"Deadwooding on a large oak in our front yard. The arborist climbed up and removed every dead branch he could find — no broken limbs falling on us during storms now. Tree looks healthier and the canopy is more open. Excellent work."
"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."
"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."
