Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"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."
"Called for emergency tree service after a big limb came down on our shed. Crew was here within three hours, removed the limb, cleaned up all the debris, and did not even charge us extra for the after-hours call. That is integrity right there."
"Good quality tree work. Pruning was done well and the trees look great. Office communication was a little slow at the start, but once the crew was on-site everything went smoothly. Reasonable pricing too."
