Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"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."
"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."
"Tree fertilization and deep-root feeding program for our older trees. The arborist tested the soil first, prescribed a custom blend, and applied it properly into the root zone. Trees are noticeably more vigorous this growing season. Worth it."
