"The arborist who came out for the estimate spent 45 minutes walking the property and explaining what each tree needed. No upselling, no pressure, just honest advice. The pruning crew was equally professional. Great experience start to finish."
"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."
"Good tree work overall. The trimming and pruning was excellent and the trees look great. Cleanup could have been a little more thorough — found a few stray branches the next morning — but the actual tree work was top-notch and we will use them again."
