WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE AN ARBORIST?

Arborists, by definition, are individuals who are trained in the art and science of planting, caring for and maintaining
trees. Certified arborists have at least a minimum of three years experience and have passed a comprehensive
examination. We must also continue our education to maintain our certification and stay up to date on the latest
techniques in arboriculture.

Hiring an arborist should not be taken lightly. Proper tree care can add considerable value and appeal to your
property. Poorly maintained trees can be a liability. Pruning or removing trees can be dangerous work and
should only be done by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.

We are the Right Arborist for the Job!

There are a variety of things to consider when selecting an arborist which include:

• A membership in professional organizations such as the National Arborist
  Association (NAA) or International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) which demonstrates
  a willingness on the part of the arborist to stay up to date on the latest information
  and techniques used.
• Ask for proof of insurance.
• Ask for references and don’t hesitate to check them or even visit to see the quality of the work.
• Don’t always accept the lowest bid. Verify the credentials to determine reliability and knowledge in
  order to make your decision on the best price.
