Real feedback from property owners who trusted B. Haney and Sons Arborists with their tree care.
"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."
"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."
"Solid tree service. Took down two trees and pruned three more. The work was done right and the cleanup was good. Slight scheduling delays due to weather but they communicated well and made it right. Would hire again."
