Why Hire an Arborist?

An arborist, by definition, is an individual trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining individual trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring an arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly.

Expert Tree Care for a Healthier Landscape

Tree Selection

Choosing the right tree for your landscape is essential for its long-term health and growth. Certified arborists are trained in tree biology and can provide expert guidance on selecting the best tree species for your specific location. By considering factors such as soil conditions, climate, and space availability, they ensure that the tree will thrive in its environment.

Tree Health

Maintaining tree health requires proper diagnosis and care. Certified arborists are skilled in identifying tree health issues, including diseases and pest infestations. With their expertise, they can recommend appropriate treatments to protect and restore tree vitality. By addressing problems early, they help prevent further damage and ensure the longevity of your trees.

Tree Risk Assessment 

ISA’s Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) as an instructor-led credential that demonstrates professional knowledge in tree risk assessment through participation in a training course and passing its accompanying exam. The TRAQ program offers tree care professionals the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the fundamentals of tree risk assessment by learning a standardized, systematic process for assessing tree risk and providing information to tree owners and risk managers for making informed decisions that will promote the safety of people and property and enhance tree benefits, health, and longevity. Through education and training, arborists will learn strategies to systematically identify and assess tree risk.
