Why Hire an ISA Certified Arborist?

Unfortunately some tree care companies only remove trees and don’t employ experienced, I.S.A. certified Arborists to maintain the health of the trees on their property.

The International Society of Arboriculture 501c3 organization “exists so that professionals, public officials, and consumers worldwide recognize the economic, environmental, and societal benefits and values of trees.”

By establishing best practices for proper tree care, safety, equipment and anything else related to maintaining the health of trees, the I.S.A. provides a framework of knowledge to the tree care industry to enable Certified Arborists to improve tree health and safely remove damaged trees.

ISA Certified Arborists are recognized as qualified, competent, and safe tree care professionals who are sought out the by the public, government organizations, and other professionals.

Everyone on our team is either an I.S.A. certified Arborist or studying to become one.

Homeowners should always contact I.S.A certified Arborists to ensure a qualified professional is evaluating the health of their trees and safely removing trees that cannot be brought back to proper health. If sufficient tree health can’t be maintained, trees can damage or devalue your property.

Research has shown that healthy, mature trees can improve property value 3%-15%, according to the Arbor Day Foundation!

Mature trees (known as Veteran trees, in honor of their age, size and condition) can also:

  • Improve air quality

  • Help conserve water quality

  • Provide a habitat for wildlife

If you notice dead branches, discolored leaves, or early leaf drop, contacting an I.S.A. certified Arborist is the only way to ensure proper care for your trees.

Use the Find an Arborist tool to search the credentials of your local I.S.A. Certified Arborist to ensure the certification is active and the name matches. Don’t search their name, use their I.S.A. certification number - it will be in this format: EX. KY-1234 A.
