From routine pruning to emergency tree response, we handle every tree care need for homes and businesses in Stanford, MT.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Professional tree pest control using IPM principles. We identify the pest, choose the most targeted treatment method, and protect non-target pollinators wherever possible — effective and responsible.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Professional tree trimming for shape, clearance, and curb appeal. We remove branches that interfere with structures or sight lines while keeping the natural form of each tree intact.
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.
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.
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.

Arborist expertise, integrity, and rapid response — the B. Haney and Sons Arborists difference for Stanford property owners.
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.

Common questions about tree care in Stanford, MT.
Yes. Standard B. Haney and Sons Arborists tree work in Stanford 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.
In most Montana jurisdictions, Stanford 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.
Warning signs in Stanford 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.
The stump can stay in Stanford 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 Stanford.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Stanford, MT 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 Stanford landscape.
Tree removal permits in Stanford 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 Montana 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.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers say.
"B. Haney was thorough and the work was excellent — pruned five trees on our property and ground two stumps. Took a little longer than originally estimated to schedule, but once they arrived the crew was efficient and respectful. Would definitely use again."
"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."
"Solid tree service experience. Two trees removed, two pruned, all stumps ground. Work was professional and the cleanup was good. The estimate-to-schedule timeline was longer than I expected but the actual day-of work was efficient and well-executed."
