Why work with a certified arborist?
An arborist is an individual who is trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining trees, whereas a certified arborist is an individual who has achieved a level of knowledge through experience and by passing a comprehensive examination developed by some of the nation’s leading experts on tree care. They must also continue their education to maintain certification and are therefore more likely to be up to date on the latest arborculture techniques. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees!
