Trusted by Bear Branch property owners for tree removal, careful pruning, stump grinding & complete plant health care throughout Kentucky.
Every tree service you need, delivered by trained arborists who know the Bear Branch area.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Clean stump grinding service that leaves your yard ready for sod, mulch, or new planting. Our grinder operators are efficient and the cleanup is thorough — no chips left scattered across the lawn.
Post-storm cleanup including downed tree removal, broken-limb extraction, and complete debris hauling. We coordinate with insurance adjusters and document the damage as needed.
Skilled crown thinning by ISA-trained arborists. We reduce canopy density carefully and selectively, removing weak and crossing branches while preserving the structural framework of the tree.
Professional crown reduction that brings the canopy down proportionally while preserving tree structure. We use proper reduction cuts to lateral branches the tree can recover from, never harmful topping.
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.
Structural cabling and bracing to support weak unions and split trunks on otherwise healthy trees. Properly installed ANSI A300 hardware can extend a heritage tree life by decades.
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 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.
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.
Targeted removal of dead, dying, and broken branches throughout the canopy. Eliminates falling-limb hazards, reduces disease pathways, and improves overall tree health and appearance.
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.
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.
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.
Total stump and root removal for situations where grinding is not enough. We handle the excavation, removal, back-fill, and final grading — leaving you a clean site ready for whatever comes next.
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.
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.
Tree work is among the most dangerous trades in the country, and the difference between a clean takedown and a disaster comes down to rigging, equipment, and crew training. B. Haney and Sons Arborists invests heavily in all three at every Bear Branch property — ANSI Z133 safety standards, redundant tie-in points, proper rope rigging on every cut, and equipment sized exactly right for the job.
Our Bear Branch, KY arborists work with bucket trucks, climbing gear, rigging blocks, chippers, and stump grinders — choosing the right tool for each situation. Whether it is a routine prune or an emergency takedown over a Bear Branch structure, every B. Haney and Sons Arborists tree job is engineered for safety first, efficiency second, and quality cleanup as the standard.
We are committed to careful tree work that protects your property, your trees, and your investment.
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.
Tree work is high-risk. We carry full general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage so you are never financially exposed for accidents on your property. Certificates available on request.
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.
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.
Have questions about tree care in Bear Branch? We have answers.
Warning signs in Bear Branch 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.
Cabling and bracing are structural support systems for trees with weak unions, codominant stems, or split trunks that are otherwise healthy enough to save. Properly installed ANSI A300 hardware can extend a heritage tree life in Bear Branch by decades. Not every weak tree is worth cabling — sometimes removal is safer and more cost-effective. Our Bear Branch arborists make honest recommendations based on tree value, hazard level, and long-term outlook.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Bear Branch property should carry general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. B.

We check local rules before quoting and pull permits on your behalf when required.

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.
Real reviews from property owners we have served across the country.
"Stump grinding job done quickly and cleanly. The grinder operator was efficient, and the cleanup was thorough — no chips left scattered around the yard. Easy scheduling, fair price, professional crew. Cannot ask for more."
"Called for emergency tree service after a big limb came down on our shed. Crew was here within three hours, removed the limb, cleaned up all the debris, and did not even charge us extra for the after-hours call. That is integrity right there."
"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."
