Real feedback from property owners who trusted B. Haney and Sons Arborists with their tree care.
"Tree planting service was excellent. The arborist helped us pick species that would thrive in our soil and climate, and the planting itself was done with proper depth, root ball preparation, and staking. All five trees are doing great two seasons later."
"Hazardous tree removal on a leaning oak threatening our house. Crew arrived on time with proper equipment, rigged everything down in sections, and the property was completely safe the entire time. Great communication from quote through cleanup."
"Haney and Sons saved a 100-year-old elm on our property. Other companies told us to take it down. Their arborist did a careful evaluation, recommended cabling and a treatment plan, and the tree is thriving three years later. This is what 85 years of tree care knowledge looks like."
