tree care, pruning, removal & emergency response serving Gowrie and surrounding communities in Iowa.
Every tree service you need, delivered by trained arborists who know the Gowrie area.
Professional stump removal by grinding. We bring the right-sized grinder for the access (handheld for tight spots, track-mounted for big stumps), grind the stump and surface roots, and rake the chips smooth.
Professional shrub and hedge maintenance — formal hedges, foundation plantings, and overgrown ornamentals. We shape with the right tool for each species and the proper timing.
Tree cabling and bracing services by ISA-trained arborists. We assess the structural defect, design appropriate hardware placement, and install cables that prevent tree failure without strangling growth.
Targeted treatment for oak wilt, anthracnose, Dutch elm disease, apple scab, and other tree pathogens. We diagnose accurately and apply EPA-registered fungicides only when they will actually help.
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.
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.
24/7 emergency response for trees on houses, blocking driveways, or hanging dangerously after storms. Our crews mobilize fast with cranes, bucket trucks, and chainsaws to make your property safe.
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 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.
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.
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.
Deep-root fertilization and plant health care designed for established trees in compacted urban soils. We test, prescribe, and inject custom slow-release nutrients into the root zone.
Storm damage tree service to clear your property after severe weather. Our crews handle fallen trees, hanging limbs, and brush cleanup — large-scale or single-tree, residential or commercial.
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.
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.
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.
Professional lot clearing service from small overgrown sites to multi-acre projects. We handle tree removal, brush clearing, chipping, and final grading — leaving you a build-ready site.
Professional tree planing that reshapes overgrown or unbalanced canopies for residential and commercial landscapes. Our arborists never lion-tail or top — only proper reduction cuts that the tree can recover from.
Skilled removal of standing deadwood, regardless of size. We use the right combination of climbing, rigging, and crane support for each dead tree to keep our crew and your property completely safe.
Professional arborist consultation services with written reports. Whether you need a tree risk assessment, a real estate transaction document, or a construction tree protection plan, we provide credible expert opinions.
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.
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.

Have questions about tree care in Gowrie? We have answers.
Tree removal in Gowrie 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 Gowrie property owners decide which approach fits each tree.
The stump can stay in Gowrie 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 Gowrie.
Warning signs in Gowrie 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.
Yes. Standard B. Haney and Sons Arborists tree work in Gowrie 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.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Gowrie, 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 Gowrie landscape.
For most species in Gowrie, 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 Gowrie property.
Honest feedback from property owners who trusted B. Haney and Sons Arborists with their tree care.
"Tree planting service was excellent. The arborist helped us pick species that would thrive in our soil and climate, and the planting itself was done with proper depth, root ball preparation, and staking. All five trees are doing great two seasons later."
"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."
"Deadwooding on a large oak in our front yard. The arborist climbed up and removed every dead branch he could find — no broken limbs falling on us during storms now. Tree looks healthier and the canopy is more open. Excellent work."
