Our team is staffed by Certified Arborists, together having over 100 years of experience in the tree care field!
As Certified Arborists we have been trained in the art and science of tree care. Most of our staff are Certified, or working towards becoming Certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). ISA certification includes passing an exam that covers various aspects of arboriculture, including tree biology, pruning, soil management, pest control and tree risk assessment.
To maintain certification, Arborists must obtain CEU's (continuing education units) to stay up to date with the latest tree care research and practices.
Hiring a Certified Arborist ensures that your tree work is done safely and according to best management practices.
