Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"Cabling and bracing on a heritage oak with a split trunk. The arborist installed proper hardware and showed me exactly what they did and why. The tree is stable, beautiful, and likely good for another 20+ years. Specialized work done right."
"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."
"Tree fertilization and deep-root feeding program for our older trees. The arborist tested the soil first, prescribed a custom blend, and applied it properly into the root zone. Trees are noticeably more vigorous this growing season. Worth it."
