Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"Got a written arborist consultation report for a real estate transaction — needed documentation that several trees on the property were not hazardous. Report was thorough, professional, and got accepted by the title company without issue. Quick turnaround too."
"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."
"Deadwooding on a large oak in our front yard. The arborist climbed up and removed every dead branch he could find — no broken limbs falling on us during storms now. Tree looks healthier and the canopy is more open. Excellent work."
