"Had a huge dead pine that needed to come down between two houses. The crew used ropes and rigged every section down by hand — no damage to either property. Stump grinder cleaned up the area beautifully. Very impressed with the skill level."
"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."
"B. Haney crew did emergency work after a major storm dropped a huge oak across our driveway. Got there within two hours of my call, brought a crane, and had everything cleared and the stump ground by dinnertime. Honest pricing, professional crew, no surprises."
