Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"I researched a lot of tree companies before picking B. Haney and Sons. The legacy of their name and the reviews from longtime customers sealed it. They removed three dying ash trees, planted two replacements, and gave me a written care plan for the new ones. Worth every dollar."
"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."
"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."
