Real feedback from property owners who trusted B. Haney and Sons Arborists with their tree care.
"Good experience overall with B. Haney and Sons. They pruned our front-yard oak and trimmed back the maples that were rubbing on the roof. Office took a couple of follow-ups to schedule, but the field crew was top-notch and the work was done right. Trees look great."
"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."
"Haney crew handled a complicated removal — large dead oak hanging over our pool with a tight drop zone. Used proper rigging, took it down in pieces, no damage to the pool deck. The crew leader clearly knew what he was doing. Reasonable pricing and clean cleanup."
