Why hire a certified arborist?

A certified arborist is a professional skilled in the science and art of managing individual trees. To achieve certification, an arborist must possess at least three years of relevant experience, pass a comprehensive examination, and complete the required continuing education units for re-certification every three years. As a certified arborist, they adhere to a professional code of ethics and avoid recommending unnecessary treatments. They can assist you in caring for your trees throughout their life cycle, from proper planting techniques to pruning large trees in your yard.

Services provided by arborists:

  • Pruning: Certified arborists utilize pruning to enhance a tree’s form and structure, address insect or disease issues, remove dead or dying branches, and prevent branches from interfering with utilities, structures, streets, or sidewalks.
  • Tree Removal: They can assess whether tree removal is necessary due to risk factors or if a tree is situated in an area that requires its removal, and they can carry out the removal if needed.
  • Emergency Tree Care: After a storm, certified arborists can be called to assist in clearing properties affected by fallen limbs or trees. They evaluate the situation to determine which trees need pruning and which should be removed.
  • Planting: Choosing the right tree for a specific site is crucial for the tree’s long-term health and longevity. A certified arborist can guide you in selecting trees that are best suited for the location.

Additional Services: Many certified arborists also offer extra services, such as plant health care, fertilization, cabling/bracing, and soil aeration.
