Licensed and Bonded Companies

Think of an arborist as a tree doctor; we see physicians at the beginning and end of life, during times of illness and also as preventative measures. An arborist could be consulted during the same stages of a tree's life:

• Tree Pruning and Planting
• Tree Removal
• Tree Care after severe weather
• Lightning Protection
• Aeration

Also, tree care maintenance can be dangerous work. Hiring a well-trained arborist will not only save you money, but also provide peace-of-mind knowing that a professional is over-seeing all aspects of the job.

When searching for a professionally licensed, bonded and insured arborist, consider the following:

• Certification: Your arborist should hold an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certification. This certification ranges in credentials, but all certifications require ongoing education classes and standardized comprehensive exams. ISA-certified means your arborist is up-to-date on procedures and well-versed in tree care maintenance.
• Advertisement: When checking out advertisements for arborists, look for accreditation logos, such as The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)
• Insurance: Make sure that your preferred arborist has insurance to cover personal and property damage and worker’s compensation. Hiring an uninsured arborist means you are liable for any injuries that occur on the job.
• References & Estimates: Always check references and ask for estimates. This will tell you a lot about your arborists before committing to a contract.
