Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"Very impressed with the safety protocols. The crew set up cones, used rope rigging on every cut, and never moved the chipper without checking the area. You can tell these arborists take their work seriously. Great results, and our property was perfectly safe the whole time."
"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."
"The pruning work on our heritage oak was exceptional. The arborist explained which limbs needed to come out for tree health and which to leave for canopy structure. Cuts were made cleanly at the proper collar locations. Tree looks beautiful and well-balanced."
