Certified Arborists Save Money and Trees
Trees not only provide greenery and shade, they are a landscaping investment. If you have a problem with a tree on your property, an arborist can efficiently diagnose and treat the issue. Hiring an arborist is money well spent because these professionals have the knowledge and training to spot problems and resolve them before they destroy your tree.
Our arborists are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). The ISA exam covers such topics as pruning, biology, tree protection, soil issues, and safe work practices. Applicants need to have several years of experience working in the field or related education combined with work. Certified arborists are not only prepared to work with trees but to also ensure public safety and pass along knowledge.
They know the area
A local arborist will have special knowledge of tree-related problems affecting your area. They also keep up on the latest news and developments that affect these trees, such as the destructive emerald ash borer. According to CBC News, this insect is causing severe damage to trees in several Canadian cities. An arborist can spot problems like this early and treat it before it gets out of control.
Arborists also have the knowledge to make quick decisions based on experience. For example, seasonal storms can cause broken limbs and other damage. An arborist, sometimes called a tree surgeon, decides which limbs should come off and how the tree can be saved. While it is tempting to try and prune a broken limb yourself, an arborist has special safety training and equipment, so leave the dangerous work to them.
