Expert arborist services for homes and businesses across Banks, AL. ISA-trained, fully insured, ready 24/7.
Our certified Alabama crews provide a complete range of tree care services for Banks homeowners and businesses.
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.
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.
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.
Expert removal of leaning, decaying, or structurally unsound trees before they fail. Our arborists evaluate root health, trunk integrity, and lean angle to identify true hazards — then remove them safely.
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.
Arborist consulting for property owners, attorneys, HOAs, and developers. Detailed written reports backed by ISA training and decades of arborist experience — the documentation you need, when you need it.
Fast emergency tree response — we are available day, night, weekends, and holidays. Our crews assess the situation, plan a safe approach, and clear the hazard while keeping your property and people protected.
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.
Full root-ball stump removal for new construction, foundation clearance, or anywhere the entire root mass must come out. We excavate the stump completely, back-fill, and grade the area.
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 installation by arborists who know what they are doing — proper depth, mulch ring, watering instructions, and species selection that matches your soil, sun, and space.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Effective tree disease treatment that targets the actual pathogen — not generic spray-and-pray approaches. We diagnose first, treat appropriately, and avoid unnecessary chemical applications.
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.
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.
Health-focused pruning following ANSI A300 standards. Our arborists make proper cuts at the branch collar to remove weak, diseased, or crossing limbs while preserving the natural canopy structure.

Answers to the most frequently asked tree service questions from Banks property owners.
Tree removal costs in Banks 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 Banks, AL 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 Banks landscape.
For most species in Banks, 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 Banks property.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Banks 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 Banks property owners end up with serious financial liability.
Warning signs in Banks 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 Banks, AL crews work with chipper trucks, bucket trucks rated to 60+ feet, chainsaws sized for the cut, climbing gear with redundant tie-in points, rigging ropes and lowering blocks, and stump grinders ranging from sidewalk-sized to track-mounted machines. For large takedowns over structures we bring in crane support. Our equipment selection matches the job — never overkill, never under-spec.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers say.
"The arborist gave honest advice during the estimate — recommended we keep two trees we thought needed removal because they were actually healthy and worth saving. Saved us money and kept the trees. That kind of integrity is rare."
"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."
"Had a huge dead pine that needed to come down between two houses. The crew used ropes and rigged every section down by hand — no damage to either property. Stump grinder cleaned up the area beautifully. Very impressed with the skill level."
