Summer Tips for your Trees from Bhaney and Sons Arborists

Summer Tree Tips

Trees should be watered during dry, hot periods when there is no rainfall for two weeks. The equivalent of one inch of rain per two weeks is sufficient. Water can be measured with a rain gauge or straight sided container placed in watering area. Properly watered trees will be healthier and able to resist pests and diseases better.

Along with watering, it is important to look at the leaves of your trees. A problem may exist if the leaves have holes or are shriveling, dropping, turning yellow, brown or early fall color.

It is important this year, to check for structural problems of your trees. For example, crotches are weak from the draught of the last few years, and are splitting. We can strengthen week areas with cable and bracing techniques.

Consulting an arborist is the best way to begin fixing the problem or at least minimizing the damage. Remember to check the credentials of arborists, and beware of disreputable tree companies. The uninsured tree worker you hire today, could own your home tomorrow. Beware of door-to-door solicitors, demands for pre-payment, jobs sold without written estimates or work orders.

Company History


Boyd Haney began his career in arboriculture in the 1930's with the Village of Oak Park. In 1940, Boyd left Oak Park with a vision to provide top quality tree-care to his customers. That year, Boyd and a partner started American Tree Service. Shortly thereafter, Boyd bought out his partner and renamed the company B. Haney & Sons.

From the beginning, B. Haney & Sons was a family affair, Boyd doing the sales and treework, his wife Gladys keeping the books and answering the phones. In the late 1940's their three sons: Jack, Bill and Jim joined the company. After completing their military obligations in the mid 1950's, they began their full-time careers as "tree surgeons" as they were then known.

That was a time of great growth. By the early 1960's, the company had reached forty employees. The 1980's saw the family tradition continue as the third generation of Haney's joined the company.

B. Haney & Sons continues to grow as a fourth generation has begun part time with the company; all the while maintaining Boyd's vision of providing top quality tree care to our customers.
