Real feedback from property owners who trusted B. Haney and Sons Arborists with their tree care.
"I researched a lot of tree companies before picking B. Haney and Sons. The legacy of their name and the reviews from longtime customers sealed it. They removed three dying ash trees, planted two replacements, and gave me a written care plan for the new ones. Worth every dollar."
"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."
"These guys are the real deal. Took down a massive oak that was leaning toward our house. Used a crane, lifted out the canopy in sections, and dropped the trunk in a controlled fall to a tarp on the lawn — no impact damage to anything. Worth every penny."
