Why Hire an Arborist?

Healthy trees serve many purposes in your local community. A way for
homeowners to ensure their trees stay healthy is by hiring an arborist.
Professional, trained arborists know how to properly maintain trees for
the safety of the public and the health of the tree.

Trees are an investment that require proper tree care; however,
pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous
work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to
work safely in trees.

What is a Certified Arborist?

An ISA arborist certification is a nongovernmental, voluntary process
by which individuals can document their base of knowledge.
Certification provides a measurable assessment of an individual’s
knowledge in the competencies needed for proper tree care.

When a professional becomes an ISA Certified Arborist®, they should
be recognized by their peers and the public as a tree care professional
who has attained a generally-accepted level of knowledge in areas such
as tree biology, diagnosis, maintenance practices, safety, and other
subject and practice areas within the tree care profession as identified
through periodic job task analyses.

They must also continue their education to maintain their
certification. Therefore, they are more likely to be up to date on the
latest techniques in arboriculture.

    locations.
