A Certified Arborist is the best professional for your tree care

Tested and approved by the International Society of Arboriculture, the Certified Arborist has the knowledge and skills to perform a variety of services in the tree care industry.

Their studies include:
• tree biology,
• pest identification,
• proper pruning techniques,
• climbing how-to,
• safe methods for lowering branches and heavy wood,
• tree and risk assessment
and more. They are required to accrue continuing education credits towards re-certification every three years.

A Certified Arborist may be equated to a licenced electrician or plumber who has been thoroughly trained. However, only a handful of states license arborists, including Connecticut, Maine, Louisana and Rhode Island. Local jurisdictions, such as a city, may regulate the profession to minimize the local damage that can be done by improper pruning techniques. Individuals who are certified are knowledgeable in all phases of tree care, but may work in a capacity where they are not performing tree care. You'll find them in municipal positions, working as appraisers, or as landscapers.

Often you will find a tree service that advertises that they have a Certified Arborist on staff. Inquire whether that individual will be working on your property or if the climbers have been trained by him or her.

Having a Certified Arborist consult with you insures that you are getting expert tree advice and the best possible options for pruning or removal. pruning or removal. Having that same person perform the work is the best guarantee that you will have tree care performed properly.
