Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Stump removal — full extraction, not just grinding — for new construction footprint. Crew brought the right equipment, removed two large stumps with full root balls, back-filled, and left the area graded for the foundation work. Clean job."
"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."
"These arborists actually care about tree health, not just cutting. They talked me out of an unnecessary removal and helped me set up a long-term plant health care plan instead. The tree is healthier than ever and saved me thousands compared to a removal-replant."
